Your Health: Avoid the 5 Sleep Zappers to Enjoy Deeper Sleep!

As we age and our bodies and hormones change, so does the quality of our sleep. If our sleep is altered, our productive mental and physical energy during the day is working 40% less than capacity.

The 1st step you can take in achieving healthier deeper sleep is to avoid these 5 biggest sleep killers:

SLEEP KILLER #1. Taking long, late afternoon naps. OK -- you may be so tired you're falling into your coffee or tea and you need toothpicks just to keep your lids open. Keep in mind, taking a daytime nap after 4:00pm will make falling asleep that night that much more difficult because it reduces your homeostatic drive to sleep. In other words, you put havoc on your body's clock. So, when it comes time to go to bed, you aren't sleepy enough to enter zzzzzland.

SLEEP KILLER #2. Often called the "alcohol and cigarette cure". Many people with sleep problems smoke a cigarette or drink a glass of wine before they turn in, hoping it will help them relax. Alcohol may help you fall asleep at first, but it will cause you to wake up during the night. Nicotine is a stimulant, and keeps you wide-awake andn stimulated long after you wish you'd fallen asleep.

SLEEP KILLER #3: Eating or drinking late at night. Our digestive systems don't react well to round-the-clock munching. Having a midnight snack could cause you hours of restless misery later. Try to keep your supper light, and eat no later than 3 hours before bedtime.

SLEEP KILLER #4: Caffeine. Not surprisingly, caffeine isn't just in coffee anymore. Caffeine levels are super-high in energy drinks such as: Red Bull, as well as teas, chocolate and diet supplements.

SLEEP KILLER #5: Watching TV late into the evening. Worse some people watch the late night News containing stress and negative energy and wonder why they feel uptight and can't fall asleep. Some people assume background noise such as: TV or radio - can help them fall asleep more easily. That's not so! Sleeping with music playing or the radio on actually overstimulates the senses, which makes sleep more difficult.

Keep an eye, in future blogs, there will be suggestions of what foods to eat/drink to improve the quality of your sleep.

To your health!

Your Biz: Finding YOUR Niche?!?!

Stuck for Good Ideas for Niches?
Here Are Some Idea Boosters!

Everyone, absolutely everyone, has a special interest... a passion. Everyone knows something that is of value to others. Something that others on the Net seek.

Passion makes work fun and easy.

What is it that you love to talk about?
Read about?
A hobby?
What do you do for fun and games?
What are your natural talents? Write these down.
Don't forget to look right under your nose.
What special body of knowledge have you learned from your job? What do you do day after day, without even thinking about it (ex., child-rearing, taking care of sick parents, renovation contractor, customs inspector).
Could any of these activities, areas where you have developed knowledge (without even thinking about it), be of value to others? Yes?...
Great! Write these down.

Think about what you do in a typical day, and what you've learned from it. What sections of a book store or a magazine shop do you automatically gravitate toward? What kind of TV shows do you tend to like most? Movies?
Write these down, too.

What activities do you enjoy most about your current occupation?
  • Is it research?

  • Helping customers achieve their goals?

  • Managing other people?

  • Teaching or explaining things to others?

  • Talking/selling on the phone?

  • Organizing things?

  • Making a process easier?

  • Discovering or creating new products or services? Marketing products?
    Yes, you guessed it! Write these down.

Problems are also a good source for ideas because problems need solutions!

  • What bugs you? What's tedious?

  • What does not work?...
    We all encounter obstacles, problems, nasty people in the course of whatever it is that we do every day.
  1. What are the three biggest problems in your work place?

  2. What are your biggest pains as a parent, or as a step-parent, or as a gardener (etc., etc.)?

  3. Do you have solutions to these problems?

Would they be of value to a lot of people? Yes? Yippee! Write these down!

To paraphrase an old saying... "You've forgotten more about some things than other folks will ever know." Call friends. Ask your kids. Phone your parents or your siblings and anyone else who can jog your memory. It's so easy to miss what others see. Need a few seeds to fire up that old thinking cap? Here are a few examples of "starting points" to get your neurons firing...

  • Advertising
  • Aerospace
  • Agriculture/farming
  • Antiques and collectibles
  • Apparel/clothing/fashion
  • Architecture/buildings
  • Arts & crafts
  • Auctions
  • Automotive

    And these are just the general categories! Think about sub-categories of these and about sub-sub-categories.

Your Inspiration: Poem "CAN'T"

Written by Edgar A. Guest ~

Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day
It rings in our ears like a timely sent warning
And laughs where we falter and fall by the way.
Can't is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and halfhearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision,
And mocks at the hopes and dreams of a man.

Can't is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all your hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror;
And all that you dream of you someday shall gain.

Can't is the word that is foe to ambition,
An enegy ambush to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission,
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying,
And answer this demon by saying: "I can."

Your Health ~ Supa Dupa HONEY!

IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH,
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE!
For over 5000 years, people have been using the beehive as a medicine cabinet,
  • Reaching for honey to treat wounds,
  • Propolis to cure colds,
  • Bee pollen for energy,
  • Royal jelly for mental clarity and
  • Bee venom to treat auto-immune illnesses.

During my recent visit to the bee farm, I learned a lot of great beneficial useable information. There are 5 STAR health products.

If you are complaining of lack of energy in any way, you definitely want to read the following information and find a bee farm near you.

Bee Pollen is the male reproductive material of plants used by bees to feed their lavae. People use bee pollen as a multi-vitamin and/or to build up a resistance to air borne allergies. It's the best form of B-vitamins and 100% absorbable by your body. If I don't take this product first thing in the morning I can feel the difference all day - I highly recommend this to you and your children! It tastes a little like earthy hay and melts in your mouth...much better tasting than royal jelly.
Also,
if you wish to overcome allergies, eat bee pollen in the fall and next spring you will be mostly immune to the pollen in the air. (of course the bee pollen needs to come from flowers that grow in your city/area)

Propolis is tree resin mixed and bee-produced enzymes, used to protect the bee hive from bacteria, fungus and viruses. People use propolis as a remedy for colds and influenza, and also to build up the immune system. Unprocessed honey, naturally has some propolis in it. There is a specific type of honey called "Manuka Honey" that comes from New Zealand, that has been proven by Dr. Peter Molan to stop the growth of bacteria that causes or contributes to stomach ulcers and dyspepsia, it's active against gastrointestinal bacteria ie. E-coli and Streptococcus faelcalis and it is exceedingly effective in preventing or curing fungal and bacterial infections when applied topically to infections.
(I bought some too)

Honey is plant nectar that is dehydrated and people often use it as a sore throat remedy and for healing wounds. The best form of honey is completed unheated or processed honey like comb honey. (Oh so good - when fresh it's amazing) Raw unpasturized honey is a brilliant alternative to sugar. It contains digestable simple sugars, small amounts of pollen and propolis. This amazing spread is highly concentrated source of many nutrients, inlcuding enzymes, minerals and vitamins ie B-complex vitamins, C, D and E vitamins. Generally the darker the honey, the greater its vitamin content. There's more! Hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid in honey promotes healing of cuts, abrasions, and burns with quicker healing and less chance of infection and scarring. (I got 4 different kinds of honey: creamed clover, honey comb, royal honey (royal jelly already mixed in) and orange blossom.) ~ all very very good!

Royal Jelly is an enzyme enriched food, produced by young bees and fed to queen bee larvae and adult queens. People use royal jelly as a multi-vitamin and to increase mental clarity. Royal Jelly on its own without being in the freezer will go rancid quickly; however to preserve it without refridgeration, mix it well with raw unpasturized honey and it's safe to keep out. If you buy it frozen, you only need 1/3 of a teaspoon per day. You may think it's might be remotely sweet like honey. .. well, it's NOT. It tastes strangely sour, so I add next to it on the same spoon raw honey to ingest it and that works for me.

Bee Venom is produced by worker female bees to defend themselves and their colony. People use bee venom to treat over 40 illnesses, such as warts, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. During my visit, I thought you get this venom in a jar or container and insisted on seeing what the venon looked like. I had no idea?!?! Well, it turns out, the only way to get this venom is to buy 15-20 bees in a jar that are alive and buzzing.

To receive this venom, you or someone who loves you, will pull out the bee and place it on the area of your pain so it will sting you. Imagine that! (I'm still not 100% sold but if the pain was bad enough perhaps I would consider this option).

Each sting contains 10K units of antibiotics in one concentrated location - I'm told that's why it hurts so much.

I had a very informative visit and said 'thank you' $167 later. It was worth it because my family and I are worth it.

I love to share great beneficial things and this is a definite gift too good not to pass on to you.

www.honeybeecentre.com ~ this is the place I went in Surrey.

Q #7 ~ What Happens to YOU when YOU Stress?

7. What happens to You when You stress?

Just recollect how your day begins? (Probably with the mad rush to get the kids to school and yourself to work) and once you reach your office, you find that there are a host of things to be done and you are running out of time. From this point, the stress only increases.
  • The first stressor you encounter gets the muscles tense, the blood pressure up and the stress cycle going. From this point the stress just builds up.
  • The next stressor tightens the muscles more as heart rate and blood pressure continue to rise.
  • After a series of stressors you begin to feel the effects. The headache, neck ache, or backache may come.
  • Your energy drops and the level of irritability goes up. It becomes hard to concentrate on tasks.

By the time you return home in the evening you're on stress reaction overload. You're peevish and cranky with a mishmash of aches and pains. It takes you only a short time to say something very nasty estranging everyone with whom you live. The evening becomes stressful too a continuation to your stressful day. And before you know it, it is bedtime and you cannot sleep. You replay the events of the day as your head pounds and your stomach churns. After a night of on-and-off sleep you awake in a foul mood and think, "Oh no, I have so much to do again." (is this any way to live life?)

By the time you wait through a traffic jam you arrive at work more stressed that when you left - and this is just the beginning.

If this cycle continues day after day, week after week, and month after month then you are headed in the direction of more advanced problems. As you mentally continue to adapt to the stressful reaction, your body will try to get your attention to let you know that something is wrong. The body's message of distress comes through physical symptoms like those just mentioned. Your complaints of headaches, neck aches, and backaches become more frequent; other muscle and joint pain; chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizzy spells and problems with digestion: ie. pain, cramping, spasms, or diarrhea are further signs.

If these stress symptoms are ignored and no action is taken to come out of it, you are at risk for serious health problems. Recent research suggests that anywhere from 60 - 90% of illnesses are stress-related. Stress can damage you in many subtle and penetrating ways.

For example, a study at Ohio State University showed that short periods of psychological stress can cause the body to take longer to clear heart-damaging fats from the bloodstream.

Studies show that long-term activation of stress symptoms, triggered by the release of hormones and brain chemicals, can have a hazardous, even lethal effect on your body and brain.
  • Because stress inhibits the immune system, it makes you more vulnerable to infections.
  • Stress can make it difficult to conceive a baby.
  • A working professional, when affected by job stress can behave violently with his colleagues or superior or he may quit the job. Thus the effects of stress are manifold with long term effects on the sufferer’s life and those who are related to him.
Stress is a contributor to very serious physical and psychological conditions, including:
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Depression
• Obesity
• Anorexia nervosa
• Substance abuse
• Ulcers
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Memory loss
• Trouble in getting sleep
  • Headache
  • Stomach upset
  • Weakening of immune system
  • Accentuates the process of ageing

It has been found that most illness is due to unrelieved stress. Thus it is better to manage stress than to let stress manage you. Journal every day, any symptoms of stress you may have...bring awareness and consciousness to what your subconscious mind is telling you. The aches and pains you are having are not just an inconvenience for you to numb your pain with a pill. Those pains are indications that change is absolutely needed in your lifestyle. You know yourself best, so listen and trust your intuition for what your body is telling you.

Chances are, your body craves CHANGE & MOVEMENT ~ perhaps some activity - so go out and have fun doing what you love!

You're work can wait, your health won't!

Until next issue, breatttttthhhhhhh.

Try this exercise when feel uptight:
Deep breathing ~~ 4-second inhale through the nose and 8-second exhale through the mouth. Do this 3x in a row.
Guaranteed to lower your blood pressure to bring calm back into the body.

Q #6d - Financial Stress

6d. Financial Stress...

Financial stress is a common complaint that affects every household to some degree. You can recognize financial stress by the pressure it imposes on your family:

  • You worry over bills, especially ones that are overdue.

  • Interest on revolving credit accounts keep pilling up when you only make small payments on bills.

  • You worry over not being able to buy everything you want, especially if your children have to do without the things they want, the things other children have, or the things you want them to have because you never had them as a child.

  • You worry because you can’t save any money.

  • You feel social pressures because you can’t keep up with the neighbor’s lifestyle.

  • You may have family tensions leading to arguments - - husband vs. wife, parents vs. child.

  • You may get flak from your in-laws.

Financial stress can be defined as a condition that occurs whenever income is less than expenditure. If you are a victim of financial stress your only solution to the problem is to balance income and expenditure. This balancing act can take two forms:
(1) either increased income or (2) decreased expenditure.

If you are the only earning member in your family, it can increase your burden all the more. After all, taking care of the needs of your family members is not a joke.

You increase your family income by requesting your spouse and/or educate children to support you financially.

Alternatively, you can reduce your expenditure by cutting down on extravagant things or luxury items. But this requires careful planning and wise budgeting.

In order to make yourself financially stable in the long run, you might have to adopt both options. Apart from balancing the monthly budget, there are things that need serious consideration. Like your children’s education expenses, marriage expenses, your parents medical bills or saving something for yourself in the future. All this requires meticulous planning. And it is advisable to seek an expert’s help, if you find it difficult to handle the investment part of your family budget.

Q #6c - Stressful Relationships...

6c. Stressful Relationships...


Man is a social animal. Everybody needs supportive relationships to get through challenging times. But sometimes the people we love the most can cause us the highest levels of stress. If your partner, family or children are getting you down, here is something for you.


Know your limits
People under stress often find it difficult to differentiate between their 'sphere of command' and their ' sphere of apprehension'. In a car, for example, our 'sphere of command' is our ability to maneuver our car skillfully on a busy road; our ' sphere of apprehension ', on the other hand, might include the worries we might feel if stuck in a traffic jam. We have no command, however, over the latter; the only thing that we can alter is our response to it.


Relationships are the same. We might be 'apprehensive' about our partner, but at the end of the day 'our sphere of command' remains our own behavior. Thinking that we can control a loved one is merely a source of stress.


Leading an aimless life
If you don't know what you want from life, you're more likely to follow those directions that you feel are wrong. To ascertain what really matters to you, write down on a piece of paper all the important ingredients in your life (work, relationships, children, hobbies, dreams, etc.), and then rank them in order from the most to the least important.Once you have properly assessed your values, you will find it much easier to prioritize when conflict arises.


Stop comparing
One of the most stressful habits of modern life is our tendency constantly to compare ourselves to others. But you must remember that even though other families or couples or individuals may look happier, richer or more fulfilled, you will never know what really happens behind closed doors. Trying to compete, or letting others make you feel inferior, stops you concentrating on your own unique talents and goals.


Know when to say ‘NO’
The most difficult in a relationship is to say 'no' to somebody you love. However, if you don't learn to refuse, at least some of the time, you run the risk of becoming overloaded and enraged. It's better to spend some time to consider which requests you are happy to fulfill and which you are not. If you clearly draw the line and show your family members as to what you can fulfill and what not, it helps you avoid getting stressed.


Communicate
Good communication is the key to stress-free relationships. Letting your partner know when you are under pressure, rather than expecting them to guess, can help the whole family plan ahead to lighten the load. Allotting ten minutes each evening for you and your partner to share your experiences of the day and explain its stresses will strengthen your bond and increase the chances of you both feeling understood.


Blame Game
Blame is one of the most baneful habits in relationships. Blaming someone for your mistake creates lot of stress in you. It's natural to argue - and it can be useful to clear the air and update how we feel - but it is essential to learn to forgive. Otherwise, the pain from one day transfers to the next.


If you find it hard to stop blaming your partner, why not try and reframe the dispute and ask yourself, 'What part of the argument is my fault?' Ultimately, we have to take responsibility for our own feelings.


Learn to accept the changes
When your child grows up and learns to handle things independently, learn to accept the changes. Give them the freedom. Do not try to take refuge at home and cling to all that is familiar. We want our partner to remain the same; we don't want our children to grow up and leave home. But unless a relationship changes and grows it will begin to languish, and the great irony is that the more we struggle to keep things the same, the greater the pain we experience. Try to see change at home as an opportunity rather than a threat.

Q #6b ~ Job/Work Stress...

6b. Job/Work Stress


According to a report, in India, nearly 3/4 of the employees believe that workers have more on-the-job stress than a generation ago. If job stress affects the employee personally and professionally, it could affect the employer financially to a great extent.

The employer’s loss could be due to the following factors:
1. Accidents

2. Absenteeism

3. Employee turnover

4. Diminished productivity

5. Direct medical, legal, and insurance costs

6. Worker’s compensation awards, etc.


The factors that cause stress at work can be due to the following factors:
1. The demands of the job

2. Meeting deadlines which could be statutory or self-created

3. The lack of support from colleagues and superiors

4. Their relationships with colleagues

5. Working long hours

6. Boring, mundane and repetitive work

7. Accidents at workplace

8. Uncomfortable workplace

9. Lack of training, whether they understand their roles and responsibilities.



Management’s attitude towards the welfare of the workforce:


  • Juggling between professional and personal or social commitments
  • Overburdened with work
  • Not happy with the salary/perks
  • Not happy with the job/boss
  • Bullying
  • Lack of feedback on performance
  • Value and contribution
  • Technological change
  • Lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities

No one seems to be immune; everyone from every perspective seems to experience some level of stress.

Q #6a - What are STRESSFUL Situations?

6a. What are stressful situations?
There are 4 major areas of stress typical in the average individual's life:

  1. Academic Stress

  2. Work Stress

  3. Relationship Stress

  4. Financial Stress

This issue will cover the 4 areas of stress in 4 separate postings - otherwise its way too long to post as one.

Visit this blog daily this week and you'll find each one posted sequentially until all 4 areas are posted.

Academic Stress
Normally, for a student of any discipline, the examination months and the month during which the results are declared can be safely guessed to be the most stressful period. The stress that the students face might be because of the following factors:

Fear of failing or letting down their parents.
The pressure placed on the students to succeed would be so high that the students unable to bear the pressure fall ill and in worst cases, they even attempt to commit suicide.

  • Not having confidence about the subjects studied.
  • Having extremely high expectations.
  • Comparing one with others.
  • Unrealistic goals set by the parents

Many students begin to feel an overwhelming amount of stress during exams. A little stress can help you stay alert and ready to do your best, but too much stress can cause exhaustion and make your loved one(s) feel miserable. The key to getting through an exam successfully is to find a balance of stress which you can control.

Below are some suggestions for helping you or your preteen/ teenager manage their stress during exams.

Suggestions ~ Before Exams...
1. Make a timetable to organize test dates and study hours.
2. Divide the difficult subjects into smaller portions so that they become easier to study and understand.
3. Eliminate distractions.
4. Avoid idling away the time and reward yourself when you finish a task
5. Eat a balanced diet and try to avoid "stress eating"
6. Get some exercise everyday
7. Try to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night
8. Take time everyday to relax and make sure to take study breaks
9. Watch what you tell yourself- If you change your "Am I going to fail thoughts" to "I'm going to do the best I can," you'll greatly reduce exam anxiety

Suggestions ~ During Exams...
1. Reach the exam hall at least one hour before.
2. Stop studying an hour before the exam.
3. You probably won't learn anything new in an hour, but you might see something you don't know which can cause additional stress and anxiety.
4. Don't talk about the test with other students once you get there. Everyone is anxious before the test and anxiety can be contagious.
5. When you first get the test, take a deep breath and relax.
6. Read the entire test before starting and write down a few notes. This can help jog your memory later as you go through the test.
7. Answers all the questions first which you find easier. Leave the difficult ones for a later time. At least you will score in those questions which are comparatively easier.
8. Do not forget to carry the identity card, admission ticket, etc.
9. Remember managing stress effectively, while you are still young can help prevent diseases in the future.

I hope you learned a few things here and are now better equipped to support someone in your life that needs to study.
