Kevin's Newington Sleep Apnea Children Blog

Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Kevin Apperson. 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 Ruby down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!

Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as Melotrex or Reposanex, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.

First, I rid my Newington 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 family car or the ten page application for my daughter to attend Randolph-Macon College. 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 Newington 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 Reposanex, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Woodbridge. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 19. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open. See http://www.bestsleepaids.net for a good night sleep.

Does it seem like some Mount Vernon teenagers sleep all the time? VA sleep experts say that teenagers need about ten hours of sleep. This is as much sleep as a toddler needs! (Parents of teenagers can probably name some other ways that 16 year-olds and 3 year-olds are alike.)

If high schoolers need more sleep than grade schoolers, why do most Woodbridge high schools start the school day between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. while elementary schools ring the bell at 9:30? If first period in high school began a few hours later, say at 10:00 a.m., perhaps fewer Woodbridge high schoolers would struggle to graduate.

In addition to schools, many other VA social institutions do not acknowledge nor support natural sleep requirements. Think of first-year Woodbridge doctors who make life-or-death decisions during a thirty hour shift. The increased rate of mistakes made by trainees while working impossibly long hours is well documented.

“An intern who does more than 80 a week commits 36% more serious medical errors than one who works normal hours”, said Charles Czeisler, sleep researcher. (medicalnewstoday.com)

In addition to health care, many Mount Vernon professions require employees to work dangerously long shifts. Newington public safety workers, Mount Vernon customer service personnel, Fort Belvoir night cleaning crews, armed services personnel, Alexandria restaurant workers, and Woodbridge truck drivers are all at risk for sleep deprivation and the associated dangers.

If you suffer from occasional or persistent insomnia due to your Newington employment situation, Melotrex can help you. This all-natural Newington insomnia remedy is effective for all types of sleep problems. Most of us cannot change our profession, however, we can use sleep aids such as Reposanex and 7Hour Slumber to help us get the deep, recharging sleep that will allow us to be clear-headed on the job.

Hi, it’s Kevin here again sharing sleep news for Newington insomniacs.

I have been conducting informal research on lack of sleep effects in Newington for several months now. So far, I have tried Reposanex and 7Hour Slumber. This upcoming week, I am eager to compare Melotrex.

Melotrex works with your body to re-set your natural circadian rhythm. No, I am not a dancer, ‘circadian rhythm’ is the scientific name for your internal body clock. All animals and plants have a natural 24-hour cycle. Circadian rhythms disorders affect your physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Circadian rhythms can be altered by pregnancy, rotating shifts and jet lag. I don’t have to worry about being pregnant, but since I will be traveling away from Woodbridge on business next week, I will definitely need Melotrex. I will also do yoga and my special relaxation techniques faithfully while I am away. Since I am very sensitive to disruptions in my sleep cycle, I have a bedtime ritual that I use in combination with all-natural sleep aids to help me sleep.

For more information on Melotrex, Reposanex, , and 7Hour Slumber, see Richard’s Forestville Sleep Paralysis Blog. These sleep aids are available online for all Alexandria and Mount Vernon folks who want to re-set or maintain their sleep/wake cycle for better health and improved immunity. I don’t know about you, but I am at least a little concerned about H1N1 and other viruses that are spreading in the Woodbridge area. To stay healthy, make sure you get enough sleep!
