Sleeping Well Every Night

Who would have thought that how much we sleep could turn out to be a coronary artery risk factor which is as important as smoking or high blood pressure? In fact, you can be an avid marathon runner, health food nut, gum rat, non-smoker, non-drinker and even a relatively stress-free lean person but still suffer due to getting less-than-adequate sleep.

One such person was Ranjan Das, a young and popular chief executive officer in India and a fitness buff.

He suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 42. He seemed to have done everything right but sleep—getting only 4-5 hours a night when he really needed more.

Evidence has shown that there's a link between lack of sleep and heart disease.

Studies have documented the following:

• Sleeping fewer than 6 hours a night has been linked to an increased risk for high blood pressure by 350-500% compared with those who slept more than 6 hours a night.

•  Young people (25-49 years of age) are twice as likely to get high blood pressure if they sleep less.

• Individuals who sleep less than 5 hours a night have a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks.

• Middle-aged women who slept for 5 or fewer hours a night had a greater chance of suffering heart attacks than those who have 8 hours of sleep.

• Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of C-reactive protein, the strongest predictor of heart attacks and other substances that reflect active inflammation. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stay high.

• Just 1 night of sleep loss increases toxic substances in the body that increase risks of many illnesses such as cancer, arthritis and heart disease.

According to Professor Francesco Cappucio, who co-authored a report published in the European Heart Journal, "If you sleep less than 6 hours per night and have disturbed sleep, you stand a 48% greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease and a 15% greater chance of developing or dying from a stroke. The trend for late nights and early mornings is actually a ticking time bomb for our health so you need to act now to reduce your risk of developing these life-threatening conditions."

Sleep deprivation is on the rise worldwide due to easy Internet access, a growing number of TV channels, financial worries and longer working hours. All these distract us from going to bed early, but it is important that we get our restorative 7-8 hours of sleep every night.

Here are a few basic good sleeping habits to practise:

• Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

• Use your bed only for sleeping.

• Go easy on alcohol and caffeine—avoid nicotine.

• Exercise in the morning or late afternoon.

Get The Most Out Of Your Sleep

If you have trouble falling asleep or getting deep sleep, try a natural sleep supplement, such as Rilax to help regulate your sleep.

Rilax helps you experience a rejuvenating night's sleep, so that you wake up feeling recharged and re-energized.

Darren Atkinson 'Datguy', a radio announcer and news presenter with a local radio station shares, "Switching off and resting can be difficult at times due to my busy lifestyle. However, Rilax helps me to relax and gives me restful sleep when I really need it. With Rilax, I feel fresh, rested and alert the next day and ready to take on another busy day."

Another user, Sherilyn Wong shares, "My lifestyle as a real estate consultant can be very hectic. I often end up sleeping late and having to wake up early. Sometimes when I sleep, I find that my brain is still active and there are a lot of thoughts running through my mind.

"On some mornings, I wake up feeling tired rather than well rested.

"However, I find that Rilax helps me calm down before bedtime and although I only have a few hours of sleep, I'm able to wake up feeling well rested and refreshed."

Classified as a food product by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, Rilax contains 2 proven and award-winning ingredients:

• Lactium: a naturally-occurring peptide found in milk protein that has relaxing and calming properties. Lactium mimics the properties found in mother's milk, thus inducing the same state of calm that a baby enters after a feed.

• Green tea extract: rich in L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea leaves that promotes an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness.

Taken an hour before bedtime, Rilax's all-natural ingredients work well to improve sleep quality, particularly those that are stress-related, are safe, non-habit-forming, have no side effects and does not cause grogginess when you wake up.

Reasons To Sleep More by Anubhav Kapoor

We all know how a good night’s sleep makes us feel energetic, inducing a typically refreshed feeling. However, there is a lot more to a good sleep beyond these very palpable advantages. Unless you are someone who sleeps throughout the day, it is recommended that you try to catch a few hours of extra sleep whenever possible. The following will help you understand why sleeping more is so beneficial for you:

1. Helps to Regulate Weight

Sleep deprivation is major reason of weight gain across people of all ages. Lack of sleep impairs our metabolic functions. It reduces the rate at which we burn calories. It also makes us feel hungrier. This creates a mechanism where our body is more likely to store carbohydrates and fats. Lack of sleep is known to induce hunger pangs. People who feel un-rested are more likely to feel irritated. They often seek solace in beverages with high-sugar content. The sugar spike makes them feel better for a short while and they often become addicted to this pattern.

Insufficient sleep also affects the hormonal functions. It triggers the release of cortisol—this is our basic stress hormone. When stress hormone levels are raised, we tend to suffer from hunger pangs and levels of Leptin hormone tend to decline. This is a natural appetite suppressant. Without sufficient Leptin, the level of Ghrelin hormone rises. This hormone has an appetite-stimulating effect. People suffering from a combination of these factors are prone to snacking throughout the day, drinking more caffeine or tea and binging upon sugary foods. Thus, their propensity to gain weight is a lot more.

2. Raises Your Mental Performance

Our mind needs to process information it has received in the form of visual, auditory and other stimuli. This is done during sleep. This is when the brain recuperates. This ensures that we are able to remember, recall and understand things. Even dreaming patterns are related to the thoughts buried in our sub-conscious. Thus, getting sufficient sleep is vital for our mind to function properly. It is widely acknowledged that people are at their creative best when they have a good sleep. Proper sleep ensures that we are more insightful and can understand things a lot faster.

3. Ensures Better Cardiovascular Health

Apart from the bulging waistline caused by lack of sleep, people suffering from sleep deprivation are known to suffer from hypertension—an established cause of cardiovascular diseases. Greater concentration of stress hormones are the underlying cause of many cardio problems. This includes arrhythmias or irregular heartbeat patterns. Sleep apnea or lack of sufficient oxygen during sleep has been linked with Type 2 Diabetes which is a major cause for heart diseases.

4. Raises Immunity

Quality of sleep and our overall immunity are directly related. This includes our ability to fight-off common infections like flu or common cold. Poor sleeping patterns tend to lower the synthesis of antibodies. Medical research has linked this with the increased risk of developing colon and breast cancer.

5. Improves Our Overall Quality of Life

Healthy sleeping patterns ensure that we are less prone to getting anxious or stressed. It helps us take upon day-to-day activities with more vigor. These are direct contributors towards feeling good throughout the day. With a calmer mind, more physical energy, mental clarity and less chances of falling ill, we feel much better. This helps to raise the libido levels too and impairs the progression of aging-related health issues. (Health, MensXP.com)

The end of your sleep deprivation

If you sleep like a baby all night, every night then I’m sorry, but this message is NOT for you!

But if, like me you have ever suffered from insomnia or any other form of sleep deprivation, then I know what you’d give for a good night’s sleep…

** Just about anything, right? **

The endless hours staring at your bedroom ceiling...the thoughts and worries that play full volume in your head and just won’t leave you alone...shuffling aimlessly around the house waiting for sleep to come … trying to cope the next day when everyone else is wide awake and refreshed...

Only to return to bed, exhausted, and STILL not get a good night’s sleep.

Chronic insomnia or persistent sleep deprivation really is a waking nightmare. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.

I’ve spent fortunes trying various ‘cures’ over the years.

Nothing ever worked.

Until I got chatting to self-help author and guru Bradley Thompson and found out that he too used to suffer from insomnia.

What’s more, he claimed to have found a cure and to be sleeping the sleep of the just ever since. And he found it by accident!

He told me about his remarkable discovery. This cure is based on a radical new use of a fairly old technology, discovered by a German research scientist way back in 1839. I must admit, if it hadn’t been for his credentials, I would have thought the guy was NUTS for thinking that this could apply to insomnia.

“Yeah, right!” I thought.

Still, I agreed to try it. Like I said, I would have tried anything.

You know what? IT WORKED! And, much to my delight and surprise it has WORKED EVERY NIGHT EVER SINCE!

If you’re a sufferer, you should be dancing on the table right now, because THIS IS THE REAL DEAL – a permanent cure for your sleepless nights.

It is 100% safe, 100% effective, does not involve taking drugs and – this is the bit I like! – requires absolutely *NO* effort on your behalf at all.

I’ve got my life back! I’d love to think I can help someone else get theirs back too. Check out Bradley’s site here.

Sweet dreams!
