Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I thought you would find this press release interesting. This guy is selling a sleep technique, but it is a medication free method. How to Sleep in Troubling Times - New Tips From a Sleep Specialist BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- National and world events today are creating anxiety that makes it difficult for many to sleep. National Sleep Foundation polls show 58 percent of adults experience symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights a week, which adds up to millions of Americans struggling to function during the day. "The good news is, there are new simple steps to help people sleep well," states Shane, Ph.D., a sleep specialist affiliated with Boulder Community Hospital Medical Staff in Boulder, Colorado, and Director of the Center For Self Development. "These steps help your mind become quiet and cross over the threshold into sleep -- without struggle." Dr. Shane's website, www.sleepeasily.com, presents a comprehensive way to sleep well. To sleep better, follow these easy steps when you go to bed: * Let your tongue relax. Slightly separate your lower and upper teeth. Your jaw and throat begin to relax. * Gently be aware of your chest and belly rising and falling with your breath. * Notice the sense of comfort developing in your body. "These are only introductory steps from the Sleep Easily method, but even these steps begin to calm your heart," says Shane. "These body sensations are 'switches' in your nervous system that signal your brain and mind to become quiet and let your body relax. "Too many people get stressed about not being able to sleep which only makes sleep more difficult," continues Shane. "Have your initial goal be to just get close to sleep -- a much more restful state than tossing and turning. Your relaxed body will then carry you into sleep. "As you use this method you will fall asleep or back to sleep more easily and quickly, and sleep more deeply," says Shane. Lack of sleep is a top reason for poor job performance and accidents. Polls show 51 percent report sleepiness on the job interferes with their productivity and 57 percent have driven while drowsy. Good sleep will help you feel better, think more clearly, be more productive and experience greater health.
