Conquer the common enemies of sleep,
avoid costly "sleep debt," and get the rest
your body and mind need for good health.
Dear Sueliman,
A good night's sleep is essential for your health and well-being. Getting too little sleep can cause numerous problems. Lack of sleep not only affects alertness and energy, it also weakens your body's defenses against infection, increases anxiety, and boosts your risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. It's a safety issue, too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that one in 24 adults says he or she has recently fallen asleep while driving.
Sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages. If you are one of them, you may be interested in Improving Sleep, an instructive and fact-filled report from Harvard Medical School that explains why sleep often eludes us as adults. You'll read about the habits and conditions that get in the way of peaceful slumber, and most importantly, you'll learn what you can do to enjoy the satisfaction of a restful night's sleep again.
Your Special Health Report includes:
✓ Facts about sleep and how it helps your health
✓ Simple ways to stop snoring
✓ Must-know dangers of too little sleep
✓ Help for sleep apnea — other than a CPAP machine
✓ Treatments for insomnia
The report will tell you how new techniques and therapies are helping men and women get to sleep more quickly — without the use of medications — as well as:
• what triggers insomnia
• how to overcome the "early-to-bed-early-to-rise" syndrome
• ways to control the need to urinate at night
• how to tame restless leg syndrome
• seven things you should do — and not do — before going to bed
• And so much more!
Do you or your spouse snore? There are hundreds of devices marketed as aids to stop snoring. But do any work? The report sorts them out and updates you on new procedures that can restore quiet to the bedroom. Could your snoring be sleep apnea? The report includes a six-question test that will help you determine if you need to be tested for this health-threatening condition.
Ever wondered why we remember so little of our dreams? Why "night owls" are the way they are? Or what's the best time for a nap — and how long should it be? The report answers these questions and many others. Plus, you'll read the truth about the connection between Ambien and sleepwalking (and sleep eating!), which over-the-counter sleeping aids are safest, five ways to avoid jet lag, and more.
Don't wait another night. Order your copy of Improving Sleep today.
