DoctorsTV and Oz: Sleep Healthy, Be Healthy

Both Dr. Oz and the doctors on TV have shows dedicated to the reasons why so many people have sleep disorders which then impact their waking hours. There are some really basic healthy solutions to give you in order to get a better night’s sleep and improve your general health.

If you don’t get restful sleep, then you are going to find that your general health suffers. You will age more quickly, you will be experiencing more stress, you will find yourself in bad moods, and you will have more fatigue during the day.

The experts on Dr. Oz suggested that future neurological disorders and diseases might be the result of continued lack of sleep when the brain is out of balance and neurotransmitters go haywire during the night. Eventually it affects you by day as well as during the night time. You don’t want to let this go on for a long time. You simply must find a way to get to sleep, stay asleep, and enjoy a regenerative sleep.

Dr. Oz gave his audience an eyeful of the crazy disorders that occur from poor sleep, from weird sex to uncontrolled bodily movements when a person is supposed to be quietly and soundly asleep.

If you want to look at the underlying causes of sleep problems, it usually boils down to an imbalance in the brain’s biochemistry which then affects the entire body at a variety of levels. When the neurotransmitters are functioning properly, you will begin to improve the patterns of sleep. Your dreams in REM will be more regular and lucid, your body will feel refreshed when you awaken in the morning, and you will have a clear mind after a long sleep that is no longer interrupted.

Minerals, trace minerals, and electrolytes need to be present in sufficient quantities to ensure a good night’s sleep. Root vegetables and seaweeds are good sources along with nutritional supplementation to cover all your bases that might be missed by your dietary choices.

You also need to get all the TVs, radios, alarm clocks, stereo systems, electrical devices, and any appliances that run on electricity out of your bedroom. Turn off the juice… The frequencies of these things disrupt your sleep. If you still insist upon having something with sound or images in the bedroom, play soothing music or listen to subliminal tapes just before or while you sleep.

You might also want to invest in your healthy future by getting organic bedding, natural pillows, and even a good bed made from natural materials. You’ll sleep like a baby…

Your bed and your sheets and your pillows are of immense significance. Really! Try it and see what a difference that makes…

Pearl Powder will calm your mind and pacify your spirit to enable you to gently and peacefully fall asleep and stay asleep comfortably all night. Your body will also regenerate at the cellular level when taking pearl powder a few hours before you retire for the night.

There are some other nutritional suggestions, like supplementation with melatonin and herbs which help to balance your brain biochemistry for you to use if you need that degree of support. A few drops of Lavender Essential Oil will help you drift off to sleep more easily.

We’ll cover more sleep ideas in the future, but begin with these basics.
