New Product for People Who Snore
For those who have sleep apnea or who snore, a new product has just been introduced to the public: SnoreSling.
SnoreSling uses lightweight, breathable material that slings the head and chin, possibly more comfortably than the plastic mask of a CPAP machine.
Take it from one who knows: the mask and tubing of a CPAP machine can [...]
CPAP Masks
12. June 2009
I have sleep apnea and I treat it with the help of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine.
It’s brilliant, really. The machine forces air into your nose to keep the airway open during sleep. Your doctor actually “prescribes” the amount of pressure for you, based on the data gathered from your sleep study.
Of course, [...]
Surviving on Less Sleep
13. April 2009
Ever since Daylight Saving Time ended in many parts of the country, my sleep pattern got interrupted. Now I’m going to bed later at night and waking up way too early in the morning.
Some would say I’m waking up in the middle of the night. And I’m functioning all day. Barely. I find that I’m [...]
Overcoming the Endless Night
10. April 2009
I read this poetic description of insomnia in a recent article in Spirituality & Health magazine. In “Finding Sleep,” author Edward Readicker-Henderson explains how he simply can’t avoid taking his own mind with him to bed. Interesting visual there.
He’s followed suggestions from the experts, taken sleeping pills of all kinds–even consulted the Bible–”Pity I can’t just [...]
A Different Kind of Sleep Study
9. April 2009
Lately I’ve been seeing commercials on television for Advil PM. They’re a mock “sleep study” between the product and its competitor, Tylenol PM.
Clearly some advertising agency writer has been doing their homework, identifying the buzz words of their target audience with this one. I find it interesting that the spots use a camping motif as [...]
Sleep Disorders in Children
8. April 2009
The business of treating sleep disorders is booming these days, possibly because of all the press that sleep deprivation is getting. Not to mention the nearly epidemic proportions that people are diagnosed with some form of shuteye challenges.
Children are not immune to sleep disorders, either. From infants and toddlers to tweens and teens, the health [...]
Powerful Sleep Potions
7. April 2009
I remember discovering Origins products. I worked in New York City. Not quite flush with cash, but dreaming big in Bloomingdale’s at least once a week, I came upon this natural skin care line way before its time. At the beginning, you could only find Origins in places like Bloomie’s as no free-standing stores even [...]

5. April 2009
I’m about to spend several nights in different hotels while traveling and I really need to make sure I’m rested and ready for even more travel the next day.
What better tipster can there be but an airplane pilot?
Pilot Paul has three words for you: white noise machine. I’ve had luck with white noise machines for [...]
