Sleep Sound in Locust Grove

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Herbal Sleep in Locust Grove Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Robert English. As you have probably guessed, there are some nights when I simply cannot sleep sound. I brush my teeth, climb onto my swedish mattress, relax under my Royal blue down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!

Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as 7Hour Slumber or Sleep2Night, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.

First, I rid my Locust Grove bedroom of all the distractions. I can’t believe how much paperwork piles up in a few days. I don’t want to lie awake thinking about the car insurance premium that is due on my sedan or the ten page application for my daughter to attend Virginia Military Institute. I even close my laptop and take it out of the bedroom.

Next, I bargain with my sweetie for a massage exchange. I promise to give an incredible rubdown tomorrow night if I can get one tonight. Lavender or chamomile oil is the crowning touch.

Next, I meditate to the sound of the surf lapping at the shore. No, I don’t live on the beach, but I do live in a nice Locust Grove neighborhood near downtown. To hear waves, chirping birds or a gentle breeze rustling the trees, I turn on relaxing ambient sleep music.

If these things don’t do the trick, I pull out the heavy artillery. I take Sleep2Night, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Stevensburg. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 10. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open. See http://bestsleepaids.net for a good night sleep.

Sleep Deprived in Stevensburg?

Sleep Deprived in Stevensburg? Hey There

Sleep deprivation is not only irritating, it can be down-right dangerous. According to the National Sleep Research Project:
INDENT:

The 1989 Exxon Valdex oil spill, the Challenger space shuttle disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear accident have all been attributed to human errors in which sleep-deprivation played a role.

I’m not an oil tanker captain, astronaut or nuclear power plant worker, but I am a sleepy Locust Grove parent and small business owner–and I think these jobs are just as important. I don’t want insomnia to cause me to make mistakes at my Locust Grove home, Lignum office or driving my kids to their Locust Grove school.

I have been using Melotrex and Sleep2Night. (See http://bestsleepaids.net for more information.) Melotrex helps me fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. To me, a couple of hours of deep sleep is worth more than six hours of light, restless sleep.

Sleep2Night works naturally to synchronize your body’s circadian rhythms. It helps you fall asleep fast because it gets into your bloodstream quickly, unlike some Stevensburg sleep aids that take hours to work.

I don’t know what knocked my natural sleep cycle out of whack. Maybe it was cramming (partying?) all night during my University of Virginia college days. It could have been the two years I worked graveyard shifts at my first Sumerduck job. Perhaps it was those groggy months when the children were needing assistance through the night. Whatever it was that got me into this frustrating pattern of insomnia, I am determined to get out of it. Melotrex and Sleep2Night are going to help me.

They can help you too.
-Robert

A Sumerduck Bedtime Story

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

A Sumerduck Bedtime Story Once upon a time there was a Royal blue car-drivin’ entrepreneur named Robert English (that’s me) who lived in Locust Grove, VA. Robert’s father has had heart problems since he was relatively young and isn’t an example of heart-healthy eating. Robert’s mother, who lives in Stevensburg, suffers from emphysema due to smoking. Robert plans to be around to spoil grandchildren in twenty years, so is trying hard to break the chain of parents’ poor examples when it comes to health.

Robert eats a healthy diet, sweats regularly at a gym in Elkwood and can often be found doing the downward dog at a Lignum yoga studio. Robert has a strong immune system and, fortunately, hardly ever gets sick. (Don’t discount the obsessive hand-washing.) And in case you were wondering, Robert doesn’t touch cigarettes.

This all sounds good so far, right? Here is the problem. In spite of diligence, Robert often feels less-than-normal. Why? Insomnia. Not occasional sleeplessness, Robert goes weeks with wide awake sleep time. Our poor insomniac has watched all the old movies that play on TCM–several times each!

If you suffer from insomnia, you know that it doesn’t matter if you have a heart rate of 20, a bloodstream free of cholesterol and can run a four-minute mile–you still feel lousy!

A friend in Sumerduck challenged me to compare some good sleep aids to find one that works for me. I start tonight with Melotrex. I did some extensive research and found only positive feedback about this all natural sleep remedy. I will use it for a week and then try 7Hour Slumber to see which one is the most effective for chronic sleeplessness. Check back soon for the end of the story.

I hope to live (and sleep) happily ever after.

Get Your Life Back With Melotrex

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Get Your Life Back With Melotrex We spend roughly a third of our life sleeping, but that third is mighty important. If your sleep is inadequate, the other two thirds will suffer.

Hey There. My name is Robert and English. I have dealt with insomnia in Elkwood for the past five years. My troubles might have begun when I was in a serious auto accident just outside Lignum. Recovery can often be long and difficult and you could spend months in a Stevensburg hospital. You know how impossible it is to get a good night’s sleep in a hospital. The pain meds were also a problem because they can mess up your natural sleep cycle. The first few months after the accident may be an endless blur of restless nights and sleepy days. Needless to say, I know how poor sleep affects the two-thirds of ‘awake’ time.

Fortunately, a Sumerduck friend suggested Melotrex to treat my insomnia. Melotrex helped me re-set my biological sleep/wake schedule. I am finally sleeping regularly!

Good sleep is priceless. I am now more productive at work. I feel good enough to lift weights at my favorite Lignum fitness center. I have more energy for my Elkwood friends and family. In short, I have my life back again.

The all-natural sleep aid Melotrex is not just for the “one third”. It is just as important for the other ‘two thirds’.
