Obstructive Sleep Apnea may very well be one of the problems that beseech people these days but if the medical experience by this lady who had been suffering from it is any indication, robotics may soon provide a big boost towards curbing down the sleep apnea problem a lot of people have.

Dorothy Bruhling, 75, had been having rough spells with OSA which may grow serious for some people if they are not careful. But thanks to some medical referrals, Dorothy was able to meet up with Dr. Robert DeFatta, an otolaryngologist who eventually suggested a surgical approach with the aid of the da Vinci robot to remove a discovered obstructive tissue that was interfering with her breathing.

After keeping Dorothy for two nights for observation purposes, she shared that after the surgery that she had not slept that good for two nights in a row.

“All patients after they heal feel so much better,” said DeFatta, who has performed more than 40 base of tongue resections. Bruhling was the first in Wisconsin, he added.

Normally, parents would have to place babies in the proper positions for body or head shaping purposes, or simply to make sure that infants get the ideal position that suits them most when it comes to sleeping. And all that may be satisfied by the Jolly Jumper Deluxe Sleep Rite Infant Sleep Positioner, something that costs around $18 over at Amazon.com.

However, while this sleep positioned does seem comfortable thanks to the fabrics and foam construction that make it up, it would be advisable for folks to still keep an eye on the child. Babies have their share of having limited movement and lacking in strength when they start tossing and turning. And for some cases, that may lead to suffocation if they are left unattended.

The Jolly Jumper Deluxe Sleep Rite Infant Sleep Positioner may seem neat to have for babies but parents should also know better that these aids aim to help kids sleep but not necessarily left on their own.

Going over some blogs, I found this curious post over at Tech Crunch. Presumably it seems to be something that was intended to be a joke, considering that the Tech Crunch HQ claims that sleep is not among the things that are in mind when working over there.

However, this brings us to think, sleep is indeed essential and although some may deny it, a few minutes of nap time does help in the productivity area, something shared by one of the commenters over there.

Everything started from a simple email with NapQuest on the subject. The whole thing seems to be an excerpt from special rooms designed for some people who work over 8 hours a day to take some nap or so.

While some may find it hilarious, on the health aspect, the request does seem reasonable. Either that or go home early. Then again, that would mean more pressure at work or allowing the company operations to suffer due to lack of work done for the day.

Bed sheets and sets would normally be a great way to aid in one’s sleeping endeavours but the Never Sleep Alone Bed Set may not necessarily do that. In fact, this bed set seems to be unadvisable for the kids who want to sleep soundly at night, no thanks to its creepy design which may lead them to sleeping somewhere else.

Anyway, the Never Sleep Alone Bed set offers an uncanny and weird design, featuring printed Zombie arms which may bring trauma to anyone afraid of the undead. On the other hand, for the people who live in the extremes and odd scenarios, a night light may eventually help negate such negative vibes.

The Never Sleep Alone Bed Set retails for about $138.55 over at Etsy. Weird but certain to be a hit with the ones who want to sleep on the wild side with some scary twists.

For the workers who may lack sleep and want to catch some Zzz’s at work, here is another pillow that should help you out when you want to take short naps during breaks.

The pillow should be perfect for the avid workaholic, something you can get for around $80. It features a paper case to make it look smarter than a standard pillow, perfect for those sleepy spells once employees are allowed to do so during breaks.

Here is another potential device that should aid you in your sleep problems. With the aid of an iPhone, all you need is the Lark Wristband and then you can hook it up to serve as an alarm clock, a sleep coach and a sleep monitor.

All these things were made possible through a micromotion sleep pattern sensor and makes use of a data tracking method called actigraphy to help measure people’s sleep patterns to reportedly about 85 to 95 percent accuracy.

All one has to do is download the Lark Up app from the iTunes store and the band’s hardware will automatically connect with your phone and update your sleeping habits onto your phone every morning

Lately we have been seeing a lot of devices that aim to wake you up but in a better way. And for the GEAR4 Renew Sleepclock, it goes way beyond simply going off and pulling you out of bed. The device also comes with a feature which measures your sleep and get you out of bed in a timely manner.

Of course you will need an Apple device like an iPod, iPhone or an iPad too. The device stands to educate one on sleep efficiency, helping you understand and adjust your sleep habits so that you are then able to chart out your sleep data over time in order to sleep better.

The GEAR4 Renew Sleepclock is set to come out this March and will run for about $199.95 a pop.

We all know how handy blankets are for people, especially the kids when bedtime comes. They are either used as an aid to fend off the colder climates or at times, used for some sort of security or something to hold on to help them go to sleep.

Normally, lucky kids would not go through the trouble of asking a blanket from their parents but for the less fortunate, here is a cause that deserves attention. Children anywhere in the world are given a free blanket each time a blanket is bought through Happy Blankie.

The cause was founded way back in 2008 by a 7 year old child named David Holdridge in an effort to entice donations for needy kids. The whole thing is not limited to blankets though. It also includes stuffed toys too. All this from a seven year old…Bravo!

Don’t look now but it seems that another area of concern tied up with the problem of sleep apnea seems to be that of deafness or hearing loss. The discovery was courtesy of a study from Japan, wherein sudden deafness was more likely traced to that of a previous diagnosis of sleep apnea.

Hence, it is advisable to have yourself checked for sleep apnea just in case you incur such sudden hearing losses. The bad part about it is on determining if sleep apnea treatment can also address the deafness issue.

It may be possible that sleep apnea, which is known to increase the buildup of plaque in blood vessels, could affect vessels in areas of the brain that control hearing, or vessels that feed the nerves responsible for hearing.

But it looks like the study needs more evidence to support the claim. Just the same, it would be best to go to a specialist to determine if deafness and sleep apnea are indeed tied up.

Athletes need to ensure that they are healthy and fully charged most of the time and sleep is a critical factor on being able to do so. Apparently some key things have been itemized by Yahoo Sports, most of which seem to be basic but otherwise important if any athlete would want to churn out 100% positive performance any day.

Among the ways mentioned include the following:

1. Go to bed and wake up early
2. Take daily power naps
3. Do light stretches before going to bed
4. Cut down on Caffeine

While these factors were reportedly aimed for athletes, normal people would be wise to follow them as well. As we see a lot of people trying to resolve their varied sleep disorder problems, these additional facts should as well be useful. Just make sure you don’t overdo the nap part ok?

Every now and then, people who may have experienced something bad or perhaps are in a bad mood would be normally told to sleep on it. But according to a study, it seems that such situations do have certain degrees. When an experience becomes truly tragic or traumatic, it is best to try and stay awake for the time being since sleeping on it may lock bad memories and in general, be emotionally harmful.

The folks over at the University of Massachusetts did such an experiment on 100 healthy adults. They were shown unsettling images and scenes initially which they rated. After about 12 hours, they them again, with about half of the group sleeping during the break while the other half did not.

The who stayed awake for 12 hours had a weaker emotional response to the unsettling images the second time around, suggesting sleep serves to preserve and even amplify negative emotions. Their memories were also weaker than those of their well-rested counterparts, as they struggled to remember whether they had seen the images before.

For the people who find themselves wanting to get some shuteye in odd areas, the Hi-Macs Sleepbox may be something bizarre and helpful you may come across with. The Sleepbox was designed by Casper Lohner, a unique piece of furniture that comes in an odd shape that will initially put you in doubt as far as the comfortable sleeping spells you may want to endure in.

The Sleepbox seems to be designed for public places. It is made of MDF fabric that is structured into an odd shape with the help of a vacuum membrane. As you will depict from the image above, comfort is pretty far off for people who want to get sensible sleep. But then again do remember that the Sleepbox was made to satisfy temporary sleeping spells for the people who want to catch some shuteye, a good idea considering that you don’t want to get caught sleeping for longer periods especially when you see one of these things in public.

Pillows will give you a good night’s sleep but for some, it may not always be the case. But with some tweaks and turns, pillows may yet bring the level of sleeping with pillows up a notch such as this one made by Innvo Labs.

The company has come up with a new prototype pillow that works for people who sleep in different angles. The trick was made possible through the inflating and deflating air chambers of the self adjusting robot pillow, something that should make it better for an individual to sleep.

Called the Intellipillow, it also comes with a pump that can be placed a couple of feet away from people to ensure no disturbance of whatsoever. The intelliPillow is however still in the works but word has it that it will cost around $250 to $300, unofficially.

GEAR4 has announced that they will be coming out with a new iOS accessory called the Renew SleepClock in the U.S. by March, 2012. And while the price tag of $199 seems a bit steep, wait until you check out the features it comes with which should make it a whole lot reasonable.

This includes two sensors that will monitor breathing and movement which should help log sleep cycles for people who want to monitor their sleep.

The monitoring is done through a non-contact sensor which aside from monitoring will also determine when users are asleep to wake up people at the right time. Other features include a fading playlist, multiple alarm chime settings and an app that will monitor a person’s sleep patterns. With sounds from the radio, iPod playlists, or even gentle and calming sounds are all available.

Babies need proper sleep but pollution, both air and noise, may hinder a child’s well-deserved sleep at times. However, thanks to designer Elodie Delassus, the Cocoon Baby Pillow may be a big help towards addressing such concerns, one that should help keep out the loud noises and maintain the proper breathable air for babies at any time.

The Cocoon Baby Pillow features an advanced state-of-the-art technology to go with a HEPA air filtration system.

Still wondering why a good night’s sleep makes a big difference? Well, perhaps this keynote from Jessa Gamble can somehow brief you on the reason why. Health is an immediate answer for this of course but if you want a more straight-to-the-point explanation, one of the things that will be affected is your body clock.

Sharing her research with some folks, Jessa bares how quality rest time is a key element to productivity and more importantly one’s health.

Jessa bares that the sleeping patterns of people living in environments without any artificial light at all experience true wakefulness during non-resting hours due to the high quality of sleep they get in the evening.

Hence, Jessa Gamble appeals to her audience and concerned readers that in a time of 24-hour business days, longer work periods and night shifts, we should somehow offset the damaging effects these instances would have on our body.

The Holidays or the season for drinking and feasting may be over but this doesn’t mean the drivers who may eventually find themselves a bit sleepy on the roads are over. And to welcome the new year, here is something neat from Japanese company Juki, something you can mount on the driver’s seat whose intent is to alarm the driver in cases where he is about to doze off.

The solution is called the Anti-Sleep Driver Seat Sheet or the Sleep Buster. It does the trick by measuring the signals from the heart and aorta through a built-in sensor.

A piece of software called “Human Tachometer” then visualizes the condition of the driver on a controller.

The Sleep Buster is set to retail next month, priced at about US$2,000 in Japan. This includes the controller, sheet and the power module. No word yet of a U.S. release.

Just like round the clock workers, police personnel have their share of working on shifts as well. The study consisted of police officers participating in either an online or an on-site screening (n = 4,957) and monthly follow-up surveys (n = 3,545 officers) between July 2005 and December 2007

The study revealed that about 40.4% of the participating cops were found positive for the said sleep disorder. 33.6% of that were found positive for obstructive sleep apnea and 6.5% suffering from insomnia.

Apparently the shifting issue can be singled out as the culprit. A change in the regular body clock does have dire effects and from the looks of it, even the cops are not spared. Let us hope though that the margin for error does not get imperiled by all of this too.

When it comes to sleeping on the side of bed, it seems that there is more than choosing which side to sleep on when couples are concerned. While most partners have their own setup on which side to sleep on, studies show that sleeping on the left side account for a happy and stress-free life.

Apparently a study showed that people sleeping on the left side responded that they were calmer than others who found themselves in crisis.

Those sleeping on the bed’s right side more often tend to wake up in a bad mood, the survey found, adding that people who prefer the left side of the bed tend to have more confidence and are more likely to be in permanent employment than those preferring the right side.

The survey was done by the Premier Inn. Taking into account the study, would you now change the side where you would be sleeping (assuming you are on the right side of course)?

There seems to be a lot of stuff tied up with sleep, things that occur without one even recalling it. There are some who sleepwalk, some who talk in their sleep and of course some who may even wet their bed. But have you heard about having sex while asleep and waking up without having a clue on the whole ordeal?

Well it seems this thing has been happening. Called Sexsomnia, this is said to be a form of parasomnia discovered in the 90s. Sexsomnia is said to be something that would occur after a few hours when a person is already in a deep state of slumber.

Apparently, the reason behind the failure of people to recall it is because the cortex that judges and makes decisions is switched off. But the back of the brain where we feel basic urges like hunger or arousal still works – as per London professor Matthew Walker.

So how do you avoid it? Here is Prof. Walker’s advice:

No noise or light in the bedroom, no caffeine after 4pm, no alcohol before bed and try to get enough sleep. Try therapy or antidepressants if stress is a factor.

“During REM sleep, memories are being reactivated, put in perspective and connected and integrated, but in a state where stress neurochemicals are beneficially suppressed.”

Apparently it all boils down to the dreams you get when you sleep, something that cannot evidently hurt you.

To study this, researches split 35 people into two groups. They showed each the same emotion-triggering photos, then allowed one group to sleep. They showed each group the photos again. The electrical brain activity of each group was recorded with electroencephalograms (or EEG), including during sleep.

Those who slept showed a decrease in activity in the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that processes emotion.

Sounds neat ey? Well, the next time you break it off with your mate or are troubled for some reason, sleep on it. Maybe the dreams can ease the burden and pain out of it!

The dose of Intermezzo is 1.75 mg for women and 3.5 mg for men. The reason for the different doses is due to the slower clearance rate in women. The standard dose of Ambien for sleep is 5-10 mg each night.

The new sleeping pill should help out people who wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time going back to sleep. It has already been evaluated via two clinical trials and was reportedly proven to be effective. However there are side effects and these include headaches, nausea and fatigue.

Be warned as well that Intermezzo should not be taken along with other medications. Further, it should not be combined with alcohol too.

In case you get the chance to come across it, be guided that you will need prescription to get one. And lastly, if ever you do try it out, do make sure you don’t grow dependent on it. One pill reportedly costs between $2 to $3, a bit expensive for people who may be planning to try it out.

A lot of people such as the fans and the family of Jackson cheered the verdict, some even singing to the tune of ‘Beat It’ too. And while Murray kept his poker-face stance all throughout, it makes you wonder; what if Murray did not administer those large dosages? What if Jackson continued to suffer to this day insomnia or worse, die from it eventually?

This is looking at the different side of the case. This is not in defense of Dr. Conrad Murray but more of looking at what would have happened if it was the other way around. Jackson may have lived a bit longer but may eventually succumb to the sleep problem which was said to be pretty much serious.

So in the end, Murray or any other hired physician hired by Michael would have been convicted too for being neglectful.

But just the same, the dosage issue of propofol is really the main issue here. And while Murray claims that he gave only a small amount to Michael who had complained of struggles to prepare for his shows, one can only wonder how “small” that amount was.

All is water under the bridge as Jackson is dead. But for Dr. Conrad Murray who stands to lose his license, a tight watch has been made on him. Why? The last thing that people would want to see is seeing a convicted doctor putting himself to permanent sleep as well.
