<TOPIC1>.Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a group technique for generating new, useful ideas and promoting creative thinking.

It can be used to help 1) define what project or problem to work on, 2) to diagnose problems , 3) remediate a project by coming up with possible solutions and to identify possible resistance to proposed solutions.




Ground Rules for Brainstorming

1. All ideas are welcome. There are no wrong answers. During brainstorming, no judgments should be made of ideas.

2. Be creative in contributions. Change involves risk taking, it's important to be open to new, original ideas. Every point of view is valuable.

3. Attempt to contribute a high quantity of ideas is a short amount of time.

4. Participants should "hitch hike" on others' ideas.




Steps for the Leader on How to Brainstorm

1.Introduce the Session.

Review the reason for the brainstorming session, discuss the ground rules, and the team member procedure to be used.




2.Warm-Up.

Provide a warm up activity (5 to 10 minutes) that helps the group get use to the excitement possible in a brainstorming session. This activity should be on a neutral subject that will encourage participants to be creative. The leader may want to end the warm up by having the members discuss what could be said about the ideas that would prevent brainstorming from being successful.




3.Brainstorming.

This is the creative part!




4.Process the Ideas.

Review ideas for clarification, making sure everyone understands each item. Similar ideas should be combined and grouped. At this point you can eliminate duplicate ideas and remove ideas. Next the group should agree on the criteria for eval‎uation. This could include: time allotments, talents and skills of the group, and more.




5.Establish a consensus if appropriate.

Have the group vote on ten ideas to consider, then have the group vote on five of the ideas and tally the results to get a priority of feelings of the group.

After refining ideas give each team member 100 points to allocate on the idea list. Team members can use their points however they wish.

Have team members pick the five ideas they favor. Then ideas with the most picks can be prioritized.

Stay Thin by Sleeping More?



CHICAGO (Reuters) - A study published on Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it's time find if more sleep will fight obesity.



"We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep," said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University.



"In fact society emphasizes just the opposite," in work places where billed hours are crucial and long work days are common, he added.



Monday's study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index -- a measure of weight based on height -- increased.



Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and obese patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights.



"Americans experience insufficient sleep and corpulent bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of obesity on patients," the study said.



AN EXTRA 20 MINUTES



"Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index," it added.



"We caution that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and obesity (but) investigations demonstrating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to establish such a relationship."



The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research.



In an interview with Reuters, Turek said some studies have shown sleep deprivation causes declines in an appetite suppressing protein hormone called leptin, and increases in another hormone that causes a craving for food. In addition neuropeptides in the brain governing sleep and obesity appear to overlap, he said.



"It is now critical to determine the importance of lack of sufficient sleep during the early formative years in putting our youth on a trajectory toward obesity ... a trajectory that could be altered if sleep loss is indeed playing a role in this epidemic," the editorial said.



Obesity has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health problems.



"In recent years, a new and unexpected 'obesity villain' has emerged, first from laboratory studies and now ... in population-based studies: insufficient sleep," it said.



"However, while there is a growing awareness among some sleep, metabolic, cardiovascular, and diabetes researchers that insufficient sleep could be leading to a cascade of disorders, few in the general medicine profession or in the lay public have yet made the connection," it added.



<Question>



1. How many hours do you sleep a day? (Incl. naps)

And do you think, it`s sufficient for you?



2. Do you agree with ``Sleeping more staying thinner``?



3. What do you do if you`re awake during the night?



4. Have you ever felt hungry in the middle of the night?

If you so, are you likely to eat something or just try to forget it?



5. According to the article the obesity has been rising dramatically in developed countries. What do you think the reasons are? Might it be related to the fact that they sleep less?
