Good Night, Sleep Tight
Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite
Remember bedbugs? We haven't heard much about them in the last few years. It was thought they'd been eradicated. Well, maybe. Or maybe they just went underground. Whatever the case, they're definitely back and they're striking everywhere - not just tenements and slum areas, but even luxury hotels.
Sleep Tight: Please!
It's no secret that most parents will do almost anything to get their child to go to sleep. Endless cups of water. Monster checks. Sing-a-longs. ANYTHING
Sleep and Cancer
New Study Suggests a Link
Lack of adequate sleep can cause or aggravate many diseases and illnesses. Why? Because sleep deprivation weakens the immune system leaving the body open to attack from germs, viruses and a host of other nasty little bugs. A recent study done at Stanford Medical Center indicates that there is a link between sleep and cancer.
The first of these, melatonin, is secreted by the pineal gland situated in the brain. Melatonin helps to regulate sleep cycles. Lack of sleep hinders the production of this vital hormone that not only aids in sleep but also helps control the anti-oxidants that promote cancer-causing mutations in the cells.
Melatonin also inhibits to some extent the production of estrogen, which is known to cause breast and ovarian cancers.
The hormone cortisol, which is released in the body during stressed or agitated states, has gained widespread attention as the so-called "stress hormone." But this hormone is more than a simple marker of stress levels- it is necessary for the functioning of almost every part of the body. Excesses or deficiencies of this crucial hormone are also lead to various physical symptoms and disease states.
Cortisol also helps to regulate the activities of the immune system and the cells that fight and kill cancerous cells.
Many other studies add to the weight of the Stanford study. It has been shown that shift workers are more prone to breast cancer.
More research is needed to further strengthen the knowledge about sleep and cancer. But it all adds up to one thing: Get plenty of sleep and stay healthy. Sleep deprivation can also shorten one's lifespan and encourages premature aging..

I was having alot of anxiety before sleeping and could not fall asleep. Had many many sleepless nights.
I was just playing with the program one afternoon and wanted to listen to the �Power Nap� track. Next thing I knew I was waking up! Fell right asleep without trying. After using the �Fall Asleep� track, I could fall asleep right away. But I didn't realize that I shouldn't be using that one all night. Switched to Whole Night and have been using it ever since.
I can go to sleep with ease now. I just lay and listen to the sounds and next thing I know I am waking up from a nice sleep. I don't suffer from lack of sleep anymore. I keep an IPod with earbuds next to my bed and take it ALWAYS when traveling. The earbuds help block out ambient noise and the sleep tracks keep me sleeping sound :)
Reboot your brain & sleep soundly again?
