What would it be like if you woke up one morning and found that your street, your town, and now your house was flooded, and more rain was coming.

Can you imagine that scene?

Well, that is what happened over this past weekend to my town here in LaVergne Tennessee, just 24 miles down I 24 east from Nashville Tennessee.

You see,our town, and Nashville included just went through the great flood of 2010.

70 plus cars were stranded and flooded and washed away on interstate 24, and some deaths have occurred.

Opryland Hotel, closed due to flooding. Downtown Nashville; flooded. Businesses lost.

Perhaps you saw this on the news, or read about it.

In my hometown of La Vergne many neighbors and people that I know have been devastated and have lost their homes and or businesses.

And this is the reason I am writing this post today.

Our resources are running low. Friends that I know that work for the local Rescue department have been working around the clock.

Their funds are getting critically low. They need some help.

Here’s what I am asking of you today.

When you purchase a copy of the Sleep Secret Audio for the low price of only $21.97 I will donate 20% of the purchase price of each sale to our local Rescue Squad here. I will do this through out the month of May, and bring them a check June 5th 2010.

Not only will you be getting a great night’s sleep by purchasing the sleep audio, you will be lending a helping hand to some folks that need it so much.

Also, as an added bonus, I will be including the downloads for the “Mind Vacation Meditation” audio’s, and also the “Confidence Audio’s“. An added $20 dollar value to say thank you for helping my neighbors out.

So, please take a moment of your time, click on this link; ==> Sleep Secret Audio and lend a much needed helping hand to some folks much like yourself.

Loss of sleep causes a form of starvation, for the food we eat is digested and transformed into new muscle, brain, blood, and nerve-cells only while we are asleep.

“Sleep recharges the exhausted body batteries and fills the organic furnace with fresh fuel. Sleep is a positive process–not a negative one. It isn’t merely a stopping of bodily activity. It’s a substitution of a constructive process for a destructive one.”

“Only while we are unconscious do we fully recuperate. The deeper the sleep, the quicker the recuperation. The lighter ,and more disturbed the sleep, the more we need of it—the longer it takes to effect repair.”

‘The quality of sleep is everything. An hour’s nap, under favorable condition, is more reconstructive than an entire night’s restless, dream ridden sleep. Many who sleep deep’ are able to do with four or five hours of it—while light sleepers might require twelve or thirteen hours to gain the same degree or recuperation.

Go to sleep when your tired, get up when you are rested. That’s the only proper universal rule. When You are rested you’ll awake. In fact, you
couldn’t sleep any more—just then—even if you wanted to. And, have no fear of injuring your health by oversleeping. No one ever got too much good natural sleep or did his health any harm by staying in bed until he or she felt rested. But if you don’t feel rested, there is a cause for it. Either there is something wrong with your bed, or you’re not getting enough oxygen; meaning your bedroom is stuffy or not ventilated properly; perhaps sleep apnea —or you could be anemic. If  this is the case, please see your Doctor for a physical to get your overall health checked.

Well, it’s been over ten days here in the states now. Is Daylight Savings Time still affecting your sleep?

I admit it, adjusting to it took me an extra day this year. Maybe it’s my age.

Another family member took an extra day or two. But we know the “secret.”

How about you?

When Daylight’s Saving Time goes into effect, the time change does more than make people late for appointments.
It can mess up their whole day by forgetting to adjust the time on their clocks. (I missed a tee time one year.)

Our internal clocks need an adjustment too, and sometimes that takes a little longer.

Because some people have an interruption in their sleeping patterns they resort to pills and drugs.

What if I could show you an all natural way to get your sleep back on track, and in the process “teach” your body and mind how to fall asleep whenever you wanted to. No worries about the long lasting affects of the time changes, or if something from work is bothering you.

Just pretend for a minute what a night of good old fashioned sleep would feel like.

Feels good, doesn’t it.

And what if I told you that this could be at your fingertips, and at the press of a button anytime you’d need it?

Interested?

At Sleep Secret Audio we have mp3 audio downloads that will help you fall asleep, fall fast asleep, and help you stay asleep throughout the whole night.

No pills, no drugs, no harmful side affects.

You can’t overdose on this sleep audio.

Which means you are getting a good solid night’s sleep, and your body, and mind is getting a complete sleep.

So, if you are tired of always being tired because of sleepless nights, check out our sleep audio at Sleep Secret Audio

You’ll notice a new you in the morning.

PS…Those night’s that I do have difficulty falling asleep due to things weighing on my mind, I use my own product, and so does my family. It’s safe and effective, isn’t it time you started using it too?

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?

Many people have trouble sleeping sometimes. This is even more likely if you have PTSD.
Having trouble sleeping and nightmares are two symptoms of PTSD.

There are many reasons why people with PTSD may have trouble sleeping:

• Changes in your brain:
  PTSD can cause changes in the brain making it difficult to sleep. Many people with PTSD may feel they need to be on guard or “on the lookout,” to protect him or herself from danger. It is difficult to have restful sleep when you feel the need to be always alert.

• Medical Problems:
  There are medical problems that are commonly found in people with PTSD such as chronic pain, stomach problems, and pelvic-area problems in women. They physical problems can make going to sleep difficult.

• Your Thoughts:
  Your thoughts can make it difficult to fall asleep. People with PTSD often worry about general problems or worry that they are in danger. If you have not been able to sleep for several nights (or even weeks), you may start to worry that you won’t be able to fall asleep. These thoughts can keep you awake.

• Drugs or Alcohol:
  Some people with PTSD use drugs or alcohol to help them cope with their symptoms. Drinking and using drugs can make it more difficult to fall asleep.

• Upsetting Dreams or Nightmares:
  Nightmares are common for people with PTSD. Nightmares can wake you up in the middle of the night, making your sleep less restful. Or, you may find it difficult to fall asleep because you are afraid you might have a nightmare.

• Hearing a Noise:
  Many people with PTSD wake up easily if they hear a noise. You may feel that you need to get up and check your room to make sure you are safe.

Misconception 1: Sleep is time for the body in general and the brain specifically to shut down for rest.
Sleep is an active process involving specific cues for its regulation. Although there are some modest decreases in metabolic rate, there is no evidence that any major organ or regulatory system in the body shuts down during sleep. Some brain activity, including delta waves, increases dramatically. Also, the endocrine system increases secretion of certain hormones during sleep, such as growth hormone and prolactin. In REM sleep, many parts of the brain are as active as at any time when awake.

Misconception 2: Getting just one hour less sleep per night than needed will not have any effect on daytime functioning.
When daily sleep time is less than an individual needs, a “sleep debt” develops. Even relatively modest daily reductions in sleep time (for example, one hour) can accumulate across days to cause a sleep debt. If the debt becomes too great, it can lead to problem sleepiness. Although the individual may not realize his or her sleepiness, the sleep debt can have powerful effects on daytime performance, thinking, and mood.

Misconception 3: The body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedules.
The biological clock that times and controls a person’s sleep/wake cycle will attempt to function according to a normal day/night schedule even when that person tries to change it. Those who work night shifts naturally feel sleepy when nighttime comes. A similar feeling that occurs during travel is known as jet lag. This conflict, set up by trying to be active during the brain’s biological nighttime, leads to a decrease in cognitive and motor skills. The biological clock can be reset, but only by appropriately timed cues and even then, by one to two hours per day at best. Problems resulting from a mismatch of this type may be reduced by behaviors such as sleeping in a dark, quiet room, getting exposure to bright light at the right time, and altering eating and exercise patterns. Because humans function best when they sleep at night and act in the daytime, the task for a person who must be active at night is to retrain the biological clock (by light cues).

Misconception 4: People need less sleep as they grow older.
Older people don’t need less sleep, but they often get less sleep. That’s because the ability to sleep for long periods of time and to get into the deep, restful stages of sleep decreases with age. Many older people have more fragile sleep and are more easily disturbed by light, noise, and pain than when younger. They are also more likely to have medical conditions that contribute to sleep problems.

Misconception 5: A “good night’s sleep” can cure problems with excessive daytime sleepiness.
Excessive daytime sleepiness can be associated with a sleep disorder or other medical condition. Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea (that is, absence of breathing during sleep), insomnia, and narcolepsy, may require behavioral, pharmacological, or even surgical intervention to relieve the symptoms. Extra sleep may not eliminate daytime sleepiness that may be due to such disorders.

Just a quick note about your Sleep Audio.

As someone that has no problem getting into REM
in 4 minutes or less it was a bit of a challenge as to
how best to use your product.

What I came up with was this.
I used them for afternoon meditation/relax time.

As a way to regenerate quickly to boost my energy in the afternoon.
And for that, they worked great. I just settled in and played
the subliminal one on loop. After coming out of it found
I had a refreshed look to the rest of the day.

For the most part I’m up at 5 or 6 every day
and have the bulk of what I want to get done
finished by noon. So having to go through the rest
of the day sometimes needs a bit more than just a coffee.

Thanks for these. It definitely puts a different spin to my day,
though I don’t need them everyday it’s nice to know that if
I need that quick recharge, they’re here.

Cheers,

U.S. college students don’t get enough sleep, and stress is the prime reason, a new study reports.

About 68 percent of college students who were surveyed said that worries about school and life keep them awake, with one-fifth saying this occurs at least once a week. The study, which appears online in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that less than a third of the 1,125 survey participants get the eight hours of sleep at night that people their age need.

“Students underestimate the importance of sleep in their daily lives,” study co-author Roxanne Prichard, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of St. Thomas, in St. Paul, Minn., said in a news release from the journal’s publisher. “They forgo sleep during periods of stress, not realizing that they are sabotaging their physical and mental health.”

Lack of sleep can cause problems with a person’s immune and cardiovascular system and increase the likelihood of other health risks, such as weight gain, she said.

About three in five of the students said they have irregular sleep-wake patterns, and many said they use drugs or alcohol regularly to help them either sleep or stay alert, the survey found. The regular use of stimulants and sedatives can increase the chance of becoming addicted to them.

Weekday all-nighters are pulled at least once a month by 20 percent of those polled, and 35 percent said they stayed up until 3 a.m. at least once a week. Skipping three or more classes in a month or falling asleep in class was common among 12 percent of the poor sleepers, the researchers noted.

As parents, we probably hear this statement more times than we really would like to.

Simply put:

Because, like other teenagers, they need at least 9 hours of sleep per night, and they are only getting 6!

If your student is falling asleep in class, it’s absolutely natural! According to recent research, teenagers actually need extra sleep, more than their younger siblings, and more than adults. In fact, teenagers natural biological clocks push them toward later bedtimes and later rising times.

1.Teens who get fewer than 9 hours of sleep per night may be sleep deprived.

2.Teens who are sleep deprived are at high risk for car crashes, poor performance in class and at work, mood swings, and other problems.

3.Drowsy driving is a significant factor in fatalities on the road.

Only one solution is effective in the long run: more sleep!

HERE IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL

Sleepy teens can be a danger to themselves and others especially on the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 26% of car crashes involve drivers under the age of 25.

Many teens may be experiencing a significant problem with sleepiness.

Sleep-deprived teens are likely to perform poorly in school and sports, be moody and may have trouble in social situations.

AS A CONCERNED PARENT, I KNOW YOUR NEXT QUESTION IS “HOW CAN I HELP?”

Convince your son/daughter that sleep is not just a luxury; it’s as important as eating and breathing.

Explain that drowsy driving is as dangerous and as avoidable as drunk driving. Help your student manage his/her schedules so that they have time for adequate sleep.

Brainstorm techniques for building sleep into their busy schedules.

Encourage them to find alternatives to driving when they’re feeling drowsy.
With the start of the new school year upon us, and also as the father of a teenage daughter, I do share your concerns. I would also like to help.

When my good friend Claus D. Jensen & I set out to create “The Sleep Secret Audio’s” it was our intention and still is our intention to help whoever we could clear and remove sleep loss, insomnia, sleep deprivation and whatever other sleep disorders we could with our sleep audio.

Since sleep so important, and of course students and their sleeping habits are important also, we have created two special links to ensure just about every student will have access to our sleep audio’s to improve their sleep.
