The Healing Power of Stress-Free Sleep‏

December 2nd, 2009

When was the last time you had a really good night’s sleep?

Sleep deprivation, mostly caused by corrosive “stress” is the reason. The common denominator in all the terrifying epidemic diseases we face today, stress is the foundation of every sickness known to mankind, particularly cancer.

And to add to this epidemic of sickness is the fact that without sleep the body cannot truly heal itself — what a conundrum!

Far too many people worldwide suffer from insomnia, tossing and turning at night, battling anxiety and depression – waking up exhausted. And as we age, getting restful and restorative sleep becomes an almost impossible problem.

As a result, tranquilizers and sleeping pills have become some of the most over-prescribed medications on the market. Americans consume over a million and a half pounds of dangerous tranquilizers annually, mostly for psychological, stress-related reasons, not for physical problems.

Far from being simple medications to relieve sleeping problems, these drugs can cause dizziness, memory loss, decreased mental function, confusion, loss of coordination (which increases the risk of falling and hip fractures) and automobile accidents.

Additionally, virtually everyone who uses drugs like these for more than a few months becomes addicted. It’s a lucrative proposition for drug manufacturers, but a costly one for patients both health and wealth-wise.

Set your Alarm Clock for a Good Night’s Sleep

October 22nd, 2009

Far too many people suffer from chronic insomnia, tossing and turning all night and barely getting an hour or two of uninterrupted sleep. And this is not something to take lightly. The body not only needs 8 hours of deep sleep, it DEMANDS IT!

When our sleep patterns are out of whack, we quickly will spiral out of control with irritability, uncontrolled anger, lack of concentration, chronic fatigue and even suicidal tendencies.

Some people even boast about how little sleep they get!

“Oh, I can get by on 3 hours sleep a night!”
… former President Bill Clinton

The plain truth and irrefutable fact is our bodies simply cannot function properly on less than 8 hours of sleep each night. This is the time the body recharges the adrenal glands, healing and regenerating itself. Nearly 99% of all nervous breakdowns get their origins in lack of adequate sleep.

Introducing our new ‘Good Night’ Formula

When I was the nutritional products formulator with Equinox International many years ago, I developed a formula called  Tranqulity that was consistently the #2 or #3 best-selling formula.

At the time, it was the very first non-prescription alternative for a deep, restful night’s sleep. It wasn’t just one or two herbs to help you relax; it was a blockbuster of things that really induced restful, uninterrupted, rejuvenating sleep.

Over the ensuing years, I’ve keep a battered notebook of new herbs and compounds to use “one day” for a new and improved version of this famous formula.
