Nocturnal bed wetting bedwetting (enuresis nocturna) as a disturbance is so important that it must be particularly stressed in is . It is extremely widespread; 10% to 15% of all children suffer from it. Often the condition is wrongly diagnosed and is not properly understood by doctors. Certainly the symptom of bedwetting cannot be overlooked. What is meant, though, by wrong medical diagnosis of the condition is the failure to distinguish accurately between the two forms of bedwetting. The cause of each is fundamentally different and therefore requires a different therapy. Anyone who does not know this will moreover wonder why this phenomenon accompanying a child’s sleep is considered a sleep disturbance. In fact, it must be regarded as a real symptom of a sleep disturbance. What is meant, however, is not secondary bedwetting that occurs among children who were dry a moment before the incident and who already have mastered at around age two the complicated task of controlling their bodily functions. The cause of this form of wetting can be prompted by a withdrawal of love resulting from the arrival of a new sibling or as a protest reaction against a decisive change of surroundings such as being placed in an institution or clinic. Such trauma causes the child to regress to earlier behavioral patterns, consequently losing the already learned capability of reacting to the stimulus of a full bladder by getting up and emptying it. This form of bedwetting is doubtlessly a problem in behavioral psychology and has nothing to do with sleep disturbance.
But the problem of primary nocturnal bedwetting is another matter. Children having this disturbance sleep extremely soundly. It is impossible to awaken them, and if one attempts to place them on the pot, they simply go limp. The same thing happens when one puts them to bed. Even when they start to wake up, they are unable to use their muscles, because the muscles are too lacking in tone. If, despite everything, they have urinated and are put back to bed, on the following morning they can remember nothing about the incident. The sleep disturbance underlying this behavior consists in extended and extremely deep states of sleep. The vesical sphincter seems to relax during these periods of sleep, and the other muscles that control the emptying of the bladder contract. This usually occurs before a dream stage, because as a rule no dream experiences are reported upon awakening.
Another striking characteristic of the disorder is that evidently children with a cyclothymic personality structure are most inclined to have this form of sleep disturbance, which again shows what a close connection exists between this disposition and sleep problem. On the other hand, this correlation provides the opportunity, especially with these children, of controlling bedwetting through the use of suitable medication, as is also done in treating endogenous depressions.

A disturbance in falling back to sleep again indicates that one fell asleep without too much difficulty, is soon awake again, and can no longer sleep. This kind of sleep disturbance is very disagreeable for two reasons, because waking up suddenly is often associated with a reaction of more or less strong anxiety, and because a second attempt at falling asleep is usually more difficult than the first.
There have already been several references to the significant changes in reaction in the autonomic nervous system during the night. These changes are particularly strong during the first deep sleep phase. The depth of the deep sleep phase and the speed with which it is reached varies among individuals, and many people only reach it once in the course of a night. Some of the changes that occur are changes in the blood supply to the brain, slowing down of the rate of breathing, and the related electrolyte variations in the blood and the lowering of the blood pressure.
People having a tendency toward low blood pressure experience such sensations disagreeably upon awakening. The first deep sleep results in the significant lowering of the blood pressure, and this produces the feeling of anxiety. It begins with restlessness, tossing back and forth, the spiral patterned worsening of the attempt to force sleep, making it increasingly difficult for the organism’s own sleep mechanism to function. A cup of coffee drunk shortly before going to bed works as a paradox aid to sleep for all persons suffering from hypertension. Medications that generally improve circulation are also most helpful. The increasing nervousness and anxiety about not being able to fall back to sleep can be dealt with by various methods that facilitate relaxation and then lead to being able to fall asleep again. The first attempt in this direction is to remember that rest is of primary. The increasing nervousness and anxiety about not being able to fall back to sleep can be dealt with by various methods that facilitate relaxation and then lead to being able to fall asleep again. The first attempt in this direction is to remember that rest is of primary importance. In such instances, the precept of autogenic training, ‘sleep doesn’t matter, but rest is important,’ can bring about a psychic reversal in which the person trying to force sleep and becomes more composed.
An opposite precept (a paradox intention) of trying not to sleep but to remain awake can also help. Additional recommendations are to try to achieve the greatest degree of physical relaxation and to lie on one’s back, since lying on one side usually causes certain muscle groups to become tense. If this does not help, then a short air bath in the room should be tried. This consists in walking back and forth in the room for two or three minutes without engaging in any activity such as reading, tidying up, gymnastics, or breathing exercise. Getting back into bed and snuggling into the comfortably warm spot under the covers in the familiar sleep position may then produce quite and relaxation and possibly even sleep.

On the whole, the eyes protect themselves remarkably well. The eyelids close instinctively whenever dust particles, smoke or irritants in the atmosphere come into contact with them; the pupil contracts in bright light or glare, in order to reduce the amount of light coming through; the gentle windscreen-wiper action of blinking circulates the tears, bringing fresh oxygen to the surface of the eye and keeps the white of the eye clean and clear; the tiny lipid pores along the inner eyelid secrete the fine layer of oil that maintains the integrity of the tear film, by preventing over-fast evaporation. Heavy creams, eye liners, some mascaras and even make-up remover can all block these pores, if carelessly applied and will cause irritation if allowed to come into contact with the eye itself. Caution is the watchword.
If you habitually wake up with swollen, puffy eyes in the morning, bathe them gently with cool water or witch hazel and leave them alone. Any puffiness should subside within half an hour or so. Puffy eyes later in the day can be treated in much the same way or soothed by specially formulated eye pads.
When moisturizing the face, never put cream on to the area directly around the eye. Concentrate instead on the skin to the side and beneath the eye and even then, leave a fairly wide margin. You will find that the cream migrates naturally upwards.  

When putting eye creams or shadows on to the lid, always use the lightest possible touch. A sable brush or cotton wool bud is ideal for this. If possible, avoid using kohl or an inner lid liner (or at least make sure the point of the pencil is soft enough for the eye), keeping outside the eyelashes when defining the shape of the eye, so that the tiny lipid pores on the lid are not interfered with. 

If you wear contact lenses you should be especially careful when applying or removing make-up. Always put your lenses in before applying it and take them out before removing it, in order to avoid smudging grease or dirt on to the lens. Contact lens wearers should also avoid all cosmetics that might shed particles into the eye or stick to the surface of the lens, such as powder eye shadows, heavily ‘pearlized’ products and filamented mascaras. Try to use water-soluble eye make-up instead.

We are not all born with the potential for perfect teeth, but heredity is a popular scapegoat for bad teeth and an unhealthy mouth. Conversely good teeth and a healthy mouth can be acquired by almost anyone, provided that the battle against tooth decay and gum disease is started as early as possible, that the teeth are straightened or rearranged, if necessary, by a good orthodontist and that they are looked after with common sense and dedication. Teeth fall out or weaken for specific and preventable reasons. They do not fall out or weaken with age in fact it has been estimated that a healthy tooth will outlast its owner by some 200 years. Human beings develop two sets of teeth during their lives. The first set of baby or deciduous teeth start to form well before birth and erupts in the mouth during the first two years of life. The second set of 32 adult or permanent, teeth starts to develop at birth. These lie buried in the jaw bone beneath the baby teeth until they are fully formed at about the age of six, when they begin to push through the gum and the baby teeth fall out.     

STRUCTURE- Each tooth comprises the crown, which is the part we can see, the neck and the root or roots. It is composed of the outer enamel, which is about 98.7 per cent mineral and the hardest substance in the body, the inner dentine which is softer and more sensitive and the pulp chamber right at the center, containing blood vessels and the nerve, which supplies sensation to the tooth. This chamber extends all the way down the root canal, which anchors the tooth to the bone of the jaw. While the front teeth have only single roots, the molars right at the back of the mouth may have as many as four. The tooth is cushioned against the bone by an elastic membrane.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR TEETH- Care of the teeth starts with regular and thorough cleaning of the mouth and equally important regular dental checkups. Fluoride too is an essential part of any early preventative campaign. Taken from birth, or even, as some dentists recommend from before birth, it will strengthen the teeth as they form in the mouth, making the enamel harder and much less susceptible to the acid attack that initiates decay. Fluoride is invaluable taken up to the age of about eight or nine, after which most adult teeth are fully formed in the mouth and can no longer be strengthened from the inside. The acid responsible for producing decay is a by-product of the sucrose in refined carbohydrates and certain bacteria in the plaque growing on the teeth. Painless in the early stages decay attacks the outer edges of the enamel before spreading into the soft, sensitive dentine beneath. As all sticky, sugary things are candidates for causing decay, they should be avoided as much as possible. You will feel much better for eliminating sugar from your diet too. If you must eat it, however always brush your teeth well afterwards.

We should learn to distinguish between positive and negative stresses and establish our own optimum stress level. Experience is the best yardstick. The stress that will work for you is the one that will take you up to, but not beyond your limits. At this point, you will be performing most efficiently, will feel most stimulated and will be at your happiest and most self-confident. This is your optimum stress level. If you let stress raise much above this level, you will feel tense, agitated and unable to think or act clearly. If you let it fall much below this level, you will feel bored, unfulfilled and drained of energy and enthusiasm. If you are constantly living below your optimum stress level, fend off boredom with variety and challenge. Seek out new goals and think perhaps, of changing your job or revising certain aspects of your lifestyle so that you regain your interest and enthusiasm. If you are constantly living above your optimum stress level, modify your goals; take time off to give yourself a breathing space. Immerse your self in something quite removed from all the pressures and demands exerted upon you at work or at home. Walking, jogging, exercise, painting. Seek an outlet that is enjoyable and creative not competitive and put the pressures of life aside for a while. A certain amount of pressure can be beneficial. It channels thought and focuses the mind. But too much pressure and too many conflicting demands on your time will lead to panic, confusion and an inability to think or to act clearly. Preserve a sense of proportion in the running of your day-to- day life. If every minor setback that you encounter becomes a major crisis, you are making yourself needlessly anxious. So save your energy, and your anxiety, for real crises and emergencies and introduce a healthy sense of distance into your life. Most of the minor disasters of life have a distinctly funny side and you often do not have to search far to find the humour. Laughter is marvelous therapy and like tears, a reliever of stress in its own right. Both erupt on the moment and act as valuable distractions by interrupting the serious, often self-defeating, process of thinking and worrying.

How do you make your looks weather the weather? No one wants their make up to run when the temperature soars, their hair to look a mess when the humidity is rising or the sun to make their skin resemble a peeled chestnut. Travelling, for most people means more time in the sun or outdoors and although a bit of tan makes almost everyone look more vital and alive, more-exposure to sun is something you pay for with toughened, parched skin that will age faster and dry brittle hair.

These tips should help you plan your traveling beauty bag so that you look great wherever you are. When it’s winter at home or abroad protects skin from rain and cold. If you are a soap-and-water person switch to a milder soap, less frequent washing and consider using a cream cleanser as an alternative.

Don’t wash your face immediately before going out in the cold. It’s too drying and you risk chapping. Do it at least half an hour before and let the moisturizer sink in well. Cold reduces the elasticity of the skin and less humidity in the air makes for dryness, so you need to pay more attention to moisturization, which provides a protective barrier between the skin and the elements.

Cold weather activities like skiing, skating or a brisk walk may work up a sweat and so increase chances of skin chapping. Lips need protection; make sure the area around mouth and chin is well moisturized. Moisturizer should contain a good effective sunscreen. Sunglasses should be worn to prevent squinting in bright light, which encourages lines. Moisturizing glossy lip colors are the ones to look for and apply over a sun-proofed lip protector and waterproof mascara. In summer your metabolism is speeded up and oil glands are more active, so change your moisturizer to something light and apply a sunscreen every morning before you make up. Try a tinted sunscreen to give you a healthy glow with just mascara and lip color.

Long distance travellers often notice their nails become brittle, skin become very dry or usually greasy, hair becomes oily. Take a nail strengthener and cuticle cream with you. Be aware that the condition of your skin will change as climate changes. A cleanser or moisturizer that works in warm weather may not be rich enough in winter. You will find humidity plus air pollution in crowded cities and your skin looks dingy and your make up fades as soon as you put it on. Air pollution can cause eye irritation that gives you a puffy red-eyed look. Use a good eye drop designed to reduce redness, then lie down and apply cotton pads saturated with witch-hazel to your eyes
