		<description>Number 5 is probably one that sticks out most to me. I have a bad habit of just running on coffee and adrenaline. Sleep is the ultimate of feel good and is especially important for those who are physically active.

I would like to find a study about the relationship between rest and injuries.</description>

		<description>[...] A Muslim is responsible for the trusts that Allah (swt) has given him. When we think of trusts we often think about not losing something that a friend asked us to hold on to. Another trust, that is not frequently remembered, is work. We get paid to work and so we should do it with ihsan. We need to excel in all that we do. How can we do this?  Many ways.

		<description>Ririan,
I have been having problems trying to post a comment-sorry for the delay. I can&#039;t see the image you use for anti-spam verification, and am asking a colleague to add this comment on my behalf.

On those 2 points

1- something that helps Alzheimer&#039;s patients does not necessarily help you or me. The research needs to be user-specific, at least within reasonable limits. For example, we have a very good working memory training program for kids with ADD/ ADHD, and we know that healthy adults can expand their working memory through training, but I wouldn&#039;t recommend that to you until we have more specific data for healthy adults and the benefits it can bring.

2- the article you point to regarding the Mozart effect includes this quote &quot;The findings are intriguing,&quot; says Howard Gardner, an IQ expert at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and sceptic of the Mozart effect. &quot;It suggests stimulation in general has measurable neurochemical effects. But whether this effect is due to music, let alone Mozart, still has to be determined.&quot; This reflects more accurately what I know of the matter. You would be interested in learning more about Marian Diamond&#039;s findings on &quot;enrichment&quot;, that are simply spectacular, and more solid than Mozart music. See http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2006/10/22/marian-diamond-and-the-brain-revolution/

In any case, again, you wrote a superb article. And this is a rapidly evolving field, where we need good bridges between science and popular knowledge.
