MANY of us start our day with a strong cup of coffee, but not one that packs a punch like this.
Since recently hitting the shelves, the almost deadly 'Black Insomnia' beans have been found to contain double the caffeine of Starbucks dark roast.
More worrying is that the drink is now being served in NZ.
Side effects of Black Insomnia include a cocktail of effects like heart palpitations, jitteriness, nervousness, restlessness, insomnia and, most seriously, cardiac arrhythmia.
The Caffeine Informer website has black-listed Black Insomnia as one of the 'Most Dangerous Caffeinated Products.'
SNORing victims unite - a new tablet-sized electronic gadget in the chin could be the answer to tackling that annoying habit.
The device goes into the chin so that tiny electrodes inside it touch the nerve and muscle that move the tongue.
The tongue is thereby prevented from dropping back over the airway which can contribute to sleep apnoea, a more significant problem with overweight people who snore more with increased pressure on the airway.
The signals prevent airway blockage during sleep.
An international trial of the device will start in May.
