Make Sure Babies Have the Right Sleep Positions
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung October 11th, 2008 in Health Issues, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Issues.
We all think that sleep position issues are only relevant for adults. Sore backs or muscle strains that include stiff necks are normally the case but for babies, it is equally relevant. And in their case, it is more of their blood pressure that is concerned as circulatory failures which can go as far as leading to SIDS may occur.
“Infant BP is modified by sleep state and sleeping position,” the study authors write. “A tendency for BP to fall in the prone position appears to be prevented by elevated HR at 2–4 weeks and 5–6 months, but not at 2–3 months, coincident with the age of greatest risk for SIDS. An uncompensated fall in BP in the prone position at this age could increase the possibility of circulatory failure and SIDS in vulnerable infants.”

Is it Wise to Sleep for Next Day’s Clothes?
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung August 18th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Issues.
Many call it ingenious to help adults and kids avoid the rush when they wake up in the morning to go to work or school. Sleeping in your clothes for the next day may be applicable to kids but surely not for the adults. Unless you are allowed to wear rugged attire when you work, chances are this practice should be left to the kids.
Sleeping is hard and waking up on time is another. Waking up early is attributed to the fact that kids have to take showers, brush their teeth, dress up and eat their breakfast before they can be on their way to school. For kids that take out the dressing part, it would be wise to make sure they don’t smell once they are ready to go to school.
Baths before bed are good but seriously, waking up early is a discipline one can instill if they go to sleep early. Hard as it may, it seems more practical especially when you talk about proper grooming and then getting ready for the school bus to arrive.

Would you Get Your Baby this Downtime Organic Sleepytime Mask?
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung May 31st, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Gadgets, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues, Sleep Wear.
We all know of this new sleeping enhancement called a sleep mask. However, we only know it to be applicable to the adults today as many sleep deprived individuals need these masks to assist them in sleeping better. But a infant sleeping mask? It is either for serious baby cases or perhaps something like a toy for them to wear when they sleep.
By its concept, here is what the makers of this Downtime Organic Sleepytime Mask wants to accomplish:
“Nurturing. Children learn that closing their eyes is one step in falling asleep.
Expressive. The closed eyelashes that detail the flip-down mask let others know not to disturb baby’s sleep. “
Point taken but would babies even bother to wear them? Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable? We all know that infants are not fond of being irritated or compromised when they are sleeping.
Perhaps the makers were just concerned with putting something in the market. For sure, this is something that does not make sense at all.

Sleep Apnea May be in the Tonsils
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung September 21st, 2007 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Apnea, Sleep Disorders, Snoring.
Sleep apnea problems are often seen as a problem in adults. However, even the kids today suffer from unsuspecting sleep apnea issues. It is indeed something that may not be thought of but hearing or seeing your child breathing abnormally may lead a person to think that there is really something wrong with the child.
Tonsils would normally be identified as a culprit towards being an obstruction towards air passage in most people today. While it may be surprising to note on most kids today, the reality is that sleep apnea does not choose or have preference on which it victimizes. This includes kids who seem to be normal but have issues once they go to bed and rest.
