The Sleep Secret

Greetings,

I received this letter from my good friend Tam, I send her big hugs for sharing her story.

Enjoy her story.

So I was born a Virgo.  For those of you who don’t know the traits of this most auspicious sign Virgo’s are about productivity and perfection.  When I set my mind to a project it is nose to the grindstone and no looking up until it’s complete.

My last product was a 60 page e-book called “Love Notes from UnSeminar 6” How it happened was a whirlwind. I spent a long weekend in San Antonio, Texas taking notes at a fabulous internet based seminar. I took detailed notes, us Virgo’s don’t miss a beat.  I wrote like a fool.

When I got home from the trip I took one day off and then dug into rewriting and editing those  notes in to a compilation of great information that anyone getting started in internet marketing ( Link to Pat O’Bryans’  upcoming Unseminar 7 ) could use.

I stayed focused on the writing and editing until it was done.  It took approximately four days of hard work.  Then, I had to market this thing.  Another four days of writing sales copy ensued.  I must follow through, right?  Right.  So, I spent the next week or so doing all the technical jazz that I could do and then I sent the detailed pieces to my tech support gal.  I made phone call after phone call to her to get her on it and get it done.

While all of this  was going on I was making side notes of ideas as they came up.  WOW! I now have a six page list of projects and ideas that I want to flesh out and work on, but what’s a Virgo to do but go with the flow?!

And what does this have to do with the Sleep Secret Audio?  Everything!

While I was in San Antonio I met Trapper Sherwood.  This gracious transplanted northeasterner with a downeastern-southern drawl slipped me his Sleep Secret Audio CD.  (For the record, Trapper Sherwood is a lovely combo of Maine meets Tennessee).  I guess he noticed the dark circles under my eyes.  All I could give him in return was a smile and a thank you.

You see, every night while at the seminar in Texas my mind was racing with ideas, my nerves were shot and though I was dog tired laying in my bed I was wide awake.  I was too restless to sleep. I knew I need help.  Trapper’s sleep audio offered the help I needed.

What an amazing thing this sleep audio is.  The first time I listened I fell asleep in no time at all. I actually can’t tell you how quickly it happens for me now.  I only know I’m rested again.  I’m soothed, at ease and readily fall into deep slumber.  It’s bliss.

For a person like me, who others call “Speedy Gonzales” an audio that actually works to get me to sleep FASTER, well, you have to know I appreciate that.

Virgo, Capricorn, Aries, it doesn’t matter who you are it only matters that you are rested so that you can be productive during your days.  I’m producing now more than ever.  Go to my newest website and find a children’s book  www.mollykite.com that you can read to help your child sleep with peace in their heart.

Enjoy Sleep Secret Audio.  I need to get busy, I have more things on my list that I need to get done.

Tam I Am

Thank You Tam!

Greetings,

In conjunction with our blog post from last week; “Sleep Deprivation Causes and Consequences” today I want to add the Epworth Sleep Scale.

In contrast to just feeling tired, how likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? (Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you.) Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation.

0 = Would never doze
1 = Slight chance of dozing
2 = Moderate chance of dozing
3 = High chance of dozing

Situation                                               Chance of Dozing

Sitting and Reading                            __________________

Watching TV                                        ___________________

Sitting inactive in a public place (i.e. theatre)                         ___________

As a car passenger for an hour without a break                     ___________

Lying down to rest in the afternoon                                           ____________

Sitting and talking to someone                                                     ____________

Sitting quietly after lunch without alcohol                             ____________

In a car, while stopping for a few minutes in traffic            ____________

A score of greater than 10 is a definite cause for concern as it indicates significant excessive daytime sleepiness.

We all know how important sleep is. Sleep deprivation can put your personal safety and security at risk and lead to accidents or death. Please use the above scale to determine your sleepiness and do something about it.

Remove sleep loss, and insomnia from your life.

Take action and do something about it now!

Sincerely,

Thomas “Trapper” Sherwood

HOW MUCH SLEEP IS ENOUGH?

Most adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. People who are well rested feel alert and do not have the urge to nap.

WHAT CAUSES SLEEP DEPRIVATION?

• Not allowing enough time for sleep

• Anything that causes insomnia or poor quality sleep

• Sleep disorders

• Excessive worry, depression

• Repeated awakenings from noise

• Working at night, travel across time zones

• Medical illness causing pain, difficulty breathing, etc.

WHAT SLEEP DISORDERS CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS?

Obstructive sleep apnea: A very common disorder where there is obstruction of the nose and/or throat by enlarged tonsils, a deviated nasal septum etc. which results in pauses in breathing during sleep. Symptoms include snoring, morning headache and daytime fatigue. Obstructive sleep apnea can lead to heart failure and is a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.

Nocturnal myoclonus: Jerking of legs during sleep which causes brief awakenings. This causes insomnia and daytime sleepiness.

Narcolepsy: A relatively rare sleep disorder of dream sleep. The main symptom is uncontrollable sleepiness during the day.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION?

• Motor vehicle accidents and work accidents

• Decreased productivity

If this becomes a chronic problem, sleep deprivation can cause difficulties with social relationships because of irritability; as well as some significant medical problems.

WHEN ARE ACCIDENTS RELATED TO SLEEP DEPRIVATION MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN?

In the early to mid afternoon and in the very early morning hours. These are the times when everyone is least alert.

WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS?

• Medical illnesses: heart disease, breathing disorders and a variety of other problems can cause fatigue and sleepiness.

• Mental illness: depression is an important cause of insomnia troubles during the day.

HOW CAN THESE ACCIDENTS BE AVOIDED?

Getting enough sleep at night or adding naps in the afternoon when needed can help prevent serious accidents due to sleepiness. If a person has signs of a sleep disorder or has their sleep disrupted by symptoms of a medical illness or depression, they should see their physician.

You can throw a “Knock-Out” punch against Sleep Deprivation, and get your sleep and health back.

Greetings,

How can you “Knock out sleep loss with the sleep secret audio‘s”

Let me tell you about a little story about myself.

Now this just took place last night.

Imagine as you or I was the case, laying down in your bed to fall asleep. As my head head hit the fluffy goose-down fill pillow last night, I was more than ready to fall fast asleep. But that is really not what happened.

You see, as I lay there bundled & wrapped up in my sheets and blankets, (I love doing that, have since I was a kid, do you do it too?) my mind started wandering. I started thinking about a couple classes I had taken over the weekend, wondering how I could use my newly gained knowledge to help a couple of my existing clients out, and how it could help put a few extra dollars in my wallet.

Then I got to thinking about some upcoming bills that need to be paid.

Ah Ha!

That was the moment!

I knew if I didn’t do something right then & there, I would be tossing & turning ALL night.

Know what I mean?

Has that happened to you before?

C’mon, shake your head yes, I know it has. It happens to most of us. That is how millions of people are affected by sleep loss.

To much thinking as we lay down at night.

Guess what, we are in bed!

We can’t do a darn thing about it if the electric bill, or mortgage is due in three weeks,  three days, or even tomorrow!

What we do need it a good & natural way to fall asleep, and stay asleep at night.

We need to be fully rested, and rejuvenated the next morning when we wake up so we can go and perform at our peak.

So just how did I go about getting a good night’s sleep?

A sleep that was deep, full of vibrant dreams, and when I awoke this morning I was feeling fresh & rejuvenated.

I inserted the earphones from my ipod and turned on the Sleep Instructions that come with The “Sleep Secret Audio.”

By the time the track was over, ( each of the four tracks are 11 minutes long) I was fast asleep. Seriously, no kidding.

I admit it, sometimes even I have problems falling asleep, but when I feel those signs coming on, I reach for my “secret weapon” against sleep; The Sleep Secret Audio‘s.”

You can too.

You can have immediate access to downloading the sleep audio‘s, and you too can experience the bliss of falling into a deep, restful and peaceful sleep, and wake up refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to tackle the day’s activities.

To a Good Night’s Sleep For you starting tonight!

One of the most frustrating things that we can go through is not being able to sleep properly at night.  If you are finding that you are tossing and turning during the night and if you can’t keep your mind off of stressful situations, it can not only affect your hours during the nighttime, it can affect the entire day.  Although there are a lot of different things that can cause insomnia, one of the more common reasons why we experience it is because of stressful situations we are going through.

There are really two different types of sleeping problems that people with stress tend to go through.  For some, they are unable to fall asleep when they lay down and they may find themselves tossing and turning, their minds dwelling on things that keep them awake.  There are also others who tend to fall asleep quickly but that sleep is soon interrupted and once they are awake, they can’t seem to fall back asleep again.  If stress is robbing you of the sleep that you need, there are a few things that you may be able to do to help cure it.

One of the best things that you can do in this situation is to prepare your mind to put the stressful situations on the back burner.  For at least one hour before you go to bed, avoid anything that would remind you of the stressful problems that you are going through.  Practice meditating on things that are upbuilding and do some deep breathing exercises to help calm your mind as well.  During times like these, things like warm baths, aromatherapy and soft music also help to calm a weary mind.

You should also make sure that your body is not lacking anything that it needs.  If you are dealing with panic attacks and these are robbing you of sleep, you might be short on some vitamins.  Supplement with a good multivitamin and make sure that you are getting enough B vitamins during the day.  Although this may not totally take your stress away because it does not change the environment around you, if you find that you are panicking about nothing then this may just be the culprit.

Calming your mind and getting the sleep that you need if you’re dealing with too much stress can certainly be a difficult thing to do.  With a little bit of patience, however, you can gain some control over your thoughts and allow yourself to get the sleep that you need.

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.
