New research out this month is saying that Australian’s aren’t getting enough sleep – and that it’s slowly killing us. The research reportedly found that Australian’s are getting only 6.5 hours of sleep a night on average. However, the report also stated that nearly 12 per cent of Australians are getting only 5.5 hours per night… or less. The research further showed that up to 45 per cent of people have poor sleep patterns and the number of health issues caused by this lack of sleep has risen by 10 per cent since 2010. The report went on to say that health consequences directly attributed to lack of sleep include a greater risk of: • Diabetes • Stroke • Heart Disease • Obesity • Mental Illness • Cognition problems • Memory loss Concerningly, the report also found that one-in five people say they have nodded off while driving and that lack of sleep claims the lives of approximately 3,000 people per year. According to the study’s lead researcher, Professor Robert Adams, a large part of the problem is that for many Australians, our body clocks are out of alignment, a problem known to negatively impact health and wellbeing.

Now that winter is upon us, many of us are considering the best way to keep toasty warm in bed without spending a fortune on heating.  Well, you might be surprised to learn that by far the most cost effective way of escaping the winter chill, and huge electricity bills, is by using an electric blanket. How much on average does it cost to run an Electric Blanket? Contrary to popular belief, an electric blanket costs almost nothing to run – in fact on average they cost approximately 4 cents per hour.  This is because they are very effective at dispersing heat (through built in wires) and then trapping heat beneath the quilt. Most people who are regular users of electric blankets tend to switch their blanket on for about 30 minutes (on an average setting) before they get into bed.  This makes the bed beautifully warm to get into.  Once in, they often turn the electric blanket off, as the heat is trapped in the bed with nowhere to escape to and thus they are liable to stay warm for the remainder of the night.
