Internet Tools to Mediate Sleep Disorders
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung March 5th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP Gadgets, SLEEP News, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Therapy.
Technology has been known to provide us with solutions and sleep disorders are not about to be left behind. Using the medium of the Internet to determine the dysfunctional problems that we have to deal with before we get good sleep needs to be monitored and analyzed. Today, there is a new tool that is being psyched up to help transfer data to the specialists so that they can in turn help provide feasible answers on why people have to deal with sleepless nights.
The devices monitor body indicators during a patient’s sleep, such as blood-oxygen levels, nose airflow pressure and whether air passages are obstructed. They feed the information to specialists via the internet.
They are being trialled in the forehead of nasal masks already worn by patients with sleep apnoea, a common condition where breathing difficulties disrupt sleeping patterns.

0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung February 15th, 2008 in How to sleep better, Insomnia, SLEEP News, Sleep Apnea, Sleep Events, Sleep Therapy.
People who go on vacation to various destinations can now consider sleep retreat among the potential agenda for going there. This was apparently the whole concept launched by Dr. Reza Samvat regarding sleep retreat at the Domain Casuarina Beach Resort.
Obviously, this has been targeted towards the people who lack the proper amount of sleep or have been dealing with sleep problems like sleep apnea and insomnia. So if you cannot find proper cure from medication and therapy, why not make your break a sleep retreat session to get to the bottom of this problem.
Basing it on what has been reported, it is really something that will attract people, both sleep disorder patients and the people who simply want some adventure of a different kind.
“The three packages available offer an intense revolutionary program aimed at identifying the major areas contributing to the individual’s sleep issues,” Dr Samvat said.
“It makes the treatment and clinic more accessible to people with busy lifestyles as the packages are intense and concentrated so that results can be achieved in a shorter period.
“Sleep therapy packages are also ideal for the corporate market, such as business executives who lead a high-pressure working lifestyle. The retreat will assist them in re-balancing and improve sleeping cycles.

So this post maybe a bit different. While we all know that sleep is the number one victim of people who cannot afford to relax when it comes to business and investing. Indeed some people would forego sleep and lieu of devising new ideas to make up for faltering businesses.
Indeed, business problems will surely lead to sleepless nights. But one thing that they should perhaps consider is if they continue with it and abuse their body continuously, they may as well end up losing investments and health together.
What is your number one investment priority? Finding the next “hot” stock? Making huge profits? Making 10 percent a year on your money? If you found yourself nodding at any of these suggestions, you need to rethink your whole approach to money management. The number one goal of every investor should actually be to sleep comfortably at night. Simplistic? Sure! Personal finance expert Gordon Pape explains that if you adopt the sleep-easy philosophy as your basic credo, both your health and wealth will benefit. In this must-read book, Pape explains this investing philosophy and how it can be used by everyone to avoid the greed and fear traps.

MEDesign Bed Glasses

The proper sleeping position is usually lying down. Now there will be times where you would want to see what goes on around you, thus becoming a problem since you have to face that way to make sure you are aware of what is going on. Another thing may be wanting to watch television and normally we would be found in slanting positions until we lull ourselves to sleep.
The MEDesign Bed Glasses offers an innovative way of making sure we don’t force our backs so much and observe the proper laying position when we are in bed. Creepy as it may seem since we feel unorthodox viewing things from a position through these glasses, it is an effective way of observing sleep and our overall bed position.
Lying flat on your back due to acute back pain is not a joke Our prism glasses make the experience much more bearable They turn the world through 90º so that you can see your feet whilst looking straight ahead Watch TV, read books or just watch the world go by without lifting your head Made to high optical standards and can be worn over spectacles

A Reprieve for Sleep Deprived Patients
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 3rd, 2008 in How to sleep better, Narcolepsy, Sleep Disorders, Sleep Therapy.
We all know that sleep deprivation has been a going issue for most of us today and a lot of people, particularly the sleep specialists, are exhausting all means to find remedies connected with sleep deprivation problems today.
Apparently, some scientists from Wake Forest University have been able to determine another area of sleep deprivation. This largely deals with the brain secretions called Orexin-A. Whenever we are asleep, it usually follows that there are certain internal human body processes that occur and from the looks of it, this identified secretion of hypocretin-1 may yet help solve the growing issue of sleep deprivation and narcolepsy.
(Source) Orexin-A, also known as hypocretin-1, is a naturally occurring peptide produced in the brain that regulates sleep. It’s secreted by a small number of neurons but affects many brain regions during the day and people who have normal amounts of orexin-A are able to maintain wakefulness. When people or animals are sleep-deprived, the brain attempts to produce more orexin-A, but often without enough success to achieve alertness past the normal day-night cycle.
