The Health Benefits of Different Sleeping Positions

We always hear about how many hours we need to sleep, that a sleep cycle is 1.5 hours and to time our sleep accordingly - But did you know that your sleeping position can directly help you deal with various pains and irritations? 
First, let’s have a look at the average human’s biological clock so we know when our sleep is most effective:

Would YOU dare to walk along these? The most TERRIFYING bridges on earth revealed

  • If you are afraid of heights you may wish to steer clear of Aiguille Du Midi in the Alps with its 9,200 ft drop
  • This bridge at least is sturdier than the rickety Hussaini bridge in Pakistan, constructed from tiny bits of wood
  • Here are MailOnline Travel's selection of vertigo-inducing bridges that could scare even the bravest of travellers  

If you are afraid of heights you will probably want to look away now.
Here are some of the most precarious or just plain scary bridges that face brave adventurers around the world.
Those who suffer from vertigo may want to steer clear of the Millau Viaduct in France, which is the tallest bridge in the world. It has one mast that's a dizzying 1,125 feet above the ground.
One of the most harrowing suspension structures in the world is the Hussaini Hanging Bridge in Pakistan which features large, nail-biting gaps between tiny planks of wood.
It is not the only bridge that could scare even the calmest of explorers. Every year the local villagers in the Andes near Huinchiri, Peru reconstruct their grass-made Q'eswachaka Rope Bridges which tourists can pay a small fee to cross, before it disintegrates.
Fears were realised last week, meanwhile, when a glass-bottomed walkway on the Yuntai Mountain, Henan Province in China, shattered under foot, leaving tourists unharmed but screaming and the bridge closed for repairs.

Stomach-jolting: You have to have nerves of steel to risk death or serious injury when you take on one of the world's most dangerous trails - Mount Hua in China. It features stomach-churning drops, vertical ascents, steep staircases and narrow walkways, with only a small chain to cling onto

Completed in 2004, the Langkawi Sky Bridge is built on top of the Machinchang mountain in Malaysia and hangs at about 328 ft above the ground. The walkway can accommodate up to 250 people at the same time and swings out over the landscape to give visitors a unique look at the landscape

While it may look like one of the more secure bridges in the collection, the Millau Viaduct in France is so high it is often above the clouds. In fact at its highest point, the bridge is taller than the Eiffel Tower

Originally the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge in Northern Ireland only had one handrail. Thankfully today there are more robust safety features in place, but it is still a scary experience for those who gaze down on the rocks below
