Why use drugs to stay awake when you can use light?

Its exam time, and lots of students will be desperate to extend their hours of wakefulness so they can fit as much study in as possible (or soon will be) and many of them will turn to drugs such as caffeine to keep them awake and alert for longer, however, putting chemicals into your brain is a BAD thing, especially things that speed up the brains processing speeds too much as the neurons begin to misfire and signals don't go where they're supposed to.

But there is a much better way to stay awake, and that, is white light, no chemicals, some people would argue no particles at all! (but then we get into photons vs waves, packets verses continuous energy blah blah) and what causes this wakefulness? our old friend the pineal gland.

The pineal gland secretes melatonin, and as few people know, melatonin fights cancer, but a more known fact, is that melatonin controls the sleep wake cycles of the body,

Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours, so the best time to fight cancer is when you're sleeping, huh, being awake CAN increase your risk of cancer, so there's a down side, but you'll sleep and the risks will level out after exam times.

The reason why melatonin levels alter throughout the day is due to the amount of light, as light affects melatonin production, during shorter, darker days, the body will produce more melatonin and its levels will increase earlier in the day than usual, this change CAN lead to symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression, so by staying up longer with this light you reduce your risk of that.

This is due to the darker days and longer night time periods we experience in the winter months, (ever noticed you feel more tired or gloomy on a grim wet day? its not JUST because of the weather, or it is, because the clouds are stopping the sun light)

So, if melatonin increases you become sleepy, this happens at night, so the converse must be true for during the day, melatonin decreases, you feel more awake, when the sun is out, so the best way to feel more awake? Have a very white light in your room.

It is worth noting (but not going into) that different wavelengths have different effects on wakefulness, red light, for example, promotes melatonin production, making you feel more sleepy, white light is the best, but certain wavelengths will have increased/decreased effects

providing you sleep and get SOME REM sleep, your brain will process the information still :)

more interesting than revision xD

Okay, listen, aliens in the white house? no

There's been a lot of talk about the potential Mick Romney (or whatever he's called, i shall refer to him as devil number 2, because you are voting for one of 2 evils, and Obama is currently in house ) running for the United States presidency, is potentially an alien because; he was born in 1947, and the reported crash in Roswell was in 1947, Also, people are saying that because Roswell is in new Mexico, and DN2 father is from Mexico, this means that he came down in the crash and finally, his supposed beliefs that god lives on another planet.

I will start by addressing the points in the rumor before debunking the theory with the true facts (don't worry, for those who are, more wordly educated, who aren't sheep basically, this is not a "yey government rule" post, don't lose interest just yet)

firstly, the date, is pure coincidence millions of people were born in  that year, all over the world, it stands to reason that statistically, one of those millions would at some point run for president.

Secondly, the new mexico, mexico connection, is purely looking for things that COULD be there and jumping to conclusions, there is no social, or physical, direct link between these two areas, if an alien wished to invade and take the country, it wouldn't need to risk having a foreign relative as a father to potentially come under scrutiny,  this is just the way devil no. 2s' life panned out for him and he ended up in this power, because of his blood line, his education, his connections, who knows, well, he does, but the questions are avoided

Finally, devil number 2 openly discusses a "god" being on another planet, but this is not a new religious belief, there were people for years who believed the devil watched from below us and god was physically above us observing and waiting for us, and there are videos of all the, alive, old presidents (bar obama) standing in red robes, in front of a great stone owl, towards a flaming pit. This is derived from satanism, so if they believe in the devil below, it makes sense for them to believe in the god above, but maybe they see that someone actually within/on the earth has greater influence than someone above with no means of direct contact?

Now, for my own evidence, all the major governing corporations and banks,are only after one thing, and that, is power,the question is, would the governments really willingly give up control to another being they don't have anything in common with other than desire for power? All the major political members/bankers in the world are all from inbred families, while not to say they're not all related (there's evidence on this, but not compelling) but they're from the sort of families that marry each other to cousins, distant relatives, hell, even close family, to keep the money, power, and more importantly, gold, in the family, they would not happily give up the rights to own the people unless there was something beneficial in their doing so, I hardly think they'd trust a being that had the technology to visit our planet, and then theres the sacred DNA structures they want to keep present, but again, evidence is not fully compelling on this. 

As we know the government are liars and corrupt, they will do anything to keep us off the trail of what they truly do, and as more and more people (i believe the term is "waking up") are waking up, they need to find a way to distract those that are looking for the conspiracy, we have to question everything, and do our own research, this is why you can't base everything you know off one source, like a lot of people do, you have to look past potential lies that are their to throw us off the trail, this is a prime "leaked" story to distract us from the real corruption, the people we fight against have been in power for years, they're very clever.
