Coping With Sleep Deprivation

!: Coping With Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation is an epidemic which results in far too many accidents at home, at work and on the road. Plenty of sufferers are well aware of the cause of their fatigue but know nothing that can help other than sleeping pills. There are several natural methods of inducing good, restful sleep but it may require a change in lifestyle that most refuse to undertake. Unfortunately the refusal to take the natural solution may result in chronic or terminal disease for those stubborn ones.

The bottom line is this: we must have restful sleep. If mammals do not enter Stage IV REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, they cannot heal. Sleeping pills and anti-depressants might work for the short term but they prevent the brain from actually getting into the necessary sleep stage. There are very few pharmaceuticals that can help a person consistently get into the right deep sleep and there are far too many things that can prevent that stage of sleep.

The answer to real health is to do it all naturally, of course. The real question is what are you willing to do to be in good health? How far are you willing to go in the pursuit of good health? Would you find another job, move to a quieter area; sleep in a bedroom at the other end of the home? Changing the diet, the schedule, the environment and the habits might be necessary to finally get a good night's rest consistently. Turning off all electrical (especially wireless) devices at night will stop a lot of interference with brain patterns. That means plugging everything into a surge protector and turning the whole shebang off every night.

Going to a battery-operated or wind-up clock might be a good idea. It has been found that the glaring red numbers of a digital clock actually interfere with sleep. How close is your head to that digital electric clock? Electric blankets are another problem; they interrupt your entire body's electromagnetic field. Switching to a goose-down or substitute comforter will keep you warm without the health problems.

For those with limited funds the cheapest solution is a good pair of earplugs. Unfortunately some of us are so hyper-vigilant that we can hear through earplugs too. One solution might be to soundproof the bedroom or use a white-noise generator-just place it across the room, not near your head. For those with mates who shake the house with their snores...move to a bedroom far, far away. Get your mate checked for sleep apnea; they might need a CPAP machine (Constant Positive Air Pressure). They will thank you for it because they will actually feel rested upon awakening.

Whatever you do, please be aware that sleep deprivation is a serious problem that can reach out and touch every one of us. Do something about yours now, before you become a statistic or cause others to suffer.

Electric Blankets

!: Electric Blankets

Have you ever had an electric blanket? Some people are scared of lying on something that is plugged into the national grid and I have to admit that when I think of electric blankets in that manner, they do sound pretty frightening.

However, there are two kinds of electric blankets: there are those that are meant to stay on all night and there are those that are intended to be turned off and unplugged before you get into bed.

The second type is of course the one to be suggested for those of a nervous nature. I have never owned an electrically heated blanket, because my father said that they were for 'sissys', but I have slept in beds that made use of electric blankets.

When I stayed over at my maternal grand-parents' house or my Aunty Lil's there was always an electric blanket in the bed. My aunty used a pre-warmer and my grand-parents used the 'always-on' variety. As a young boy, I have to say that the 'always-on' variety of electric blanket was too warm for me.

However, in those days, in the Sixties, houses were not as draft-proof as they are now and I did not know anyone whose house was centrally heated or double glazed. In fact, everyone that I knew had to put an overcoat on the bed in winter if it got especially cold. It did not cross my mind that that was unusual, everyone did it.

The fact is that some individuals feel the cold more than others and there are many reasons for this ranging from frailty to age and sickness. Another reason for using electrically-heated blankets is if it is too costly to heat the whole house or bedroom. It is always going to be less expensive to heat a bed that it is to heat a bedroom. The cost of pre-heating a double bed is still pennies compared with using an electric fire.

Some individuals, my wife included, likes to keep the ambient temperature in the bedroom cold. OK, cold in Thailand is around 20c, but while we were in the UK, she insisted that we slept with the windows open in winter and it was really cold. She is not alone in liking to sleep in a warm bed while her face is cold. She says that she gets a better night's sleep in this way.

If you or a sick or old relative wants to try an electric blanket, be careful where you get it from. In saying this I mean be careful of purchasing a cheap electrically-heated blanket from abroad off eBay in case it is not made to run off the electric supply that you have in your country.

You also have to make sure that the blanket conforms to the health and safety laws in your country. Electric blankets are safe if you follow basic health and safety rules, but be wary of 'always-on' blankets if you eat in bed.
