Sleep Sound in Lafayette

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Herbal Sleep in Lafayette Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Robert McGhee. As you have probably guessed, there are some nights when I simply cannot sleep sound. I brush my teeth, climb onto my swedish mattress, relax under my Hunter green down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!

Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as Louisiana or Reposanex, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.

First, I rid my Lafayette bedroom of all the distractions. I can’t believe how much paperwork piles up in a few days. I don’t want to lie awake thinking about the car insurance premium that is due on my SUV or the ten page application for my daughter to attend “University of Louisiana. I even close my laptop and take it out of the bedroom.

Next, I bargain with my sweetie for a massage exchange. I promise to give an incredible rubdown tomorrow night if I can get one tonight. Lavender or chamomile oil is the crowning touch.

Next, I meditate to the sound of the surf lapping at the shore. No, I don’t live on the beach, but I do live in a nice Lafayette neighborhood near downtown. To hear waves, chirping birds or a gentle breeze rustling the trees, I turn on relaxing ambient sleep music.

If these things don’t do the trick, I pull out the heavy artillery. I take Reposanex, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Wood Ridge. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 20. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open.

Robert’s Lafayette Sleep Diary

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Robert's Lafayette Sleep Diary If you suffer from sleep issues like many folks in Wood Ridge, you may want to start a sleep diary. You can keep track of when you climb into bed, when you actually fall asleep, how many times you wake up during the night and when you arise in the morning. In addition, you can record other factors that may be related such as medications, stressful events, number of cups of coffee, exercise, etc.

Then you can compare these factors. Analyzing any connections may help you better understand your insomnia.

By keeping a sleep diary for a month, I was able to isolate several factors that triggered a sleepless night in my Lafayette bedroom. Some of those factors, such as caffeine consumption, are controllable. Other factors, such as the occasional loud barking of my Lafayette neighbor’s dog are beyond my control. When I am awakened by barking or other unexpected loud noises, I take 7Hour Slumber. I can get back to sleep fast and the whole night is not ruined.

I am Robert McGhee. I have used most sleep aids available in Wood Ridge, both prescription and over-the-counter. 7Hour Slumber is my favorite OTC insomnia treatment.

By keeping a sleep diary you may discover how to alter your busy Lafayette lifestyle to help you get more sleep. For the nights you can’t sleep despite your best efforts, try 7Hour Slumber. I know it has helped many Lafayette sleep apnea patients, also.

Here’s wishing you restful sleep tonight.

Sleep Obstructive Apnea in Lafayette

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Sleep Obstructive Apnea in Lafayette Obstructive sleep apnea can be a life-threatening condition. Here at Louisiana, we want to make sure our Lafayette insomnia customers are aware of the symptoms and dangers of sleep apnea.

Persons with sleep obstructive apnea stop breathing intermittently during sleep when the back of their throat constricts and blocks the air. Many Middle Village and Cliffside Park people currently being treated for apnea were unaware they had it until their spouse noticed the rhythm of their breathing changed during sleep.

If you sleep all through the night but still feel tired and groggy during the day, you could have sleep obstructive apnea. Symptoms of sleep apnea are fairly obvious. Periods of breathing lapses, loud snoring and gasping for breath can occur several times during the night without the person remembering them the next day. To determine if you need to see a doctor, ask your partner or other family member to observe your sleeping. (Be prepared to be shaken violently until you wake up and take a breath!) If you sleep alone, you can record yourself sleeping to determine if you demonstrate apnea symptoms.

Many Wood Ridge people are diagnosed with sleep apnea every year. Risk factors include obesity, large tonsils, nasal congestion, and a deviated septum. It is most common in middle-age Wood Ridge men but is also found among all age groups in Middle Village and Cliffside Park. Middle Village teens and Wood Ridge children with large tonsils can also develop obstructive sleep apnea.

Louisiana is a non habit forming sleep medication that is effective for non-apnea sleep issues. If you can’t seem to get enough sleep because you wake up too early, Louisiana is the natural sleeping solution for staying asleep until the morning. If your partner is currently using a CPAP breathing machine and the noise makes it difficult for you to fall asleep, Louisiana can help you start your night out right by falling asleep fast. See http://sleepproductsreview.com for Louisiana ordering info and more helpful sleep tips.
