Another option is
melatonin, a natural hormone
in which you may be deficient, that is available as a supplement.
Now there is a new
holographic adhesive chip that can be placed on the body to balance
the body's natural frequencies for bringing about deep sleep with no
substances taken into the body.
Ideally, adults
would sleep from 10 or 11 pm to 6 or 7 am.
We really should turn off
the "tubes" earlier. The TV and computer are not really relaxing.
It is best to shut them off an hour or two before sleep time.
Enjoyable reading, especially an inspiring work, or a pleasant
conversation, are good ways to wind down before bed.
Anyone who does not
get as much sleep as they need will have a deficiency. You cannot
operate at your best with sleep deprivation; and it can be a danger
to yourself and others if you are driving, operating equipment or
working with tools while tired.
You do not
successfully catch up on missed sleep by "sleeping in" on weekends.
To restore your diminished "sleep account", lengthen the time of
sleep at night. A 30 to 60 minute nap during the day can be
refreshing as well.
Children need a lot
of sleep. Many do not get enough and it effects them in various
ways.
According to survey
statistics, 40% of children in America don't go to bed at the time
they should for good health. Also, they do not perform well or
behave well when they are missing sleep. In many cases they lose
sleep because, due to their work schedule, one or both of the
parents keep a child up to spend some time together.
Children need good
sleep for proper brain and nerve development. Not only the amount of
sleep is important, but the timing of it as well. The body is
naturally oriented to sleeping during the dark hours.
The pineal gland is
like a clock, it sets its schedule by the sun. One of its functions
is to awaken one shortly after dawn. It can be unbalancing to try to
have a child's sleep schedule conform to what is convenient. If
children are overly tired, they may not wake up easily as they would
when properly rested.
Most babies need a
nap about 9 or 10 a.m., again around 1 p.m., and their bed time
should be around 7 to 7:30 p.m. It is a myth that a young child can
properly make up for a missed nap by going to bed early, or
compensate for a late bedtime by sleeping later in the morning. It
is best to follow the natural sleep rhythm.
A regular bedtime is
nearly as important as the quantity of sleep, but the latter is
crucial. From age 1 year up to about 6, a child should have 10 to 12
hours of sleep at night, with a nap during the day of 1 to 1 1/2
hours. From ages 6 to 10, 9 or 10 hours are appropriate. At least 9
or 91/2 hours are needed by children 11 through 14. However, by age
13, teens are only averaging 81/2 hours. For ages 15 to 17, 81/2
hours is a minimum, but by age 17 the average teen is only getting
7.3 hours.
Make sure that
children get to bed at an appropriate time. If you are
feeling guilty for not spending enough time with your child,
do what you can to rearrange your schedule to be available
during the child's proper waking hours. In any case, get
over any guilt about the situation. Establish a bedtime
routine for younger children: a bath, a short book, and
bedtime at 8 or 8:30 pm with no variance.
Difficulties
that need attention in regard to children's sleep are:
resistance to going to bed or getting to sleep; early
rising; awakenings during the night without returning to
sleep easily; and snoring, which is often a sign of sleep
apnea (temporary breath stoppage causing oxygen deficiency).
Some of the
problems arising from sleep deprivation in children include:
depression, moodiness, crankiness, hyperactivity,
aggressiveness, attention and memory problems, and poor
performance in school that can continue until adulthood.
37% of teenagers have sleep deprivation problems,
as do many adults.

Melatonin
Benefits
• Helps promote the body's natural sleep rhythm.
• Helps you feel more alert and rested after a night's
sleep.
• May help fight jet lag.
• Possesses antioxidant properties and many benefit the
immune system.
Melatonin Extra®—3 mg is an exclusive
formula containing melatonin, a natural compound produced by
the pineal gland (located in the center of the brain).
Melatonin is vitally important to health when you consider
three factors: aging, energy and sleep. As people age they
produce less melatonin.
Melatonin can help restore the body’s natural sleep
rhythm. Used as directed, it may help you feel more
alert and satisfied after a full night of rest. In addition,
mounting evidence shows that melatonin acts as a powerful
antioxidant, meaning it may benefit the body’s immune
system.
Each capsule of Melatonin Extra contains 3 mg of melatonin (derived
from non-bovine sources), combined with Ginkgo
biloba concentrate (standardized to 24 percent glycosides),
Ginkgo biloba leaves (may aid circulation to the brain),
eleuthero (a famous adaptogen known to have a calming effect
on the nervous system) and 30 IU (100 percent Daily Value)
of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol).
CAUTION: Melatonin should not be taken during the
day; it may cause drowsiness.
Recommended
Usage for Adults: Take 1 capsule 30 minutes prior to
bedtime.
