Jay Leno's Rx For A Longer Life!

                      Sleep More, Live Longer! 

Jay Leno is notorious for sleeping no more than 6 hrs. a night.
If he goes to bed at 11:00 pm and gets up at 5:00 am that's
okay, but if he goes to bed later than 12:00 midnight, then
he may be taking a few yrs. off his life.

That's right- new research says that getting to bed by 11:00 pm can help you lose weight (especially around the stomach area), cut your risks of colds, lower your chances of getting diabetesby a whopping 45% and if you're a pregnant woman- reduce your chances of miscarrying.
Why is 11:00 pm so important?

The researchers say that getting your circadian rhythms in sync
with the Sun-so you're asleep when it's dark out and awake when it's
light out-helps your body function at it's peak.

So, are you a night owl? Can you make it to bed by 11:00 pm?
Remember your life depends on it, literally.
As for those who must be up past 11:00 pm for work,
well you can make sure you're eating right, drinking water
and not smoking.

And if you need some all-natural ways to get to sleep and stay asleep,

Nate Berkus' Rx For Saving Money!

                   Save Money Like Nate Berkus! 

Nate Berkus, the interior designer discovered by Oprah, appeared
on the "The Dr. Oz" show yesterday.
Nate talked about bedding and sheets, but not as a designer, but
more like a alternative healer. Simply put- Nate explained that
messy rooms, unmade beds, old and worn out curtains can
do more than make the room look bad, it could affect your sleep.

And he was right on the money, Insomnia as a lot of you out there know,
is big business. Big business for the pharmaceutical companies and Nate
explained that keeping your bedroom neat (not OCD neat) but tidy,
can help you get to sleep and stay asleep.
Think of a messy room as chaotic and disorderly and that's how you'll
sleep.

So, if you need to buy new sheets, blankets, curtains and comforters-
go to Overstocked.com and put your bedroom in order and hopefully,
it'll translate into better sleep.

Pippa Middleton's Rx For Deeper Sleep!

                                 Do Pilates Like Pippa! 

Pippa Middleton the younger sister of Kate Middleton and sister-in-law
to Prince William, is very involved in Pilates.
You know the exercise that's been used by a number of stars for the
past decade. And this may explain the perky behind that she flaunts and
what a lot of women want.

But there's something besides the great derriere that'll happen as 
a result of doing Pilates. What is it? Deeper sleep. 
That's right- Pilates or even stretching for a few mins. about 30 mins.
before bed helps 9 in 10 people sleep longer. Pilates or other types
of similar exercises loosens tight and tense muscles- plus it'll gently
push your nervous system into a serene state, and lower the stress
hormones that make it hard it to get to sleep and stay asleep.

So, if you were looking for an exercise plan that'll help you get longer
and leaner, then you must try stretching or Pilates, and if you have trouble
sleeping as well, then you must really try Pilates and/or light stretching.
We can't guarantee that'll you'll look like Ms. Middleton after doing
Pilates for awhile, but we'll promise-you'll sleep better than her.

And if Pilates aren't enough- check out a book called "Say Good Night
To Insomnia"
by Gregg D. Jacob, Ph. D.

Good Luck!

Horror Movie Rx For Better Sleep!

                         Sleep Better Tonight! 

Are you a fan of horror movies? Do you like the movies of the past, that
didn't rely on blood or gore? Or are you a fan of the slash and thrash movies
like the "Saw" Franchise?

One thing about horror movies is that someone is always waking up in the
middle of the night-drenched in sweat, wondering if something or someone
is watching them?

If you find that you're waking up in the middle of night on a regular
basis, it's not someone watching you, it's probably anger.

That's right- waking up at 3:00 a.m. is usually stress or anger 
about something happening at work, a troubled relationship
with a spouse, child, parent (fill in the blank), or stress over bills,
or something else.

And the old adage "never go to bed mad" is certainly true.
Anger and/or stress keeps your mind occupied and your body tense,
setting you up for an increase in sleep-disrupting stress hormones.
Another problem caused by 3 a.m. wakeups?
Some people feel pain in the rectum area, a pain that feels
like hemrroids.

So, how do you get to sleep and stay asleep? 
Listed below are some suggestions.
a) Write it out-
Write out what's bothering you in a journal.
b) Pray It Out-
Think it only works for Tim Tebow? It'll work for you too.
Say your favorite prayer slowly about 5 times. It'll help
end racing thoughts as well.
c) Exercise-
About 3 to 4 hrs. before bed. Don't do it to close to bedtime
or you'll be too wired for sleep.
d) Eat Some Cheese-
About and hr. before bed, eat some cottage, ricotta, or cheddar cheese.
Cheese supplys you with an amino acid that your brain converts into the
feel-good hormone serotonin. Cheese also helps you dream and remember
those dreams.
e) A Massage-
Give yourself a hand or foot massage. Or ask a loved one to do it.
Massaging the hundreds of pressure points on your hands and feet,
help you relax and get to sleep.
f) Still Waking Up-
If you do wake up, read an audiobook. A regular book or T.V. will
emit light, and that light may keep you up for an hour or more.

That's it- Some tips to avoid the 3:a.m. wakeups, that are so common
in the horror movies.

Good Luck!

to go? If you're the type that belongs to "I have trouble getting up and

heart and breathing rates and even lowers anxiety levels, all of
