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.

Soldiers are susceptible to trauma, something that is easily traced to the environment that they are normally exposed to. Apparently a lot of soldiers have become casualties of war, reaching an extent to which many call as them possibly reaching a “cuckoo” state which perhaps only military personnel can easily adapt to.

But if this new program called the Power Dreaming project pushes through, then soldiers may yet get the help that they need. This is actually another form of bio feedback mechanism that aims to counteract nightmares which are prevalent for combat veterans.

The hope is that these “power dreams” can be watched from laptops and “home training and 3-D goggles work to gradually enhance the strength of these new neurological images,” according to the presentation that outlines the program’s aims.

Sort of reminds you about the Inception movie a bit eh?

Television has been used by some parents to help get their kids to sleep. Watching cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny or Spongebob Squarepants do seem harmless. In fact they are hilarious and keep the kids occupied, not to mention happy. However, a sleep study proves otherwise and point to these late night TV shows are potentially violent en route to kids getting nightmares.

A new sleep study out of the Seattle Children’s Research Institute shows wee ones between the ages of 3 and 5 experienced more nightmares, tiredness during the day and trouble waking up when they watched violent shows or when they were on the computer or watching TV after 7 p.m. This was reported at Good Morning America.

The researchers went through sleep diaries kept over a week from parents who took note of their child’s sleep patterns and behaviors. Watching TV or using a computer on an average of 73 minutes per day with seemingly harmless cartoon characters account for violence.

For the parents, you may want to rethink your sleep strategy for your kids. They may be causing more harm and trauma rather than help for your little one/s.

The name could use some work but considering that Aswagandha is an Indian herb to help you sleep, it is not surprising why weird and hard to remember herbs are bound to have some medical benefits. Aswagandha is actually a scientific term for Withania somnifera and induces sleep for people suffering from insomnia. It calms the body and mind thus leading to eventual slumber.

Aswagandha’s odour is not palatable. It smells like a horse’s sweat. But its health benefits range from fighting insomnia to improving fertility levels, and from controlling diabetes to keeping epilepsy under check. It improves the muscles, fights fatigue and brings down the levels of trauma and suffering.

You can add another issue to highlight among teens if they lack sleep. A study showed that lack of sleep could become a high risk issue for teens who lack sufficient shuteye. Teens who go to be after midnight are more likely to experience depression, especially the ones who get less than 5 hours of sleep. Worst, 50% of those sleep-deprived teens may even commit suicide!

Doctors recommended that parents remove television sets and video games from teenagers’ rooms to help them get nine hours of sleep each night. Make sure they get sufficient sleep to avoid falling into these sleep issues and trauma.

For some movies like suspense and horror film, there would usually be an advice with regards to the allowable age as to who can watch them. Apparently, no sane parent would want his or her child watching these things, no matter how fictitious they may be or reincarnated the scenes are. But the real deal here is that it may continue to haunt them when they sleep.

We have always believed that our subconscious selves stem from what we experience or see. For kids, it is the same thing. Some may become terrified and develop trauma, especially if they sleep alone. In the course of their growth and development, it can become a bearing and is a burden that they would bring up to their elderly ages.

So as much as possible, avoid the gruesome movies for now for your kids. There is the right time to show it to them and apparently you, as a parent, would know when that right time would be.

Apparently, parenting can be a nuisance if you don’t know how to handle your kids and get them to bed on time. Especially if they have these distractions such as computer games, gadgets or even have friends over, chances are even you may lose sleep with all the racket that they may be making. So how do you deal with them?

The key is to set some rules when its time to hit the sack. No playing of games or even placing them outside the room towards a neutral place in your home would be nice. Also, the usual lights out can always do the trick as kids constrained in the dark can force them to sleep as they have nothing else to do to distract them.

Some kids may have nightmares from trauma from these practices. But you can do some things to turn them into dreams. Just set your rules and stand by them. It may be hard for parents with soft-hearts but health and good sleep is bound to be the best result to negate all of it.
