 Tempe AZ (SPX) Jan 14, 2020 
If you jump out of bed too quickly, you might feel a bit light-headed.
That's because when you're lying down, gravity causes your blood to pool in the lower parts of your body rather than in your brain. Fortunately, when you stand up, within a fraction of a second, your heart begins beating faster, moving the blood to your brain and allowing you to maintain your balance.
The opposite ... more |
