Many of us make the adjustment for day light savings on Saturday night, two times a year, before going to bed – so we’re on time when we awake Sunday morning. Over the years, the changing of the clocks ritual across the country has resulted in friendly reminders to change the batteries in your home smoke detectors and changing the air filters in your home’s heating and cooling system. These advisories have proven to be potentially both life saving and cost saving reminders for all of us. 2007 marked one of the most significant changes to DST in a long time. From 1986 to 2006 DST was from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. In 2007 the dates changed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to DST.		This spring-forward fall-back practice was first proposed in 1907 and saw its most widespread use in 1916 as a wartime measure aimed at conserving coal. Despite controversy, many countries continue the time-change practice to this day. Here in the U.S., adding daylight to afternoons generally benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that get to enjoy a little more sunlight after the traditional work day. That extra afternoon daylight appears to cut traffic accidents and deaths, but the effect on health and crime is less obvious. There have long been claims that DST saves electricity by reducing your need on summer evenings to turn-on the lights. However another school of thought suggests it can actually boost peak electricity demand – thereby increasing electricity costs.

Now that you know a little more about DST, how does it affect your sleep.

For me personally, I don’t like when we change the clocks back & forth. I always find that it does mess with my sleep.

For others, they have told me the same thing, and still others have said they do not feel a difference.

How about you?

Do you experience sleep loss? Sleep deprivation? Insomnia?

Let’s do an informal poll, post a comment, and we will tally the scores up. I look forward to what all of my faithful readers have to say on this.

Sleep well.

The http://www.sleepsecretaudio.com is my Dad’s newest product. It really does work, cause I listened to it for about 5 minutes & I was asleep. But I’m mad at him, so I uploaded this rough draft of a video he was making. He didn’t want it uploaded because of all the mistakes, but that will teach him to take my phone away.

Hope I can run faster than him when he finds out what I did!

Love,

1. Don’t count sheep; count your blessings. Itemize on a sheet of paper all the good things there are in your life. If you are so down in the dumps that you can’t think of any, begin by thinking of a neighbor with whom you wouldn’t trade places. For instance, Mrs. R., who is well-to-do, but whose child is not normal. Or Mr. Z., who has a nagging wife. Or Mrs. Y., whose husband drinks. Then put down as a blessing, “My child is normal and healthy,” or “I have an understanding wife,” or “My husband doesn’t drink.”

2. Set aside definite periods for discussions of finances. Give yourself all the time you need to consider a given problem adequately, but do not allow yourself to think about money at any other time. When you catch yourself thinking negatively about money, force yourself to think about how
well-off you are, by repeating your list of assets. Do this faith­fully; it is bound to make you feel better.

3. Learn the ABC Round Robin. Use it to make yourself relax whenever you have a few spare minutes during the day. If you are optimistic and relaxed during the day, you will automatically sleep better at night.

4. Learn the Sleep Exercise and use it after the Robin at night to put yourself to sleep. Just as you are about to drop off to sleep, repeat some of your blessings. You will be amazed at how much happier you will be when you wake up.

5. Remember: Although poverty is unpleasant, and al­though no normal person wants to be poor, you must think constructively, instead of bemoaning your poverty. Cultivate an optimistic frame of mind and you have gone a long way toward improving your condition.

Not sure what the ABC Round Robin, or the Sleep Exercise is, discover what they are with either

Download our new mp3 audio, listen through your headphones or earphones, and let our soothing original music and instructions guide you to clearing your insomnia, sleep loss, and sleep deprivation and just enjoy a great night’s sleep.

To your health and a good night’s sleep,

If you are the type of person that feels that they must have the television set on in order to go to sleep, you might be surprised to learn that it may actually be robbing you of deep sleep.  It is during these phases of deep sleep that our bodies rejuvenate themselves and our minds are able to sort the information that it has picked up during the day.  The reason why it does this is because it adds noise in the room, something that is not conducive to getting a good night sleep.  It may also be disrupting our sleep patterns as a result of the light that the television set gives off.  This can cause us to have insomnia like symptoms that we may not recognize are coming from this electronic device.

Some of us turn the television on at night in order to drown out other noise that may be going on in the home.  If this is the case for you, you are simply creating a noisy environment that is close to you when you are sleeping.  It is a much better idea for you to get an air filter or perhaps run a fan in order to create some white noise.  This will help to drown out the other noises that are in the house while still allowing you to sleep properly.

If you absolutely must have the television set on in order to go to sleep, make sure that you use the sleep function.  This is a timer that is built into most television sets which automatically shuts it off after a set period of time.  If you do this, you may be able to use the TV to help you fall asleep and then maintain your sleep because the television set will not be waking you up.

If you are having trouble falling asleep at night,  we recommend “The Sleep Secret”

This Free eBook will get you to the cause of your loss of sleep, and will help you clear the insomnia that has taken over your life.

After reading “The Sleep Secret”, you won’t have to keep your tv on at night.

Works for 3rd shifters too.

Did I mention it is an all natural way to get a better night’s sleep without the use of pills or drugs?
