Looks nice and affordable. Not sure how it works though, is there an add-on you need to wear or something? How does it detect your sleeping pattern?

Comment on Not Sleeping is not a great Weight Loss Solution by melatonin effects

melatonin effects — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:33:28 +0000

it goes further than just the calories that are being burned;

“One study in which the effect of sleep on weight was shown did take place over 16 years and included almost 70 thousand middle-aged women. The research showed that those women who slept for 5 hours each night were more than 30% more likely to experience significant weight gain (33 pounds or more) and 15% more likely to become obese than the women who slept 7 hours each night.
The women who experienced the weight gain and only slept 5 hours a night, was not due to these women eating more or exercising less. In fact, the researchers found out that these women ate less than the ones who didn’t gain weight!”

Comment on Circadin Gets Approval for Treatment of Insomnia by melatonin effects

melatonin effects — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:26:00 +0000

@marie good remark about the soda! lot of people just take the ‘easy’ ‘lazy’ route and take sleep medication while forgetting there is a lot you can do naturally. Like mentioned avoiding coffee or soda, but also not sitting in front of the bright lit screens until late at night; this might cause our bodies to produce less melatonin since that production is sensitive to light.

Comment on The Culprits of Sleep Deprivation by Deborah Dickinson

Deborah Dickinson — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:38:52 +0000

Alarm clock too bright ? Lights from electronics keeping you awake ? Even a small amount of light in your bedroom during sleep can cause you to wake numerous times, without even knowing it. This can lead to daytime tiredness and irritability. Dim those annoying lights in your bedroom with “Dim It light dimming sheets”. Go to buydimit.com for information on how to get them and get more information on getting quality sleep.

Comment on Eminem Admits Being a Drug Insomniac by Peter

Peter — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:11:40 +0000

The ‘GLO to SLEEP’ mask, which uses a cross between the yoga relaxation technique and self-hypnosis mask has helped a number of celebrities sleep. It uses inert photoluminescent ink dots to create a focal point to relax the mind and allow natural sleep to follow.

“Peter,

I’m speechless. For the first time in nearly 20 years, I’ve been able to sleep through the night. I have occasionally awaken, but only for a brief few minutes, compared to my usual 2-3 hours of tossing and turning trying to get back to sleep. What’s even more amazing, I haven’t had to get up to use the bathroom at night. I’ve been telling friends and family, so I expect you’ll be getting e-mails and calls. My wife wants to get one of her own and I told her I would e-mail you and ask for one for her. But this e-mail is to say thank you. With all the reports coming out about sleep deprivation, I believe “Glo to Sleep” is a life saver. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Ernie Hudson – TV and film actor “

Comment on Inception Movie Ending: Dream or Reality? by horsefern

horsefern — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:33:44 +0000

Wow! I have just had a three-level dream, that’s why I came to this site. The first scene was driving my new car along a muddy dirt road. A black car with rear plate blacked out backed up from a side street into my front bumper but I wasn’t upset, as the touch was small. I reversed on the road and took off in the opposite direction, the road being a rutted mud pit by this time. Coming against me was an old Pontiac, which suddenly swerved across my path, forcing me to T-bone it and wreck the front end of my car. We stopped facing the same direction; I wound down my window (his was already open) and shouted to him: “Do you have insurance?!” “No!” he said. Then I told him: “Hey, that’s OK, I’ll change the dream!”

At that point, my car was fixed and I went on my way. The next scene was where I was sitting on a stoop telling two old people about my dream and the fact that I had changed it.

Weird! But really unusual… It’s a first for me and I look forward to more. By the way, I am not a smoker of any sort and don’t do drugs.

Anyone want to comment?

This may be a bit more expensive than most alarm clocks, but the extra cost is well worth it. What a great way to wake up! Does the Polar Bear come with the clock?

Comment on Would You Sleep in a Sewer Pipe? by Uratex

Uratex — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:53:45 +0000

Looks very odd but I think that it won’t be stayed by people if it isn’t a nice place to stay. I’m just wondering, where they put the electricity line in there.

Comment on Angry Bird Plush Pillows by Uratex

Uratex — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:47:18 +0000

Everywhere I go, I see Angry Birds merchandises and I was surprised that it would be a hit. Now, everyone has his/her own Angry Birds merchandise, I think including these pillows.

Comment on Sleep Vertically with the Vertical Bed by Uratex

Uratex — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:37:39 +0000

Yeah, the concept is really odd and I think that it would not be that convenient when you sleep just anywhere you like. I think I won’t dare doing this kind of “sleeping”.

Comment on Ice Cream Sandwich Desert Pillow by Uratex

Uratex — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 08:02:16 +0000

This pillow is the answer for all of your Midnight dessert cravings. This would be liked by dessert lovers especially those who craves for Ice cream sandwiches. But beware, even though it might satisfy your hunger, you might even eat it too when you’re asleep. Lol.

Comment on Carton Pillows by Uratex

Uratex — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 07:49:21 +0000

The pillow looks like a little odd but it’s cute. I think it would be good pairing it to a carton bed (if there’s such a thing), the carton collection would be complete.

It’s disgusting that this author chooses facts to support their agenda, and ignores the other factors in this accident. She was not wearing her seatbelt. Do you think that would be important information to include in this article?

Comment on World’s Perfect Sleeping System by Uratex

The design itself is awesome. It’s my first time seeing a boulder that is made out of wool. The idea is great and I think this boulder-pillow will be loved by everyone.

i believe that the end was a dream because when he was in reality he had his wedding ring on, and when he was in a dream he had it off. if you pay attention at the end you can see that he is not wearing it. i believe that his totem was the ring (not the gyro).

Comment on Are You Among the Sleep Apnea Walking Dead? by Caroline Gaibel

Caroline Gaibel — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:35:34 +0000

The problem is not only feeling like the walking dead, it’s more dangerous because of course it overlaps to the driving dead. Staying in focus with quick responses when driving is tricky when you’ve only had 4 hours sleep and during that time you have awoken at least 30 times per hour.
I have searched long ad wide for a solution to my exhaustion, and tried endless methods to recover. Some are funny and some not so much. Please enjoy my blog where I go into great detail outlining how to solve this problem.

Comment on Nasal Surgery can Relieve Sleep Apnea by Caroline Gaibel

Caroline Gaibel — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:30:38 +0000

As part of the surgical procedure I endured this summer, was the reduction of the turbinates in my nose. I have had no side affects and it even seems to have prevented nose bleeding that i had in the past.
After having tried endless CPAP masks, oral appliances, Provent, didgeridoos..I am hopeful that surgery will give me lasting success. I have maintained my sense of humor despite my lack of sleep and invite you to check out my blog.
Sweet dreams,
Caroline

Comment on Faces of Sleep Apnea by Caroline Gaibel

Caroline Gaibel — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:25:21 +0000

I am envious if this surgery has worked, as my procedure of UPP and glossopexy have not had great results yet and I am dealing with an infection where the screw was inserted in my chin. What is the name of this procedure where the back of the tongue is burned?
My story has been 2 years in the making and I share my aspects of it with humor in my blog to allow others with sleep apnea to find comfort. You are welcome to check it out.

Comment on Stimulation Therapy for Sleep Apnea Patients by Caroline Gaibel

Caroline Gaibel — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:17:40 +0000

I’m interested in knowing how this technique is different from a glossopexy? I just had that procedure together with a UPP but unfortunately I got an infection in my chin and the screw came out after 2 months. Now my choices are to do that procedure again which is upsetting or to search for an alternative.
I blog about my crazy journey through CPAP masks, oral appliances, didgeridoos and surgery.

Great article! I myself have suffered eye infection and bulging red blood vessels on my cornea from leaving my daily wear lenses too long, but even extended wear lenses must be properly cared for.

Hey great blog post thanks, I have been looking for resources on sleeping problems for ages as I suffer quite badly from a lack of sleep and I am unsure whether it is insomnia or something more physical like the bed itself. So thanks.

Comment on Treating Sleep Apnea with Epilepsy by Selims Its

Selims Its — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 12:48:15 +0000

@lamictalsideeffects

What an odd, and unscientific, statement. If an underlying cause of epilepsy is found and treated why do you need drug treatment? Anti-epileptic medication have side effects you know.

For example:
“Three of the patients became seizure free and the fourth patient had a greater than 95% reduction in seizure frequency following only the initiation of therapy for the sleep apnoea.”Vaughn et al., 1996 .

Would you recommend that the three who became seizure free should take medication? Why???

Comment on Inception Movie Ending: Dream or Reality? by warren

warren — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 21:39:34 +0000

it is obviously real life at the end because in the dream they are fighting whilst floating and you can not float in real life so that solves that equation. but everyone is saying that he could never see his children in the dream,even though at one point he turns his head away from his wife calling the children, so who knows if it was reality at the end or not but i mostly agree that it was reality because of what i said at first

Comment on Sleep Causes Car Accidents by ladi

ladi — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:53:06 +0000

well it is one of the crisis of our time to have people who drives while they were on the wheel. What can anyone really do to stem such crisis? we can only encourage people to have a sound sleep, keep out their worries and drive safely with concentration most or at all time. sleep is a natural thing, but nonetheless iot is worthwhile to stay alive. That be the most important thing!

Comment on Anti-Snore Ring Questioned by zquiet reviews

zquiet reviews — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:33:23 +0000

There are various grades of these “boil and bite” devices. Even the cheapest one is going to be better than this product, but there are some out there that are superb. I ended up buying the Zquiet Mouthpiece. It costs about 3 times as much as this device. And after using it, it is worth every penny of it – to me. You may not want or need to pay that much, and you certainly don’t have to.
