When the insomnia that we are just not doing, just to quickly go to the "kingdom of Morpheus". And elephants believe, and sheep - and in the end still almost until morning to turn. That would be a universal cure for insomnia. But, unfortunately, it has not come up (if not take pills). But you can make yourself sleep through other effective methods of insomnia.

As we move into the New Year and make out our list of resolutions, be sure to add giving up your addictions. I'm not speaking of the hard drugs. I'm sure the majority of my readers aren't hooked on heroine or cocaine. Neither am I talking about drugs prescribed by your doctor. It's true that some of these may be addictive, or, at the very least, habit forming, but if your doctor has prescribed them and if they are working for you...

Improve Your Life with CPAP

Sleep apnea is a destroyer. In fact, if not treated and gotten under control, it can be deadly. But long before that it destroys your health, nibbles away at your life style, ruins relationships, causes poor performance at work and eventually takes away your ability to earn a decent living. In short, it sucks all the enjoyment out of your day to day activities. Even shorter: Sleep apnea sucks! This is why I find it so upsetting when...

Caregiving - Don't Forget Yourself

I've written a great deal about the suffering and stress of victims of a debilitating sleep disorder. Often other diseases or disorders are also present - arthritis, diabetes, chronic depression, to name a few. It's true that this is all hard on the patient, but often he or she is not alone in the suffering. How about the person who is responsible for his or her care? How about the caregiver? Sometimes this is a hospital, respite aid...

Diseases like diabetes and arthritis either appear or become harder to deal with. Broken bones take longer to heal. Minor ailments like colds and the flu take forever, it seems, to go away. Many of these health complaints can...

Help! There's a Cat on my Bed

I had to get up this morning at 2 AM to let my cats out. They have a perfectly good litter box, but would much rather use the great outdoors as a bathroom. I live in northern Canada. The temperature early this morning was close to twenty degrees below zero, too cold to leave my pets outside for four or five hours. I waited up. They must have done a bit of exploring because a half hour passed before they returned. Edith C. sleeps with...

Caffeine is a mild stimulant. It makes you more alert by fending off sleep. It's the most widely used drug in the world, and in contained in many foods and also in numerous stay awake medications like No Doz. Never forget, however, that...

Your Ticking Clock

Picture the human body as a big clock, or perhaps a conglomerate of clocks, all ticking in unison. All forms of life respond to the cycles of the sun, the moon and the changing seasons. This is called the biological clock, or, to use a more scientific term, the circadian rhythm. The word "circadian" comes from the phrase "circa diem", which means about a day.or twenty-four hours. Research has revealed that the body clock operates on a...
