The Amazing Message behind Sleep Quotes

“If people were meant to pop out of bed, we’d all sleep in toasters.” – Author unknown, (attributed to Jim Davis). Sleep quotes may be funny but some have powerful messages. You ought to get a consistent eight hours of sleep each day, should you lose an hour or more it will affect you physically and mentally.

A net loss of rest over several days will take a heavy toll on you. You are able to usually know if people don’t get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation symptoms are big signs that you should get a change in lifestyle. Listed here are some of the signals to watch out for.

Feeling tired all day is the first problem, you will end up yawning and slumping. If you workout in the gym, you will probably feel too drained to do or lift anything. As your brain won’t be as sharp, memory and concentration problems are frequent.

For a quick solution, try taking a 40-minute power-nap on your lunch break and another 15 minutes on your next break. A whole lot of coffee may also wake you up.

Irritability is another of the common sleep deprivation symptoms. You’ll be more sensitive and emotionally unbalanced. Add workplace stress into the formula and you’re a walking time bomb. Avoid personal interaction should you be feeling cranky. If an email message angers you, wait a short while to relax before replying to it.

Your appetite is going to be influenced, too. Either you’ll eat less or eat more. When you’re the type to eat less buy a protein-rich power bar. People who react with an increased appetite may find their weight increasing, which isn’t nice. So try to stock up on healthy and high fiber foods.

It’s natural to feel groggy after getting out of bed. A proper breakfast high in protein and a multivitamin gives you energy for the rest of the day..

If you find yourself tossing and turning in bed, determine if your bed is broken or if the pillows are too hard or too soft. The softness levels must be just right. Be sure your room has soft lighting and steer clear of the TV or video games because they will only get your mind active. Instead do something relaxing instead, such as reading.

Read a book with just the sufficient amount of light to take care of your eyes. Irrespective of whether it’s a light-hearted sleep quotes or funny comic books – read something that would relax your brain and not have you thinking. Even more importantly, sleep for eight hours a day consistently. If these pointers fail and the problems referred to here continue, you ought to see your doctor.

Keywest Technology Releases 4-Channel Signage Player That Connects to Cloud Services




4-Channel Digital Signage Media Player


Keywest Technology has launched another multi-head digital signage player using an Intel® Core™ i7 CPU running on an Ubuntu® open source software platform. The 4-channel signage player supports up to four 1080P channels, which provides a dynamic, high-res presentation for menu systems or video walls. The player is controlled via the company’s cloud-based digital signage service called Breeze Digital Signage℠.

Just before the summer concert season, Keywest Technology contracted AVIES TECH to install the Breeze 4-channel system at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Breeze system lights up club-level digital menu boards at eight concessions stands using 42 Philips thin-bezel displays.

Lisa Ramsour, Project Manager at Keywest Technology, commented that the 4-channel Breeze players performed like “rock stars” during a Rolling Stones concert held at the 80,000-seat venue in June. “One menu item needed to be changed instantly because a food vendor sent crispy chicken rather than grilled. One phone call to Keywest Creative and the new menus were updated instantly. The service staff and management were delighted!”

Working in conjunction with Breeze Digital Signage, Keywest Technology offers network-managed services through Keywest Creative that provide restaurant owners and venue managers all of the benefits of digital menu boards without any of the worry that comes from technical snafus and creative management.

“The Breeze 4-channel signage player expands Keywest Technology’s capabilities in network-managed services,” said Nick Nichols, Keywest Technology’s President. “With Breeze, we’re not just offering the nuts and bolts of digital signage, but full-on network management that delivers expert results at a reasonable price. The 4-channel Breeze system extends our ability to create and manage robust menu systems or video walls offsite, which not only offers greater utility to clients but also offers far-reaching service value.”

Although network-managed services is an integral part of the Breeze Digital Signage value proposition, restaurant and venue managers may login to Breeze using the ubiquitous web browser to control the 4-channel signage player. Browser access gives managers advanced digital signage management tools like a template builder, nested playlists, an advertising module, an admin approval queue and handy widgets that add useful features such as weather or data integration. Also, Breeze can also be accessed and controlled via a smartphone. This essentially gives it “pocket control” for those that want to manage the system themselves while on the go, or at least make last-minute changes if a standard browser is not available.

The Breeze 4-channel signage player commenced shipping this spring, and it’s available from authorized AV system and architectural integrators throughout North America. Interested parties and resellers are encouraged to visit the Breeze Digital Signage website for more information: http://www.breezedigitalsignage.com/
