Nite Cove LED Lamp for better SLEEP
0 Comments Published by Max March 13th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Gadgets, SLEEP News.
Here’s a cool LED Lamp for sleeping better at night. Supposedly, this alarm clock/light can help you sleep better based on some mumbo jumbo scientific marketing.
We don’t know if it in fact works, but if you have tried out this $2300 lamp, make sure leave a comment!
…what makes it special is its design that is developed with the support of sleep researchers. NightCove uses lights and sounds aimed solely at improving sleep quality. You can connect it to your MP3 player, computer, TV or your hi-fi system too and two NightCove units can be synchronized to perform stereo operations.

Green Tea Pillow that can help you sleep better
0 Comments Published by Max March 12th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP News.
The faint aroma of green tea can help you sleep better if you make a Green Tea Pillow. If you have trouble sleeping and don’t want to do a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery,you might want to try it starting with your next green tea.
Although it sounds weird at first, dried green tea leaves are an excellent option for an organic pillow. Not only soft when used in bulk, the faint aroma of the leaves is also a natural sleep enhancer. A pillow-sized mass of tea leaves will take you a while to collect, but, once you do, air out the pillow outside once a week to avoid mustiness.

Clinophobia - Fear of SLEEP
0 Comments Published by Max March 11th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology.
Clinophobia (also known as Somniphobia) is a condition for people who fear sleeping. Whether you have fearsome monsters in your dreams or you wet your bed, this can be a serious condition if you have it. You can get some professional help if you have clinophobia here. (below is an excerpt from their website)
Defined as “a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of sleep”, each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, most somniphobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as somniphobia can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual.

DIY - How to make a Lucid Dreaming Mask!
0 Comments Published by Max March 10th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Fun, SLEEP Gadgets, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology.
Check out this DIY on how to make a lucid dreaming mask! If you’ve experienced lucid dreaming before, this is the one you can make and help you stay awake even in sleep!
For the uninitiated, lucid dreaming is a phenomenon whereby a person who is asleep and dreaming realizes that he (or she) is dreaming, and continues to control the dream, acting out fantasies or gaining special powers all within the dream.
I find it a wonderful concept - every night you enter a fake reality (your dreams) and have the opportunity to break out of it (just like Neo in The Matrix).

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery can prevent snoring
0 Comments Published by Max March 7th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News.
I am sure many of you are plagued by snoring loved ones causing you to either get very little sleep or you just had to live with it. Among the wide range of anti-snoring devices available out there, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery can prevent snoring. You might want to try this if you have some serious snoring problems.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
LAUP became popular during the 1980s when it was aggressively marketed as a so-called “cure” for snoring. It was first emloyed by Yves Victor Kamami, a surgeon of the Marie-Louise Clinic in Paris, France, on people who were of slender build. Early results seemed favourable, and studies of flawed methodology were published. Longterm follow-up information was omitted entirely. The practice of using lasers to address snoring became widespread. During the late 1990s, researchers (including Finkelstein, Schmidt and others) published data which demonstrated that in a considerable number of cases, laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty may also cause mild OSA in patients who formerly were nonapneic snorers, or lead to deterioration of existing apnea. These results are attributable to thermal damage inflicted by the laser beam.
