The Sleep Secret

Welcome to Tuesday,  and your Sleep Awareness Week Tip for today

Ideal Temperature: When creating a good sleep environment, you need to make sure you minimize any discomfort. Being too cold or too hot can disrupt a comfortable sleep and once disrupted (for a person with a sleep disorder) it may be difficult to get back into a deep slumber.

Keeping the room at a constant, ideal temperature will help you get and stay asleep. While it’s debatable as to what the best temperature is, it can be agreed upon that anything about 75 degrees Fahrenheit is too warm and anything below 54 degrees, too cold.

Try a median between 60–70 degrees (65) as a compromise, but the deciding factor should be you personally and what you find to be “ideal.”  If you keep kicking the covers off or shivering yourself awake, adjust the temperature until it’s just right – and make note of what that number is for you.

Your two for Tuesday Sleep Habit tip is:

Sleep  Habit : Just Say “No” to Stimulants! You might recognize you have trouble sleeping, but don’t even think that 24-ounce Coca Cola you had at 9 PM could be the cause.

Caffeine, as well as other stimulants like electronic gadgets (video games, Television, and the Internet) can all contribute to your sleeplessness.  Avoid products like alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, and sodas during the evening hours – save them for the daytime when you’re telling your body it’s okay to be alert and awake.

That’s all for Sleep Awareness Week Tips for today

I want you to take a second and visualize closing your eyes for just a few minutes and gaining all the amazing benefits you get from a full eight hours of sleeping.

This probably perked up your curiosity huh?

You could most likely go clubbing long after the roosters crowed. Or shuffle your time between two high-paying jobs without worrying exactly how many hours of sleep you can get in approximately.

Do you understand what circadian rhythm is? Circadian rhythm is simply our internal 24-hour biological clock. Therefore, the Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders are those linked to the time of sleep within any 24-hour period. Sometimes these disorders are brought about by instances controllable by the individual like shift work or change in time zones. Some though, are because of other factors like neurological mechanisms.

One very frequent type of the Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder is the Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS). This disorder is characterized by a delay of a person’s sleeping time; insomnia or sleepiness; inability to wake up at a specific time; depression is possibly evident;especially if this has been ongoing for three months.

Since that these affected individuals are considered “owls” or “night people”, they work best and are in their best mood in the later parts of the day. Some have attempted to “remedy” themselves of this disorder and have turned to sleeping pills to induce sleep. However, people have become dependent on the pills, so some experts have suggested meditation techniques.

As a person who has suffered with bouts of insomnia, and one not liking the potential side affects of sleeping pills or drugs, we recommend all natural ways to fall asleep at night.

What are your thoughts? Are prescription drugs like Ambien safe? Please leave me a comment, I’d love to hear from you.

My good friend Mary McManus aka @gracefullady on Twitter where we met, was talking to me about how important it is for her to get sleep and rest.

Did you know she is a polio and post polio survivor, and a finisher in the Boston Marathon?

Fatigue is the number one symptom which she has to manage. She decided to keep a journal of her fatigue symptoms, ( I Highly recommend you do the same) to see if there was any correlation between the sleep and rest she was getting and the symptoms of fatigue.

Now while this may seem like a no brainer, many people do not pay attention to how they feel throughout the day. It is easy for the ‘tail to wag the dog’. People feel cranky, irritable, fatigued and so they reach for caffeine or chocolate or a quick fix never bothering to take the time to examine the root cause of feeling this way.

Mary began to notice that when she rested when her body said to stop, or took a quick power nap to refresh and when she slept well and for the number of hours she required, she did in fact have more energy throughout the day. She also noticed through keeping her journal that saying yes to a breakfast meeting and having to get up at 5:30 am even for one day, required a week of recovery time.

So she has decided to avoid early morning meetings and flights whenever possible.

She would not have this insight without keeping a journal and determining what her body needs to function at its optimal best.

Mary uses the Sleep Secret Audio to ensure that she gets a good night’s sleep and has the tools she needs to take power naps without waking up with that groggy, fuzzy, “where am I” feeling. By monitoring her fatigue levels as well as her moods, her ability to think clearly, and having the energy she needs to be her best through a ’sleep journal’, she discovered first hand how crucial it is to get a good night’s sleep and experience restorative rest.

I just came across this short, but informative article from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and wanted to share the information with you.

Did you know that regularly running short on sleep can easily make a child increase weight? Researchers found that in a look at data from the National Institutes of Health.

Julie Lumeng of the University of Michigan compared the amount of sleep kids got in the third grade with their weight in the sixth grade. Her study was in the journal Pediatrics.

“Children who were getting less sleep in the third grade were more likely to be overweight three years later in sixth grade, compared to the children who were getting more sleep.’”

Lumeng says that, for each added hour of sleep, the risk of overweight later falls about 40 percent. It’s another reason for kids to get enough sleep. And, Lumeng says, no TV in the bedroom – it makes it harder for the kid to go to sleep.

Something to think about. Your thoughts on this post?

Numerous of us may complain about not being capable to get to sleep on occasion but we may possibly not be dealing with insomnia. Insomnia is in reality a sleep dysfunction of itself which is portrayed by not being able to rest for much more than a a small amount of moments at a time. Insomniacs frequently are not able to sleep at all at night and it effects them in the course of the daytime as well. This can appear  in various  types. Transient insomnia generally last from a number of days to numerous months. Acute insomnia lasts for up to six months and is typically characterized by a lack of ability to be able to sleep well. Chronic insomnia last for many years and it can either be a disorder all of its own or it might be a symptom of an underlying dilemma.

The fact of the problem is, a lot of of individuals that think they have insomnia when they are in fact not dealing with this disorder at all. There are a lot of different sleep problems that we may be dealing with and unfortunately, it can be difficult to diagnose which one we have. For example, many of us have a difficult time sleeping because we are dealing with stressful situations for the duration of the day. It can be difficult to get our minds to stop dwelling on the stressful things whenever we lie down to go to sleep. Although this is frustrating and it certainly is a sleep disorder, it cannot be considered insomnia.

That is why it is imperative for us to understand what is causing our sleeping problems before we uncover out how to cure it. Depending on what is at the actual of the dilemma will make a big difference in what type of organic cure we attempt. Of course, it is always a good idea to try some relaxation methods, get some exercise and eat a well-balanced diet. All of these things are going to help you sleep better, regardless of whether you have insomnia or not.

If you want to cure your sleeping difficulty naturally, you should try keeping a sleep log for several weeks or perhaps even months. Recognizing the habits that are lurking behind your sleeping problems can go a long way in assisting you to detect the issue. Once you recognize what is at the root of the problem, you will no doubt be able to obtain a natural cure that will aid you to get the sleep that you have to have.

My gift to you.

The human body is governed by an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm. In each 24-hour cycle, it makes you want to sleep when it’s dark and be awake when it’s light. It causes periods of sleepiness between midnight and 6 a.m. — the  natural time for humans to sleep — then again in the midafternoon.

But as a shift worker, you have to try to sleep when your body is telling you to be awake, and be awake during those dips in your alertness level when your body is telling you to sleep. And as you get sleepier, you begin to miss things you would normally respond to, resulting in careless and even dangerous errors. Additionally, sleeping during the day can make it difficult to get the amount of sleep your body needs. Some research shows shift workers average five hours of sleep per day, at least one to one-and-a-half hours less than non-shift workers.

Regularly getting less than seven or eight hours of sleep in a 24-hour period really can lead to chronic problem sleepiness and cause irritability, crankiness and depression. It also makes it more likely that you might fall asleep while driving. And the only way to correct the problem is to get more or better sleep.

Whether you work a regular day shift, or the night shift, you can see the need for sleep.

To fall asleep, and stay asleep and get all the sleep necessary, we recommend an all natural, no drug, or pill product like the Sleep Secret Audio.

Let’s set the record straight here;

Even getting one hour less sleep per day than your body needs can impair your ability to function. And contrary to popular belief, you usually can’t tell when you’re about to fall asleep. What’s more, when it comes to staying awake behind the wheel, many common remedies just don’t work.

Turning up the volume of your radio.
Singing loudly.
Chewing gum or eating food.
Getting out of the car and running around.
Slapping yourself.
Sticking your head out the window.

The key is to learn to recognize the warning signs of drowsiness and to take corrective action.

You can’t stop yawning.
You have trouble keeping your eyes open and focused, especially at stop lights.
Your mind wanders or you have disconnected thoughts.
You can’t remember driving the last few miles.
Your driving becomes sloppy – you weave between lanes, tailgate or miss traffic signals.
You find yourself hitting the grooves or rumble strips on the side of the road.

Perhaps one of the most dangerous consequences associated with shift work is sleepiness behind the wheel. The late night and early morning drive times are the most hazardous, with the majority of crashes occurring between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. when the body naturally experiences sleepiness. This contributes to the high rate of serious injuries and fatalities for several reasons:

Crashes involving drivers who fall asleep occur more often on highways and roadways where speed limits are higher.
The driver’s eyes are closed so there is no attempt to avoid the crash.
The driver is usually alone in the vehicle so there’s no one to alert the driver to danger.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 100,000 crashes each year are the result of drowsy driving. Some studies have proven that roughly one-quarter of shift workers report having at least one crash or close call within the last year.

In fact, research shows that drivers are just as impaired when they’re sleepy as when they’ve consumed alcohol.

Bottom line, “Get Your Sleep, And PLEASE Do Not Drive When Tired!”
