I learn more news with Jay Leno than CNN and fox news after fox canceled Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul and Jay Leno saw an opportunity to interview Ron Paul and get him the air time due to let his supporters know he was still in the race instead of trying to influence the votes like fox.

Sleep is very important in the life of every human being. Unless people sleep properly, the next day’s job cannot be executed smoothly. Lack of sleep can result in a number of ailments. It could lead to permanent condition of lack of sleep. Under such conditions, if people try to sleep forcibly also, it is very difficult to relax.

Other conditions relating out of sleeplessness is restive, uneasiness, formation of dark circles around the eyes and physical disposition. According to research into medical science, a normal human being cannot afford to remain awake for late hours especially when the person is engaged in a hard working job. For instance, people engaged in a lot of physical activities, are recommended sleep for at least nine hours. At times, it sounds too far fetched, but nine hours of continued sleep is considered mandatory. In the absence of time, it is suggested that people enjoy at least seven hours of continuous sleep. Sleeping is very necessary since it puts the mind to rest apart from maintaining the physical parameters.

Some parts of the human body need rest just like a machine. It will be unwise if people go without sleep for two continuous days. It has been found that people who do not sleep are found to be suffering from a number of problems on a daily basis. In an effort to sleep well, some people even go to the extent of taking sleeping pills. It is considered extremely dangerous to consume sleeping pills. Any slight variation in the dosage of sleeping pills might result in negative impact on the human body. The impact could be either mental or physical. So stay away from sleeping tablets.

In Yoga, the traditional practice from the eastern countries, it is recommended that four hours of continued sleep will help the human body and mind. The four sleep schedule might appear less when compared to nine hours as suggested earlier, but that is the reality for Yoga practitioners. The Yoga practitioners have learnt the art of controlling the fatigue and tiredness of the body by performing certain low energy consuming exercises. If you practice Yoga on a regular basis, there is no need for seeking the medical intervention to sleep well.

Another way of achieving peaceful sleep is to meditate regularly everyday. Another practice of the east, meditation is considered extremely beneficial for the human body and mind since it puts both to rest. If you meditate every day for at least an hour in the morning, it will take out the tiredness and fatigue from the human body. It will assist improvement of concentration on all matters relating work and personal issues. In the process, there will be less pressure on the mind and the body. Eventually, the body will not be conditioned to sleep for more than four or five hours in any given day. Similarly, the issues facing each and every person can be tackled effectively by practicing meditation. It is also recommended that people meditate for at least ten minutes before retiring to bed.

Let’s face it… we live in a “go-go” world! Our lifestyle is harried, our food is fast and statistics now show it’s taking a toll on one of the most important parts of our life–our sleep. The 2002 National Sleep Foundation (NSF) Sleep in America poll found that 74 percent of American adults are experiencing a sleeping problem a few nights a week or more, 39% get less than seven hours of sleep each weeknight, and more than one in three (37%) are so sleepy during the day that it interferes with daily activities. Our fast paced way of life is getting the best of us. What about you?

Answer True or False?

1. Five hours of sleep at night is good enough.

2. It’s ok to skimp on sleep during the work week as long as you make up the time over the weekends.

3. The effects of sleep deprivation are short-term (e.g., darkness under the eyes and dull and/or splotchy skin after a bad night’s sleep) and has no effect on long-term health.

4. Drinking caffeine early in the evening does not affect sleep.

5. Keeping a TV or computer in the bedroom has no effect on sleep.

6. The amount of sleep I get has nothing to do with my weight.

If you answered “true” to two or more questions you may need to make a few changes in order to achieve the highly coveted “good” night’s sleep and keep yourself in optimal health.

Experts suggest that most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night but that doesn’t apply to everyone. Some people only require 6 hours while those who are more active or have an illness may require more.

So how do you know if you are getting enough quality sleep? Those who are sleep deprived often look the part. Dark circles and the “sleepy” look are common, but they also can have unpredictable moods, drowsiness during the day, have difficulty concentrating, weak immune systems, recover poorly from injury and get sick more often. Sounding a little too familiar?

In fact, poor sleep has been found to impair the ability to perform tasks involving memory, learning, and logical reasoning. This may contribute to mistakes or unfulfilled potential at school or on the job as well as strained relationships at home. Even more disturbing, inadequate amounts of sleep have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, obesity, heart disease and depression, to name just a few.

But what if you go to bed early, have every intention on logging in your 7-9 hours but only to lie awake watching the clock…eyes wide open? Well, there are several simple adjustments you can make to stack the cards in favor of a better night’s sleep.

1) Avoid watching TV before bed…especially in bed!- The bed should be reserved for two things…sleep and romance…not Desperate Housewives or football! Research shows that those who experienced the most sleep disturbances had televisions in their bedrooms and used the TV to fall asleep.

2) Try a different pillow or mattress. It’s scary to think how long some of us have been sleeping on the same pillows and mattresses for years and years. Does your mattress provide the support you like? Do you wake with your back aching? Is there enough room for you and your sleep partner? Do you sleep better, or worse, when you sleep away from home? These are all things to ask

yourself to determine if your mattress could be the “sabotager” of your good night’s sleep. Or more simply, just replacing your pillow with a new, fresh, higher quality version could be all that you need.

3) Avoid caffeine late in the day. Did you know that even a small amount of caffeine even 10-12 hours before bedtime can cause problems falling asleep! Try eliminating the tea, soda and even chocolate and see if sleep improves.

4) Listen to relaxing music. Establishing a relaxing bedtime routine, such as listening to music, could be just the thing you need to signal your body it is time to sleep. So, dim the lights and throw some slow jazz or purchase a “relaxing sounds” CD to help slow your mind and body down for an evening of peaceful sleep.

5) Try mind- body techniques. After an action-packed day, your brain and body need to unwind and detox before sleep can occur (a.k.a. you need to chill!) Create a “ritual” for bedtime - take a bath, meditate, do some easy stretches or yoga. Try to do your “ritual” in the same way, in the same place, at the same time each night. The repetition will trigger your mind and body that it is time to relax and sleep.

6) Try a natural sleep aid. For many people, while the above tips and suggestions may help, it often isn’t enough. if you are one of those people who really have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep, you may want to try a natural sleep aid.

While over the counter sleep medications may help you fall asleep, they cannot be taken long-term and have risky side effects. A sleep aid that uses natural ingredients is a better approach to getting a solid night’s sleep.

I have four tickets to see the Tonight Show with Jay Leno ON Thursday March 22. The show time is 4:30 pm and the ticket says that guests must arrive in line at 3:30 pm. I want to get there early enough to get into the show, but I don’t want to be waiting hours in line if I can avoid it. Has anyone gone to the show and how early did you have to arrive to get into it?

Everton have finally found their stride and are currently on a five game unbeaten run with three wins from their last four. David Moyes’; side are 4th in the form table (last six results) with successive wins against Bolton (1-0), Fulham (1-0) and West Ham (3-1) followed by a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough taking them up to 7th in the league and just four points from a Champions League spot. Their away form is very solid too, with four wins from six putting them 4th in an away table, and they have recorded consecutive wins over Bolton and West Ham in their last two trips on the road.

So if the form guide in tonight’s Premier League clash points to Everton, how about the head-to-head record? Again, the visitors have lost just one of six games against this opposition since Wigan’s promotion in 2005/06, the full record reading: P6-W3-D2-L1-F9-A6. At the JJB it is even better, with David Moyes unbeaten here in three outings, with two wins and a draw including a 2-1 victory here last season.

So all in all, having a bet on Everton to win at 6/4 with BetUK looks the best value here.

Boon Kiat Chua asked:


I just attended a seminar today on Stress-Less Sleep: Mind-Body Medicine You Can Use Tonight by Dr. Lim Kok Kwang. Basically the seminar is talking about how to get a good sleep in a natural manner and I thought it is good to share. However, I did not bring with me writing materials so I will do my best to put down what I can remember. I hope this could help you in some way.

I am very fortunate to be able to sleep every night but I do have a lot of friends who have problems sleeping at night. Some of them are having too much stress because of work and some have problems in life while others have been having insomnia for a number of years. A good night sleep can be a luxury. Wishing you a good night of sleep tonight.

According to Dr. Lim, there are 2 main kind of reasons for insomnia namely physical and psychological.

For physical, usually it is due to environment or bodily pain or over-arousal. The environment where we are sleeping could be too bright or too noisy. In one of his examples, he had a patient who was having problem sleeping at night. The reason is that she needs to leave the bedroom light on (for safety reason) while sleeping as her husband, who is getting on in age, needs to use the toilet 2-3 times a night. So Dr. Lim suggested to her to leave the toilet’s light on instead and to keep the toilet’s door slightly ajar so that the room would not be totally dark. And two weeks later she went back to Dr. Lim saying that she no longer has any problem sleeping at night. In the case of bodily pain or over-arousal, it could be due to something like a sprained back or with the things you ate.

For psychological, which are due to unrealistic beliefs or emotional disturbance. The latter is more serious and there would be a need for consultation. People who is having problem sleeping due to psychological reason usually could be stress, depressive due to work, family or friends.

Not all people who has problem sleeping can get sleeping pills from doctor. Apparently there is a certain Insomnia Diagnostic criteria that a doctor needs to go through before prescribing sleeping pills to patients. Personally I think that should be the way as I am not in favor of taking medication unless there really is a need to.

The consequences of poor sleep are emotional distress, mental distress and bodily distress. When in emotional distress, the person will be easily irritable, nervous, lost of pleasure and just plain miserable. Mental distress will lead to poor concentration and forgetfulness while bodily distress will cause headache and fatigue.

In Dr. Lim’s seminar today, he shared one method of how you can get yourself to relax through a 2 power steps in 17 seconds:

1. Single focus: in his elaboration, he gave the example on breathing. Whenever you breathed out, you count it out audibly as ‘1.’

2. Neutral, non judgmental or observer attitude (mindfulness). What he meant by this is that when you are doing the first step, you will have disrupting thoughts coming in and instead of denying these thoughts, just let then come in and go out. Focus instead on the counting of ‘1′ as you breathe out.

Personally I had tried it out while I was in the seminar and it really worked. For just about 30 seconds, I can feel myself more relax and at the same time more focus.

Last but not least, Dr. Lim shared 7 steps to sleep success

1. Reduce caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, sleep medications and water (sleep hygiene)

2. Make your bedroom conducive to sleep (stimulus control)

3. Plan ‘to do’ list (emails, phone calls, etc) and leave it to tomorrow.

4. Exercise (brisk walk etc) 3 to 4 times per week

5. Do Sleep Restriction.

- Set Wake-up time.

- Set Minimum sleep time for adequate functioning the next day: meaning to find out the minimum hours of sleep that you need and yet you will still be able to fuction effectively the next day.

- Set go-to-bed time.

- Stick to schedule for 2 weeks.

- Avoid naps

The purpose of this Sleep Restriction exercise is to prevent ourselves from lying in bed trying to get to sleep. The more we spent lying in bed trying to get to sleep but still staying awake, the more it will ’stick’ with us in the mind that we are not able to sleep.

6. Do ‘ha’ Breathing meditation.

Focus on breathing out for as long as you can comfortably. Breathe in through your nostrils and breathe out through your mouth. When you are breathing out, you produce a ‘ha’ sound.

Repeat for 15 minutes.

This is truly effective. I tried it out for a couple of minutes and it really put me in a very relax and focus state and I mean really focus.

7. Use guided imagery: while you are lying down on your bed, focus your mind on a single spot or pattern like your ceiling or wall. This will prevent your mind from disruptive thoughts which could prevent you from sleeping.

I hope these methods that I share with you will allow you to have a good night sleep in the most natural way.
