Why sleeping alone ‘is good for babies’: Study finds children who share bed with their parents were more likely to suffer disrupted nights.

Researchers say longer baby shares the more troubled sleep it will have
Breastfeeding related to frequent awakenings at six months but not later
Study used 56,000 reports from mothers who recorded their child's sleep


Bringing a crying baby into the marital bed in the hope of getting a good night’s sleep is a strategy for failure, said experts yesterday.
They found that the longer an 18-month-old had bed-shared with its parents, the more likely it would be to suffer troubled and shortened sleep. 

Researchers said around 56,000 reports by mothers of child sleep were used in the study, taking data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study.
Researchers said that a total of 55,831 mother reports of child sleep were used in the study to estimate the stability and predictors of awakenings and short sleep.

They found that babies that have a higher chance of having troubled and shortened sleep at 18-months-old, the longer they had bed-shared with their parents in the past.
Dr Hysing said: 'The longer the child shared a bed with their parents, the greater the chance was of short sleep duration and frequent awakenings at 18 months of age.
'Breastfeeding was related to frequent awakenings at six months age, but not associated with sleeping problems later.'

In the study, the definition of bed sharing were children who slept more than half the night alongside their parents.

The project was a collaboration between researchers from the University of Bergen, which is a specialised research university, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

The data researchers analysed came from the unique Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa), conducted at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
The study was published in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t

The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests.' In one of 60 events planned around the world women gathered in Manhattan with placards and banners - and without their tops. Scroll down for video The green colored states are those where top freedom is in effect. The orange colored ones have amibiguous state laws on the matter. The red colored ones are the ones where the mere showing of the female breast in public is illegal according to state law. Though the majority of states are top free, some cities in those states have passed (unconstitutional) ordinances that annul the state's top free statute. The following cities are officially topless "tested&q
