Sheets Brand has released a new alternative sleep aid for people suffering from sleep problems, something perhaps better than the usual sleeping pills or other forms of sleep aids with issues.

They are called the Sleep Sheets, paper-thin and individually wrapped, dissolvable strips that promise to improve a person’s natural sleep cycle. Each sheet is composed of 3mg of Melatonin, 3mg of L-Theanine, 1mg of Goji Berry Extract and 1mg of Chamomile Extract, all blended properly to help a person get quality sleep.

Sheets Brand got Serena Williams to help them in the launch of the said sleep solution, one of the many athletes known to have their share of sleep problems.

Using proprietary technology initially developed for Sheets Brand Energy Strips, Sleep Sheets help consumers get the rest they need whether at home or traveling.

To help track your sleep issues better, here is another health-inspired device that should help in the diagnosis of sleep issues. This is the Jawbone UP, a wrist-worn sensor bracelet that aims to help track movement and sleep patterns with the aid of a special app.

The bracelet comes with an array of sensors that may include an accelerometer along with a battery inside the water-proofed housing. They come in blue and pink color schemes and can be connected through an iPhone.

The app works by monitoring a person’s movement and then works with an open platform. Somewhat similar to some gadgets from Nike, the Jawbone UP will be out later this year with prices and actual launch date yet to be made official.

Somaxon has gotten a big boost after Proctor & Gamble promised to help them sell Silenor to thousands of U.S. doctors and pharmacies. Both companies have agreed in principle to start the marketing efforts for the new sleep drug this September.

The deal also places Procter & Gamble first in line to negotiate for the rights to develop and market an over-the-counter version of Silenor in the United States. However, Somaxon would have to win FDA approval first before the drug could be sold without a prescription.

NikkoSHOPS announces the launch of a second online store aimed at broadening their target areas for the growing demand for Internet-based shopping. The new site will focus on modern furniture and contemporary home furnishings.

Today we are seeing the evolution of home improvement. In fact, there are two niches: one of the traditional front and the other that of which is focused on modern style. Presumably, the first store was focused more on the general needs but seeing the need to focus on specifics, it seems that this new store will be focusing on that aspect as a business strategy for the growing market today.

“There are already several online niche furniture retailers in the market,” said Nuno Andrade, cofounder of nikkoSHOPS. “We’re just trying to take our unique customer-centric focus and applying it to an existing business model.”

Here’s some news that might help people live 24-hours straight without sleep! That might be a problem since no one will have to come see Sleepzine to see sleep related stuff… Regardless, read all about the “Get ready for 24-hour living” article from Newscientist.

P.S. Yes, that’s me yawning, probably too much blogging…

Yves is talking about modafinil, a stimulant that since its launch seven years ago has acquired a near-mythical reputation for wiring you awake without the jitters, euphoria and eventual crash that come after caffeine or amphetamines. Yves has been popping modafinil on and off for the past three years and says it is “tremendously useful”. “I find I can be very productive at work,” he says. “I’m more organised and more motivated. And it means I can go out partying on a Friday night and still go skiing early on Saturday morning.”

Modafinil is just the first of a wave of new lifestyle drugs that promise to do for sleep what the contraceptive pill did for sex – unshackle it from nature. Since time immemorial, humans have structured their lives around sleep. In the near future, we will, for the first time, be able to significantly structure the way we sleep to suit our lifestyles.
