Hammock enjoyment explained

It's not just small children who like to be rocked to sleep - even adults fall asleep faster and sleep better if rocked gently when they sleep.

The conclusion drawn by researchers at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, which had 10 men taking a nap in one of their labs.

Half of the men had beds that easily swayed, half received regular beds.

Those who were rocking fell asleep about 30 percent faster, and was longer in the deepest sleep stage, according to the study.

Scientists believe that rocking may help to synchronize signals between a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, and cortex.

Shaquille O’Neal announces retirement from the NBA: Fan reaction

After 19 exciting years in the NBA, former Los Angeles Laker and current Boston Celtic big manShaquille O'Neal(notes) has decided to hang up his sneakers. On June 1, Shaq announced his retirement via Twitter, telling his fans/followers that he wanted them to hear it directly from him first. Despite the bumpy road full of detours that Shaq has gone down since he first entered the league in 1992, he has my utmost respect for all of the historic moments and gut-wrenching games that he was a part of.

Drafted with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, Shaq immediately became a dominant force in the paint. Standing at 7'1'' and weighing over 300 pounds, Shaq could never be taken lightly. Despite his early impact for the Magic, it was nothing compared to the shockwaves that he would end up sending through the Lakers' organization after signing with them as a free agent in 1996.
