The Sleep Secret

Greetings,

You have probably been hearing that you need to watch your diet and get some exercise for the better part of your life.  The fact of the matter is, this can do more than to help us to stay fit and trim.  If we are dealing with sleeping problems and insomnia, a proper diet and some exercise can go a long way in helping us to get a good nights sleep.  How is this the case?

If we are eating a balanced diet, our bodies are going to be in balanced as a result.  Almost everything that goes wrong with us can be traced back to an imbalance in our body of some sort or another.  Making sure that we are not overloading our body with things that it should not contain, such as sugar and stimulants is going to go along way in allowing us to relax and get a good nights sleep.  As a matter of fact, sugar is often at the root of sleeping problems that we are experiencing in some way or another.  Get rid of this poison from your house and see how much better you will feel as a result.

Getting exercise can also help you to sleep because it is going to put your body into a relaxed state.  Although it may not feel relaxed during the time that you are exercising, it has many different effects on your body that will cause it to feel that way after it is over.  For example, exercise releases serotonin into our system which helps us to feel good naturally.  If we are having a difficult time sleeping because we are stressing out, the additional serotonin may be able to help to balance the situation out.

Of course, getting the right amount of exercise and eating a proper diet is also going to help our body to be tone and fit.  A lot of us are having problems with our sleep because we are overweight or just out of shape in general.  Being in shape will not only help us to feel good about ourselves, it will help to improve the quality and quantity of sleep that we are receiving.  It may take a little bit of time for you to accomplish this but believe it or not, diet and exercise can do wonders for anybody that is suffering from insomnia.

Greetings,

I came across the transcript of this interesting podcast about sleep, sleep disorders and insomnia, and wanted to share this valuable information.

Enjoy!

Seventy million Americans are affected by sleeping loss and sleeping disorders. Sleeplessness can lead to accidents, injuries, depression, and an inability to handle work responsibilities. Dr. Lela McKnight-Eily discusses sleeping loss and sleeping disorders and their negative effects on health, including diabetes, obesity, depression, and anxiety.

A CUP OF HEALTH WITH CDC
No Rest for the Weary
Prevalence of Perceived or Insufficient Rest or Sleep by Days in the Past Month
Among U.S. Adults in Four States — BRFSS, 2006
March 6, 2008

[Announcer] This podcast is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC — safer,
healthier people.

[Ana Benson] Welcome to A Cup of Health with CDC, a weekly feature of the MMWR,
the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. I’m Ana Benson, your host for this week.
Are you having problems sleeping at night? Rest assured you’re not alone. Seventy
million Americans — myself included — are walking the floor or staring at the ceiling
right along with you. Lack of sleep is a silent epidemic that can lead to other problems
besides just dozing off during a business meeting. Sleeplessness can lead to accidents,
injuries, depression, and an inability to handle work responsibilities.
Dr. Lela McKnight-Eily is a researcher with CDC’s National Center on Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion. Dr. McKnight-Eily is joining us today to discuss ways
we can get a better night’s sleep. Welcome to the show, Dr. McKnight-Eily.

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Thank you, Ana.

[Ana Benson] How did CDC come to recognize lack of rest or sleep as a serious public
health concern?

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] CDC has long recognized the importance of sleep on overall health
and its relationship to both chronic diseases and sleep-related accidents. The
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the National Health Interview Survey
both contain sleep-related questions.

[Ana Benson] So then what’s the difference between an occasional bad night’s sleep
and a more serious sleep disorder?

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Ana, anyone can have an occasional bad night’s sleep. A sleep
disorder tends to be characterized by a cluster of signs and symptoms that occur, such
as difficulty sleeping or waking, sleep disorder breathing, or abnormal movements of the
body.

[Ana Benson] Then tell us about the negative effects on health caused by a lack of rest
or sleep.

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Sure. Sleeping loss and sleeping disorders are associated with
several physical and mental health problems, including diabetes, obesity, depression,
and anxiety.

[Ana Benson] What causes sleeping problems?

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Well, there’s several causes of sleeping problems, including
occupational factors such as extended work hours or shift work; lifestyle factors, such
as using the Internet or TV; and also actual sleeping disorders, such as insomnia.

[Ana Benson] Well then, can you recommend some steps that a person can take to
overcome this problem?

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Sure. First of all, just following the recommended sleep guidelines
for adults — sleeping an average of seven to nine hours per night. Second, maintaining
a regular sleep schedule or time to go to sleep and to wake. Third, avoiding caffeine,
nicotine, or alcohol several hours before going to sleep. And fourth, seeing a doctor if
there are concerns about chronic sleep loss. There are both effective behavioral and
medical interventions for persons with sleeping disorders.

[Ana Benson] Great tips. Where can our listeners go to get more information about
sleep disorders?

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] www.cdc.gov/sleep.

[Ana Benson] Thank you, Dr. McKnight-Eily, for sharing this valuable information with
our listeners today.

[Dr. McKnight-Eily] Thank you.

[Ana Benson] OK everyone. That’s it for this week’s show. Be sure to join us next week.
Until then, sweet dreams and be well. This is Ana Benson for A Cup of Health with
CDC.

No, “What Does A Giant Squidoo And Sleep Have In Common” is not the latest knock-knock joke, but hey, that’s a pretty cool idea.

What I am referring to is the super cool “Squidoo Lens” that my friend Kate made after interviewing myself;  Trapper Sherwood and
Claus D. Jensen on her blog talk radio show; “Moon, Moo & You; The Collective Wisdom”

I have to tell you, this was one fun show!

This was also the first time I had been interviewed about the Sleep Secret Audio that was recently completed. Claus D. Jensen, if you do not know already, is the brilliant composer to the music in those audio. His recordings are Simply beautiful.

Anyways, we chatted for an hour, discussing sleep, insomnia, even sleep deprivation issues and dang if that hour didn’t go by quickly!

The coolest thing is that before the interview, Claus & I had never spoken, all our collaboration had been done by email and in a forum. So hearing him live, and telling his tale of inspiration for the project was pretty cool.

I could go on & on about the show, but please visit Kate’s Squidoo lens at: http://www.squidoo.com/trapperclausmoonmooyou

While there is variability between each of us in how much sleep we need, the National Sleep Foundation has noted that the need for sleep changes as we age. The National Sleep Foundation has recommended the following sleep guidelines for selected age groups (*including naps):

Greetings,

April 15th is close upon us.

It is that time of the year when we hear the old saying “Only two things are sure in our lives; Death and Taxes.)

Death and Taxes, for sure those two things seem to be certain.

Well, I can’t help you out with the death part, (that’s a little bit out of my control).

Taxes, not so much either. You will have to pay your taxes, sorry.

But if your taxes or even worrying about death is causing you to lose sleep, then I can help.

One of the things we discussed in an earlier blog post was to relax your mind, then fall asleep.

But as some folks have ask me, how do you really do that? Because they say, when they go to relax, their mind races in a big circle.

This has happened to you too, hasn’t it?

It goes something like this……

You lay down, and to relax your mind you start thinking of , lets say baseball. So you are laying there, thinking of your favorite team. Yeah, you start to smile, you love watching your favorite team. You can feel yourself relaxing a little bit. Your mind is drifting away from the taxes you haven’t finished yet, or the amount of money you owe. As you continue to think of your team, your mind starts wondering about how much they get paid. Now your mind is focusing on how much these ball players get paid. You feel your body tense a little.

“Why do these guys get paid so much for playing a game?” You can hear your mind say. Hmmmmmmmmm, you start thinking, how much do they owe or pay in taxes????

And there you are, the circle remains unbroken and your mind has return to what you were trying to relax from, your taxes.

It is a vicious circle isn’t it?

What can be done about it?

Would you like to lay down at night and fall asleep in about seven minutes?

What if I could show you a way to assist you in falling asleep, would you be interested? Would you like to remove sleep loss, insomnia, or sleep deprivation from your life?

Our “Press Play, Then Sleep” audio’s do exactly that. If you can lie down, put on some headphones, or just listen to our audio’s through your speakers, you too can relax your mind so you can fall into a deep, peaceful sleep. It’s brand new and a fresh approach for intelligent people to fall asleep to.

That is what you are looking for isn’t it?

Please visit http://www.sleepsecretaudio.com right now, our audio’s are available for immediate download.

Invest in a good night’s sleep, because it will be a 100% benefit to you.

Sincerely,

Thomas “Trapper” Sherwood

Greetings,

Here are three quick tips that can help you start sleeping better tonight.

If you are having a difficult time falling asleep, the last thing that you want to do is to reach for a pharmaceutical cure.  Although some of these pills will help you to fall asleep, they really are only inducing a fake sleep that will not necessarily help to cure the problem.  They may make you unconscious but what you are really getting can hardly be called sleep by any stretch of the imagination.  If you would like to cure your insomnia from the root of the problem, here are three natural cures that you can use which tend to help.

The first cure is blocking any extra sound or light that is coming into the room in which you are sleeping.  These are the two problems that cause a lack of sleep in many individuals.  Things such as outside noise in the home, a TV that is playing in our bedroom or even somebody that is snoring can make a big difference in how you’re going to sleep.  Light also tends to keep us awake and if there is light in our bedroom, we are never going to be able to achieve that deep level of sleep that we need in order to feel rested and rejuvenated.

The second thing that you can do is to prepare your mind and body for a good night’s sleep.  Try to avoid any type of heavy eating or stimulant drinks, such as caffeine within several hours of going to sleep.  You should also avoid watching any television shows or movies that will stimulate your thinking to a level that may keep you up at night.  About an hour before it is time to go to sleep, take the time to relax your mind with some soft music and perhaps some poetry.  Take a nice bath and do some deep breathing exercises.  You would probably be surprised with how much this will help you sleep at night.

Finally, you may try some good old fashion warm milk if you are having a difficult time sleeping.  Warm milk has tryptophan which can help the body to produce serotonin naturally.  This particular hormone helps you to feel good and may help to alleviate any stress that is keeping you up at night.  Not only that, it may also help in producing the hormone melatonin naturally which is one of the body’s strongest ways of putting us to sleep.

Sincerely,

Thomas “Trapper” Sherwood
