Tylenol has issued a recall on some products under their fold, including Simply Sleep due to reports of nausea. Apparently these over the counter drugs were contaminated with the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). Although the chemical has not been studied for health effects, there have not been any recorded serious medical events.

Some customers have complained of nausea which were traced to chemicals, found in shipping pallets, which gives off a nauseating odor.

While many people are battling their sleepiness with various pills and drinks, here is one device that can easily wake you up, if you happen to want to stay awake. The device is the Wink Glasses. They are a clip-on device which monitor your alertness.

By counting how often you blink. Your blink rate will tell it if you are getting tired. If it senses that you are dozing, the glass will turn opaque and supposedly, that will wake you up. Not a bad gadget to have and maybe great for people who have to stay awake extensively due to work or for some other reason.

Lundy knows a thing or two about sleeping and how to sleep well under duress and pressure as someone who has continued to sleep like a queen while under the harshest emotional and financial circumstances.

Sleep deprived people who rely heavily on melatonin may want to change their reliance on such pills. Though they may help, the question is how long. And if you want something better to act as a substitute, here is one called a Melatonin Skin Patch which can aid you even better.

The patch may be more effective than melatonin pills because oral melatonin wears off quickly while the dose from the patch lasts longer. The study, published this week in the journal Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, only involved eight people. They were given a patch containing either 2.1 milligrams of melatonin or no drug. The researchers measured their sleep performance and the melatonin levels in their blood.

“And, importantly, melatonin levels rose gradually, such that the peak concentration occurred in the early evening, during the latter part of the bed rest. We know — and shift workers know — that this is a time during which it is particularly difficult to remain asleep,” Aeschbach said in a news release.

The King of Pop may have passed away but the riddle concerning his death continues. And now it seems that the facts are being shelled out one by one, including the devastating pill which was said to be the cause of it all. And if the reports are true, taking 10 Xanax pills nightly is indeed deadly and totally inhumane.

“In addiction cases, people develop a tolerance to drugs and have to take more and more pills. No matter how you cut it, this is an extremely high dosage of Xanax. It is a huge red flag, even with the tolerance that I was talking about. This dosage is exceedingly high for any human being.”

Many call this an addiction. However, the King of Pop was doing it just to make sure that he would get some sleep. So you be the judge. Was he an addict or a sleep deprived victim simply looking for an answer?

Snoring has to be the most irritating thing you would want to hear when you are sleeping. But if you feel like that, then perhaps the person in the same room would think of the same thing. However, there is more to snoring than just being an irritating sound. It could also lead to risks connected with your overall health.

With that in mind, it would be best to try and resolve snoring for health and social purposes. You can remedy social issues by perhaps sleeping in a separate room. But for health reasons, there should be a remedy that is not purely constrained towards taking medicine and pills.

Some remedies for snoring may include:

1. Sleep on your side. To avoid a new position, check out some pillows that can help you avoid changing that side view position.
2. Avoid alcohol or any form of medication
3. Trim down to your suggested weight
4. Avoid or Quit Smoking
5. Sleep with your head elevated. You can use pillows to help you sleep in that said position.

Sleep deprivation is an abuse we lash at our bodies. Without rest, we find ourselves opening a door for all illnesses and diseases to come in which if contracted may place us in living shorter. Medical intervention in the form of specialists and pills are great but they still cannot guarantee if our lives will last longer because of them. Sleeping is still the most important part of living healthy and making our body function properly.

“We spend – or should spend – a third of our lives sleeping,” says Amita Sehgal, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience and an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).

“The idea that so much time is spent in sleep is intriguing. Also, sleep deprivation has serious health consequences and impairs cognitive function.”
