Are You Sleep Deprived

Did you know that millions of people are sleep deprived? I was one of those people until I found my perfect natural sleep system. When I had trouble sleeping, I used to wake up in the mornings feeling like I had just been beaten up. I worried about falling asleep or getting into a car accident. The D.O.T. reports thousands of traffic accidents which are caused from people driving while drowsy or sleepy. If you are not getting enough sleep, stop and re-evaluate your sleep pattern. May is National Better Sleep Month and this the ideal time to take a look at your sleep pattern.

The quality of your sleep is very important to your quality of life and lack of sleep affects your daily life. Lack of sleep can cause a host of problems such as; negatively affecting social and intimate relationships, make our roads more dangerous by driving while sleepy and less alert and inability to function properly. We often neglect to give our bodies adequate rest and relaxation. Where does sleep fall on your list of things to? Sometime we spend time worrying about lifes problems and therefore deprive ourselves of getting adequate sleep. Sleep is the bodys most vital recovery process and should therefore be given priority.

Sleep problems include snoring, difficulty falling asleep, waking often during the night, waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep, waking up feeling un-refreshed, unpleasant feelings in the legs among other things.

I read a report that said: (1) six in ten adults have driven while drowsy in the past year: 4 percent reported that they have had an accident or near accident because they were too tired or actually fell asleep while driving. (2) Roughly one-fourth of the respondents who have partners report that their sexual relationship has been hurt because they have been too sleepy. (3) Seven in 10 people said their doctor has never asked them about their sleep.

There was a recent report on a News cast that said scientist have discovered through series of studies that the lack of sleep is far more detrimental to health than was previously believed. Lack of sleep can cause diabetes, heart problem and even stroke.

RECCOMMENDATIONS

1. Determine how much sleep your body needs by simply noticing how rested you feel after waking up in the mornings. 2. Go to bed at the same time every night and use your bedroom for sleeping only. Watch T.V. in the living room. 3. Spend about half hour to wind down from the days activities. The wind down activity can be anything of your choice. I like to read, pray, listen to music or an inspirational CD or just sit back, put my feet up and relax. 4. Sleep experts recommend more than 7-9 hours of sleep for adult 11-13 for school aged children. 5. Read Psalm 23 and 6. Pray before going to bed
