Natural Liqueur May Help Solve Insomnia
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung April 15th, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, Insomnia, SLEEP News, Snoring.
Looking for the best means to help aid us in our sleeping problems can come in various forms. Some look towards the help of sleeping pills while other use the sleep masks to help make them sleep better.
Herbal remedies are known to help our health in more ways than one and apparently this herbal supplement categorized as a tea may be the right one for you. Known as Damiana liqueur, which tastes like mouthwash but is also known to be a love potion can help you secure that much needed sleep today.
This herbal supplement is commonly found as a tea and as a liqueur. A local shop owner told me that the majority of people use it as a sleeping aid though it is often marketed as a “love potion” (sex really does sell everything). She offered us a taste of the Damiana liqueur, which sort of tasted equivalent to the mouthwash Scope. Not bad, kind of minty and oddly sweet…I bet it packs one mean hangover.
The liqueur comes in a bottle shaped like a very voluptuous woman, a rather amusing homage to its reputed “benefits”. Taking large amounts of Damiana is said to “induce a mild sense of euphoria”. Mexican legend says that the first margarita was made with Damiana not tequila.

Sleep disorder victims can strike anyone. Notably married couples, not all partners have patience with regards to trying to put up with their partner’s sleeping problems which can go as far as breathing problems up to snoring. If you look at it, snoring can act as a stimulant for worst nights ahead as even the normal sleeper may start finding sleep issues since he or she cannot sleep soundly as they should be.
If you look at it, sleep problems pose as a web of problems if you check it out. One problem leads to another and may go as far as affecting the overall health of a person suffering from these sleep disorders. They just have to address the sleep problem so that it doesn’t get out of hand.
You’re not alone if feel like you need a nap at work. About 70 million of us have some sort of sleep problem according the National Sleep Foundation. And, many disorders go untreated.

The Oscars may have been finished and not all favorite actors or actresses came home as the winner. But as a form of consolation, most of the actors didn’t go home empty-handed. Most of them were given a special sleeping mask, the GLOtoSleep masks, to help assist them in sleep disorder problems that most may be suffering from.
It is a fact that most of these celebrities has had to deal with the said sleeping problems, bulk of which were caused by the excitement of possibly winning in the 2008 Oscars. While many had sleepless nights, for the celebrities with recurring sleep problems, this gift is indeed something worthy to help get back to their normal courses of sleep.
Recipients of an ongoing good nights sleep, courtesy of the GLOtoSLEEP™ mask, were Best Actor Nominees: George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones, and Viggo Mortensen; Best Supporting Actor Nominees: Casey Affleck, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Hal Holbrook and Tom Wilkinson; Best Supporting Actress Nominees: Cate Blanchett, Julie Christie, Laura Linney and Ellen Page and Best Actress Nominees: Ruby Dee, Saoirse Ronan and Amy Ryan. Cate Blanchett will get a ‘doubly’ good night’s rest, as she received two masks for being nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Directors Julian Schnabel, Jason Reitman, Tony Gilroy and Paul Thomas Anderson, as well as host Jon Stewart, are also in for a season of restful mellowness as recipients of GLOtoSLEEP™.

Sleep goes Beyond the Sleeping Pills
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung January 1st, 2008 in Health Issues, Sleeping Pills.
Don’t let new sleeping pills fool you. While many claim that they are the answer to your sleeping problems, most are bound to fall short of satisfying sleep solution expectations. There are desperate people out there and while most disregard the advice of most physicians and sleep specialists to follow the various practices to get better sleep habits, most sleepless people still believe that solutions rely heavily on the meds.
While sleeping drugs can be a good recourse, bear in mind that most medicine pills have side effects. Some may be enumerated but most of the effects that they have cannot be immediately recognized until the time comes when people actually use sleeping pills as sleeping aids to solve the sleep puzzle.

But newer, heavily advertised drugs like Ambien, Lunesta and Sonata don’t work much better than dummy placebo pills, according to a recent analysis financed by the National Institutes of Health.
On average, the newer drugs helped people get to sleep just 12.8 minutes sooner than placebos, the New York Times reported. Total sleep time increased by just 11.4 minutes.

The Pillows You Can Sleep On
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung December 25th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, SLEEP Psychology, Sleep Education.
So much has been said on how to sleep properly. Many have taken on the areas of beds and mattresses, sleeping positions and proper observance of sleeping hours. But there is still one area of sleep which many would never have thought would be of importance. And this area is the pillows we use to lay our heads on or simply cuddle to make us gain that longing slumber we always look for.
Most focus on other aspects of sleeping. For most, pillows don’t have much use when sleep is being tackled. But with this excerpt, perhaps people with sleeping problems may want to check out if pillows can make a difference the next time they sleep.
(Source) “I have back issues and neck issues,” says Jones, 46, of Selma, Calif. “I’ve gone through a gazillion pillows. The solution for me was a wedge and synthetic pillow. I put those two together, and that seems to help me the most.”
But what works for her won’t necessarily work for you. Pillows now come in a number of shapes. You also have several other options, from the materials that fill the pillows to the fabrics that cover them. But finding the ones that will fit your sleeping habits might require some sleepless nights.
“With pillows, there is a lot of personal testing,” says Jones, coordinator of Saint Agnes Medical Center’s Diagnostic Sleep Lab in Fresno, Calif. “What works for one person isn’t going to work for another.”
