Hello,
Today I'd like to explore a topic that is all too often ignored in our lives, but directly affects the quality of our happiness, memory, concentration, and general health. Sleep is often the first thing sacrificed in our struggle with stress. A shocking statistic by the nonprofit Better Sleep Council revealed that 65% of those studied did not receive adequate sleep due to stress alone. When we take into consideration caffeine intake, environmental factors such as noise, and general discomfort the statistics are even more staggering.
The truth is, sleep is just as important as breathing or eating when it comes to our survival. Asthma sufferers often relate how desperate their bodies feel when they are not receiving enough oxygen. The stress on the body felt due to insomnia is very similar, though unlike asthma it feels less urgent. This quiet desperate fatigue lasts for hours and sometimes weeks if you aren't getting the right quality of sleep. Some people forget entirely what it feels like to be refreshed. Sleep actually does more than rejuvenate our minds. All stages of cancer are fought as cells repair DNA and defenses are bolstered to terminate possibly malignant cells. Minor scrapes and wounds on the outside of the body regenerate, but more importantly internal wearing on the organs and muscles heal during this time as well. The body needs this in order to survive long-term, meaning there is no alternative to a good night's sleep.
Because so much of our thinking is long term now, we spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about the future. This worry is not part of the body's natural state. The goal of our entrainment therapy is to take the body from this unnatural state into the pre-stages of sleep which cannot be ignored. Our entrainment tools have been specially designed to guide the brain, letting it coast from the alpha down through theta and finally arriving at the much sought after delta brainwave pattern that soothes you to sleep. If you want to know what the perfect night's sleep feels like, you can find our entrainment tools at http://www.store. unexplainable.net/products/ sleep.php
But there are some important tips to remember while using these recordings. On weekends we're tempted to stay up late if we have nowhere to be in the morning. Instead, try to make sure you go to bed at the same time every night. This helps ensure your circadian rhythm (your day/night sleep cycle) is never confused or disrupted. Take some time before you go to sleep to perform your nightly "winding down" rituals. It's important not to watch tv less than a half hour before actually going to sleep as television perks your brain into an alert yet passive state, and can also have a negative effect on dreams. A lot of worrying just after going to bed comes from transitioning from a stressful state to a sleeping state too quickly. Wind down with a book, some relaxing music, or a pleasant no stress conversation.
It's important to monitor your diet too. We'll cover this more in-depth in the future, but it's worth noting here that caffeine will last in your body far longer than you might think. An afternoon cup of coffee may rob you of sleep several hours later, and affect the quality as well.
I hope you enjoyed our introductory guide to a better night's sleep. Next time I'd like to take a closer look at sleep induction techniques such as breathing and positioning. Did you know there is actually a cardinal direction that you should face for a good night's sleep?
Have a safe and enlightened journey!
