The Sleep Secret

TGIF!!!!! Thank God It’s Friday!

Although we are all pretty thankful that Friday is here, and the work week is over, (for most folks), remember; sleep loss, and insomnia never take a day off. Oops, I guess that should be “Sleep loss and insomnia never take a night off.”

Anyways, I hope that these sleep tips that we have given out during Sleep Awareness Week have helped you out.

Here are today’s tips:

No Lights: Remember that a dark bedroom can help your body “know” it’s time for rest. Light triggers a lot in us and is associated with our waking hours. To help the body adjust to a regular sleep cycle, make an effort to distinguish between daytime and bedtime.

When it’s time to sleep, keep light sources to a minimum, including when you get up to go to the bathroom. As with a TV, computer, or video game, you’ll want to avoid anything that can stimulate your brain or body out of rest. Even if your eyes are closed, light in your bedroom can disrupt your sleep.

Sleep  Habit : Don’t Go Back for Seconds! It’s a Thanksgiving ritual for many – stuff yourself so full you have no choice but to waddle down the hall and flop into bed for a nap.

But eating too much – especially near bedtime – can wreak havoc on your sleep schedule.  Being overly stuffed with food can make sleeping uncomfortable, and if you’re one of the unlucky ones to suffer from indigestion, it can be a painful experience, too.  Instead, eat just enough to quell your hunger and go to bed satisfied, but not distressed.

Throughout Sleep Awareness Week this year, we have given out many valuable, and I truly hope life changing tips.

If these steps are taken, in addition to noise reduction and a few other considerations, such as making a separate sleeping area for pets (that are used to sleeping with you) – then you should be on your way to eliminating some of the factors that may have been contributing to your persistent sleep problems.

I look forward to hearing all the positive results you have made in your life.

Greetings to the “Hump Day” edition of Sleep Awareness Week!

The first tip today may sound like a very simple one concerning sleep and insomnia related issues, but many times it is over looked.

Comfortable Bed: One symptom of a sleep disorder or impairment is tossing and turning during the night, and one reason you may be restless is because your mattress is uncomfortable.

As with most anything in life, what’s “right” for you (and your back, your posture, your comfort) is specific to your body. However, research has shown that supple mattresses may be more conducive to a good night’s rest versus a firmer one.

Definitely avoid sleeping on a lumpy mattress if it can be helped. A new mattress may be in order if you’ve outgrown your current one, either in size or comfort.  If you have a spouse who prefers a different type of mattress, consider getting the type of bed where each of you set the mattress to your perfect number.

Sleep Habit: Move Your Body Toward Sleep! Exercise may be the medicine you need to engage in a deep slumber tonight.  Insomnia occurs less frequently in those who exercise on a regular basis for at least 20-30 minutes a day.

You don’t want to exercise near bedtime, but in the morning or afternoon instead.  Studies have shown that many sedentary individuals who suffered from insomnia found their sleep disorder disappeared once they began an exercise regimen.

When you exercise, you’re relieving tension and increasing your body’s production of endorphins.  You don’t have to exercise vigorously – a moderate walk is enough to aid you in your quest for sleep.

That’s all the Sleep Awareness Week Tips for today, join us again tomorrow!

As always, thanks for reading, and please, leave us your comments.

Greetings,

Sleep Awareness Week starts this week, and also, I wanted to make you aware that we change clocks to Daylights Saving Time, Saturday March 20th 2010.

Please book mark this page and return often not only this week, but throughout the year as we always have some type of sleep issue that we cover.

This week we will focus on some “How To Tips.”

Anything from the essentials to getting a good night’s sleep, to also good sleeping habits, to clearing insomnia from your life.

Remember, not every sleep tip we mention will work for everyone.  The solution is to find what works, and maybe a combination of a few, works for you.  Sometimes you may have to make lifestyle changes, try to keep a sleep journal,(as mentioned in a previous post here), and seek out help from your doctor if signs and symptoms worsen.

To a good night’s sleep, and remember to change your clocks back for Daylights Savings Time March 20th, 2010

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.

PS…Is there anything that gives a promise of all the benefits of sleep in a fraction of the time. Try http://www.sleepsecretaudio.com An all natural way to fall asleep safely.

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.

Although changes in the circadian timing system are thought to be a major factor in the decline of sleep quality that often accompanies aging, few reports have actually examined this relationship in detail. Because some treatments for age-related insomnia are based on putative circadian changes, it is important to expand the limited database that specifically addresses this issue. This study examined age-related changes in sleep, and relationships between those sleep changes and alterations in the circadian timing system, in a group of middle-aged and older subjects.

Sixty healthy men and women between the ages of 40 and 84 were studied. A subset of older subjects (< 65 years) had reported sleep disturbance for at least 1 year before participation. Polysomnography was obtained, and body core temperature was recorded continuously for 24 hours. All recordings took place in the Laboratory of Human Chronobiology, Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College.

There were no differences in sleep quality between middle-aged and non-sleep-disturbed older subjects. However, timing of the minimum body temperature was earlier in the older non-sleep-disturbed subjects than in the middle-aged group. In contrast, sleep-disturbed older people had shorter total sleep times, reduced sleep efficiency, more waking time after sleep onset, and a reduced proportion of REM sleep compared with non-sleep-disturbed older subjects. Yet, there were no differences between the two older groups in the rhythm of body temperature. For the entire group, age was correlated negatively with total sleep time, sleep efficiency, percentage of stage 2 sleep, and the timing of the temperature minimum.

The results support the widely held notion that sleep and circadian rhythm changes occur with aging. However, the hypothesis that age-related changes in sleep may be associated with aging of the circadian system was supported only to a limited degree, suggesting that age-related sleep disturbance is likely to have multiple causes. Thus, treatment strategies that incorporate a combination of interventions may be the most effective.

I recently completed analyzing a piece that promotes that not getting enough sleep is costing the Canadian economy 20 BILLION DOLLARS, YES 20 BILLION DOLLARS per year!

Read the full article here: http: //is.gd/elYJ

We have found one of their clarification on lack of slumber.

“Concerning 15 per cent of grown ups are afflicted by not getting enough sleep syndrome, meaning they’ve got problems good sleep a minimum of three nights a week. Yet another 32 per cent suffer from not getting enough sleep once in a while, meaning at the least once a month.
The remaining, 52 per cent, can be categorized as good quality sleepers. ”

That’s a numerous amount of people NOT slumbering!

The price of losing sleep and being deprived of slumber along with the loss of work and productivity is where the 20 Billion dollar
number comes from.

Notice, there are several ways to get your rest back under control.

Some of them organic, natural means.
Some of them consist of supplements or harmful drugs.

As being a guy that had sleep issues while encountering a divorce, allow me to recommend an all natural, safe method to get back into a
normal sleep habit;  The Sleep Secret Audio.

This is a very simple process, furthermore when learned, you can get to sleep each time, anywhere. I utilized this whenever I had a few incredibly demoralizing occasions and seemed to be needing power naps. Oh yeah, you can use these skills for power naps also.

Since the Sleep Secret Audio worked for me, I want you to know how to obtain  a copy.

Please visit http://www.sleepsecretaudio.com

Examine the site and it’s claims, and I hope the people in Canada are reading this also!

Appears like 48% of the people wishes they could have a great night’s slumber.
