Add another potential hazard if you have been losing sleep. Aside from your health, it looks like you have to deal with hair loss as well. This was bared by a hair loss clinic in Britain, the Belgravia Centre. Sleeplessness apparently affects the body’s immune function, hormone secretion, and physical and mental stamina.

With this, it is apparent that the list of effects that sleep loss can only grow. Hair loss may be hereditary but can also be attributed to other factors, that of which in this case is stress and sleep loss.

It seems that there is a link between Fibromyalgia and sleeplessness and this has been exposed at this month’s Fibromyalgia Aware Magazine. Tryptophan in Total Sleep from FluidEssentials, Inc. has been found to be responsible for resolving low serotonin levels. The body’s sleep cycle begins as night falls, when the brain naturally converts Tryptophan to serotonin. Serotonin then coverts to melatonin, and melatonin induces sleep.

Total Sleep is a water-soluble health supplement that gently induces sleep and reduces anxiety by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Its primary ingredients are Tryptophan, GABA and magnesium. It’s available in apple and cinnamon flavored stick packs, and is designed to be mixed in 4-6 ounces of water. Total Sleep can be found online or at local drugstores just in case you want to get hold of it.

The continued journey towards finding a reasonable solution for sleep-related patterns continues and this time around, it is Zeo’s (formerly Axon Labs), turn to try and track sleep patterns and determine if there are sleep disruptions or disorders that can be addressed.

Zeo is based on a headband that tracks your sleep patterns via a sensor that monitors electrical signals from your brain. The headband transmits data wirelessly to a bedside display, where it’s stored on an SD card.

The sleep information can then be uploaded to the “myZeo Personal Coaching” Web site, where the beauty begins with concepts such as a personal sleep score or “ZQ;” information on the “7 Sleep Stealers;” and a full “7 Step Sleep Fitness Program.” The site notes that sleeplessness “is now the third biggest health complaint in the world after headache and cold, and there are currently over 80 known kinds of chronic sleep disorders.”

Now how is that for a new way to figure out the sleeping issues that people are experiencing. Surely, this is one gadget that people will want to check out.

Randy Gardner still holds the world record for 264 hours of sleeplessness as a 17 year old kid back in 1964.

Randy Gardner holds a Guinness world record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964, as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days) with the help of friends, TV reporters, and shooting hoops. On his final day without sleep, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words and in general appeared to be in excellent health. “I wanted to prove that bad things didn’t happen if you went without sleep,” said Gardner. “I thought, ‘I can break that (Peter Tripp’s 1959) record and I don’t think it would be a negative experience.’” Sleep experts now believe that such sleep deprivation stunts are dangerous
