(EndPlay Staff Reports) – A sleepy wife can lead to marital woes, a new study reports.

A wifes inability to sleep affected her and her husbands marital interactions the following day, according to an ongoing study lead by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

TIME reported that the longer it took women to fall asleep the more likely both partners were to report negative interactions with their spouse the next day. This included feeling ignored or criticized.

Men, however, were not affected by a lack of sleep. The researchers found no relationship between a mans lack of sleep and the couples interactions the following day.

The study was presented Monday at Sleep 2011, the 25th anniversary meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis.

Researchers had 35 healthy, married couples wear actigraphs – bracelets that measured the time it took each of them to fall asleep after going to bed. The devices also tracked the total time each person slept over 10 days.

In addition, the couples kept a diary of positive and negative interactions with their spouses. Science Daily reported that the average age of the participants was 32.

These results highlight the importance of considering the interpersonal consequences of sleep and sleep loss, said Wendy Troxel, lead author and assistant professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, according to ABCNews .

Worry can play a major role in tossing and turning at night.

Emotions could cause women to toss and turn in bed as they worry about work, marriage and motherhood, Susan Heitler, a Denver marriage counselor and co-founder of poweroftwomarriage.com , told ABCNews. That kind of lying in bed with an overloaded mind may be characteristic of women in society right now, particularly women with children and a full-time job.

Troxels previous studies found that the stable presence of a husband or cohabiting partner predicted better sleep quality and continuity in women, and that happily married women reported fewer sleep disturbances, according to Science Daily.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 02, 2011 ) Boca Raton, FL — Most Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEMs face challenges when attempting to manage components crucial for a successful production process. Falcon Metal is focused on providing Inventory Management Solutions for Class C production components that increase productivity, lower risk, and reduce Total Procurement Cost (TPC).

This is achieved through cost-effective managed inventory programs, including Bin Management, Bin Stocking, Inventory Control Management Services, Supply Chain Management Services, Lean Initiatives, and Third Party Logistic Services. Falcon Metals solutions include both Vendor Managed Inventory (known as VMI) amp; Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) programs. Falcon Metals staff has experience with a wide variety of OEM industries.

What are Class C production components? These are the items that are the reverse of the 80/20 rulethe large number of low value items that are required to produce the end product. Studies have shown that production downtime is primarily due to lack of an inexpensive component.

All costs, whether sourcing, paperwork, storage space cost, or taxes and insurance should be considered to ensure the cost effective decisions is being made. Direct acquisition cost (price) is the most visible element of OEM purchasing cost. Too often it is the only consideration. There are a number of other elements of TPC which can have a major impact on product acquisition including all the activities required to insure production plans are achieved.

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, added, Falcon Metal Corporation is certainly responding to a major need in most industries today. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program.
