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.

Leave it to hotels to do their part to help guests gain better sleep while traveling as Crowne Plaza Hotels takes the lead in introducing snore-proof rooms. The rooms promise to give guests better respite and sleep, made for couples who have sleep problems due to their partner’s snoring and vice versa.

A study revealed that half of the couples in the UK struggle to get a good night’s sleep due to snoring partner/s but the new hotel rooms should address all that. The rooms feature sound proofing on walls to absorb the loud the frequencies, a special sound absorbing head board, an anti-snoring bed wedge which acts as a body pillow, an anti-snoring pillow which uses magnets and a white noise machine which is proven to help drown out the droning snoring noise and help sleep and relaxation.

This development should be great for travelers who normally end up sacrificing sleep due to these snoring issues and of course the fatigue of being always on the go.

Sleep monitors are normally known to come in small devices, externally to make sure you don’t feel invaded as far as getting good sleep is concerned. Without obstructions, hard luck people who need all the help they can get would do well having a sleep monitoring device far from them.

But it looks like technology has done it again, coming up with a sleep shirt that practically does the same things. The Somnus Sleep Shirt features two sensors that keep track of an individual’s overnight breathing and in turn transmits it to a small data recorder which should help analyze the sleep problems people have to deal with.

Co-inventor Matt Bianchi, a sleep neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, thinks the Somnus could help patients suffering from insomnia, who often have difficulty determining how much shuteye they actually get.

In something surprising, one would think that a new mom would be having the problems of being able to adjust to their new life with a newborn in tow. But perhaps this would depend on your lifestyle when you were off without kids, something similar to the case of celebrity Lisa Loeb.

Her shift on giving her newborn, Lyla Rose, seems to have been better compared to before. Prior to being a mom, Loeb slept at about 3AM until 9AM. Apparently her new focus has improved her sleep problems for the better and with less stress as she embraces parenting while taking on minor roles like voice over gigs.

Obviously proud of her daughter, this is perhaps a unique instance where a mother has made a choice that not only helps her mature but likewise address sleep issues that soon-to-be mothers will be facing. A rare case but perhaps something others can look up to.

You can add another problem that you may encounter if you sleep poorly with rheumatoid arthritis. It seems that a study has proven that people who suffer from poor sleep are likely to suffer from RA or rheumatoid arthritis mainly due to pain and fatigue symptoms.

The study came from the University of Pittsburgh where based on information shared by patients, researchers found that 61 percent of participants were poor sleepers and 33 percent reported pain that disturbed their sleep at least three times per week.

The researchers say functional disability possibly may affect depression, pain severity, and fatigue, which in turn may affect sleep quality. However, it is also likely that sleep quality may worsen pain and fatigue and increase risks of depression.

Diagnosing sleep problems can be done with various sleep-monitoring gadgets but for the business sector, here is one device that promises to check if their employees are sleep-deprived or otherwise over fatigues.

The device is called the ReadiBand wrist-worn sleep monitoring device, the first solution said to produce medical-grade results in determining results of sleep quality, quantity and timing but at a fraction of the cost of an overnight stay in a specialist sleep clinic.

The device is being used by major international companies as we speak, to monitor fatigue and optimize operational safety. It is worn continuously like a wristwatch and runs on rechargeable batteries. It makes use of a series of algorithms to measure sleep quality from a user’s wrist movements, technically termed ‘actigraphy’.

Collected data is then wirelessly downloaded to a computer for analysis using the Nordic 2.4GHz ANT transceivers while the user is still wearing the ReadiBand after which the information is processed through a specialized performance prediction model.

And the final word is of course the diagnosis and taking on pre-emptive measures to help improve employee health and ultimately, work performance.

The idea does make sense and to back up their campaign, they have commissioned comedian Mike Birbiglia to lead the charge.

Why Birbiglia? Well the comedian has been known to have sleepwalking problems and he poses to be the best aid in informing the fans about the issues one has to deal with as far as sleep problems are concerned. The efforts come in time with the growing problem of sleep deprivation plaguing parts of the world.

It seems that a new discovery may help women get better sleep. Soy has been found to remedy and provide better sleep, thanks mainly to its estrogen-like compounds which should help post-menopausal women resolve their sleep woes.

The compounds are called isoflavones and have been known for testing against health problems which include the likes of menopause, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and increased body fat.

To investigate whether isoflavones might be beneficial, 38 postmenopausal women with insomnia were randomly assigned to take either 80 milligrams of the isoflavones or a placebo for four months. All of the study participants underwent polysomnography, which involves spending the night in a sleep lab.

This is deemed only temporary so for women who want to try it, don’t expect too much. If the results are to be analyzed, you will agree that this is something that is a temporary remedy, meaning you may have to look for something else to treat your sleep problems.

While the Spring does bring in a lot of good things, sleep is something that tends to be affected. No thanks to extended daylight, teenagers find themselves coping with the extended daylight exposure and hence incurring some sleep problems as supported by researchers over at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Lighting Research Center (LRC).

Over time when coupled with having to rise early for school, this delay in sleep onset may lead to teen sleep deprivation and mood changes, and increase risk of obesity and perhaps under-performance in school. The new findings detail the impact of early evening light in spring on melatonin onset and sleep times.

It has been a year now since the death of pop sensation Michael Jackson and it seems the doctor is to blame for his death. Joseph Jackson filed the wrongful death lawsuit last Friday at a federal court in Los Angeles against Dr. Conrad Murray.

Stated in the suit filed was the slow action taken by Dr. Murray in getting hold of medical services and giving the late King of Pop a powerful drug to address his sleep problems. Medical experts have said propofol should be administered in a hospital setting, and that it was highly unusual for Murray to give it to Jackson at his home.

While the occurrence is rare, brain damage has now been linked to potential sleep risks. This may not necessarily be surprising but with a back up from a sleep study, who unfortunately have to deal with traumatic experiences associated with their brain are likely to suffer from reduced amounts of melatonin and cause sleep problems.

Australian researchers found that:

• Healthy people produce more melatonin than do people with brain injuries during evening hours, when the chemical is supposed to rise to trigger sleep.
• Patients with brain injury spent less time in bed actually sleeping; that is, they had less “sleep efficiency.”
• Brain injury patients spent more time awake after first falling asleep.
• Brain-injured people spent more time in non-REM sleep.
• Patients with brain injuries had more symptoms of anxiety and depression.

All but 16 of the patients were women, and 75 percent were breast cancer survivors.

Here is something that sleep deprived workers are sure to applaud. Especially for the ones who have to adjust due to work shifts, this study made by Philip Tucker of Britain’s Swansea University should help you out. Using a large employment database, researchers looked at the relationship between shift work and sleep problems in workers of different ages and over time.

There is apparently a difference for the people in their 30s, 40s and yuppies. Workers who gave up shift work seemed to be a “self—selected” group who tended to have more problems with shift work. Sleep problems thus seem to be a “reversible consequence” of shift work although it may take a while after giving up shift work before sleep returns to normal.

Normally staying up late and lacking sleep due to video games is common but it seems weird how one can say they have less impact. At least that is what the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine bared in a study. There is little scientific data on the effects of video games on sleep.

To test the theory, researchers at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, recruited 13 males between the aged of 14 and 18 with no existing sleep problems. Those who played a relatively violent video game took only marginally longer to fall asleep than those who watched a relaxing nature documentary.

For anyone, sleep is important. With emphasis on the pregnant women and expectant parents, it would be advisable to get all the sleep you can get. Aside from potent health issues, lack of sleep may lead to small birth sizes, something that a study recently showed.

The study, which included 289 8-year-olds born healthy and full-term, found that the lower the children’s weight and length at birth, the greater their odds of having poor sleep or sleep disturbances such as sleep-related breathing problems or nightmares. What’s more, a mother’s prenatal drinking is a habit that can impair fetal growth and development was linked to a greater risk of childhood sleep problems.

This is how sensitive a pregnant woman has to consider. Sleep is perhaps the best thing that they can do at their current state, not only for them but for the child they are carrying. This is a good example to show that a child’s health and state would depend largely on how a mom would take care of herself during the pre-natal stages.

Treat sleep disorder and you can address the psychological issues that a person has. The type of sleep disorder and its impact on mental health vary by psychiatric diagnosis. But the overlap between sleep and psychiatric disorders is so great that researchers have long suspected both types of problems may have common biological roots.

Doctors have traditionally viewed insomnia and other sleep disorders as symptoms of depression and other mental health problems. But recent studies suggest that sleep problems may raise risk for, and even contribute to, the development of some psychiatric disorders. That means treating a sleep disorder may also reduce symptoms of a mental health problem.

Here are some sleep issues common today as reported by Harvard Health Publications:

• Depression: An estimated 65% to 90% of adults with major depression experience some kind of sleep problem. Sleep problems also increase the risk for developing depression.
• Bipolar disorder: During a manic episode, 70% or more of individuals experience insomnia or report less need for sleep. Studies suggest that insomnia and other sleep problems worsen before an episode of mania.
• Anxiety disorders: Sleep problems affect more than half of individuals with generalized anxiety disorder. Insomnia may also be a risk factor for developing an anxiety disorder, and can worsen symptoms or prevent recovery.

Following a regular bedtime routine and sleeping pattern can help a lot in the sleeping behavior of infants and maternal mood.

Results indicate that the establishment of a nightly bedtime routine produced significant reductions in problematic sleep behaviors for infants and toddlers. Improvements were seen in latency and sleep onset and in the number and duration of night wakings. Toddlers were less likely to call out to their parents or get out of their crib/bed during the night. Sleep continuity increased and there was a significant decrease in the number of mothers who rated their child’s sleep as problematic. Maternal mood also significantly improved.

According to the study, sleep problems are one of the most common concerns of parents of young children; approximately 20 to 30 percent of infants and toddlers experience sleep difficulties. Previous studies have found that successful treatment of children’s sleep problems with behavioral interventions also result in improvements in parental well-being.

“There is no question that maternal mood and children’s sleep impact one another. The better a child sleeps and the easier bedtime is, the better a mother’s mood is going to be,” said Mindell. “In addition, a mom who is not feeling tense, depressed, and fatigued is going to be calmer at bedtime, which will help a child settle down to sleep.”

Such is the problem of Kutcher as far as trying to sleep in the morning. No thanks to his neighbor’s construction crew which starts at 7:00 a.m., Kutcher has no choice but to try and sleep with the noise. And while he is trying to voice out his displeasure, it looks like his troubles must be resolved via another route.

Screenwriter Bruce Goldsmith, neighbor of Ashton Kutcher, has responded to the actor’s light-hearted video rant this morning (January 29), after he posted a video online calling Goldsmith a “jackass” for having workers building his house at 7:00am.

Goldsmith also pointed out that in Los Angeles regulations state construction can start at 7:00am and that the ‘What Happens In Vegas’ star “doesn’t want to deal with reality”.

It looks like Ashton better look for something else to resolve his sleep problems. It is the best alternative than nagging on something which he has no power on.
