Change Your Life Whilst You Sleep



Can you IMAGINE if changing your life...

... Was as EASY as falling ASLEEP?

Turbo-charge your confidence. Lose weight quickly. Rocket your relationships. Become a luckier person. Let go of stress. Be a super-positive thinker. Speed up your brain.

Imagine if ALL of this were possible.

Just by falling ASLEEP.

WELL, IT IS.

And it's all down to an ingenious audio technology known as "Sleep Programming."

Sleep Programming is officially more powerful than hypnosis. It's recently been proven by San Diego University -- and is used daily by the US Government to help train new military recruits.

How does it work? Simple!

Just play one of the special Sleep Programming CDs on loop as you fall asleep - and get ready to wake up a NEW PERSON!

It's the FASTEST and MOST EXCITING way to change. And it's available to YOU - RIGHT NOW.

6 Tips for Getting More Sleep

1. Make sleep a priority
Simply deciding that getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night is going to be one of your health priorities can go a long way. Resist putting work or household chores – or even a good book – ahead of sleep.
2. Develop a sleep routine
Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on the weekends. Studies suggest that going to sleep at 10 pm and waking up at 6 am works the best with our body’s natural rhythms.
Developing a ritual that you follow each night before going to sleep (e.g. journaling, reading, paced breathing, and drinking chamomile tea) can also help prepare your body for rest.
3. Make the bed a “sleep only” space
Sometimes it is easy to convert your bed into an all-purpose area – especially if you live in a small apartment. Eating in bed, watching TV in bed, or even working in bed can make it more difficult for you to sleep at night.
 
4. Avoid eating and exercise within three hours of going to sleep
This can be hard for night owls, but it is important to remember that eating and exercise both get your body energized, not ready for a good night’s sleep. Although regular exercise can make it easier for you to sleep eventually, you should make sure to leave your body plenty of time to wind down afterwards.
 
5. Turn off the lights (and devices)
Make sure that the area where you sleep is dark and quiet (although if you live in a noisy neighborhood, a white noise machine can be helpful). The hormone melatonin is produced in total darkness, and the longer you stay in the dark, the more melatonin the pineal gland produces. Melatonin regulates our sleep and wake cycles, destroys free radicals, suppresses the development of breast cancer, increases the immune system’s killer lymphocytes and more. Some people use black-out shades or eye masks to block out light when they sleep and/or turn off or move anything out of the room that emits even dim light in their bedroom (e.g. LED lights in TVs, clocks or night lights). If you need a night light, a dim red light is the best choice. [LINK TO SOURCE 6]
Additionally, the blue wavelength light emitted from TVs, computer screens and cell phones suppresses melatonin production more than other wavelengths, so it is wise to avoid exposure to them 2-3 hours before bedtime. That means no more falling asleep in front of the TV! However, exposing your eyes to lots of bright natural light during the day can help you sleep better at night.
 
6. Listen to your body – and get rid of the alarm clock!
After starting to get into a sleep routine, see if your body can awaken on time naturally, without the help of an alarm clock. (Maybe try this out on the weekend first, though!) Listening to your body is the best measure of whether you’re getting sufficient rest.

Power napping really IS good for you

A 30-minute snooze can repair the damage caused by a lack of sleep, study finds

  • Naps help relieve stress and bolster the immune system, study finds
  • Scientists hope findings will help shift workers and insomnia sufferers
  • Sleep deprivation increases risk of obesity, diabetes and depression
  • New research found 30-minute nap helps repair damage of too little sleep


Indulging in a power nap can repair the damage caused by a lack of sleep, new research today claims.
Having a 30-minute snooze can help relieve stress and bolster the immune systems by restoring hormones and proteins to normal levels.
Scientists hope their findings will help shift workers and those suffering insomnia, by mitigating the damage caused by too few hours sleep.
Sleep deprivation not only puts people at increased risk of suffering accidents, but they are also more likely to develop chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and depression.  

Indulging in a 30-minute power nap can help restore the damage caused by having too little sleep, a new study has today revealed

Indulging in a 30-minute power nap can help restore the damage caused by having too little sleep, a new study has today revealed


Dr Brice Faraut, of the Université Paris Descartes-Sorbonne Paris Cité, said: 'Our data suggests a 30-minute nap can reverse the hormonal impact of a night of poor sleep.
'This is the first study that found napping could restore biomarkers of neuroendocrine and immune health to normal levels.
'Napping may offer a way to counter the damaging effects of sleep restriction by helping the immune and neuroendocrine systems to recover.

'The findings support the development of practical strategies for addressing chronically sleep-deprived populations, such as night and shift workers.'
The study examined the relationship between hormones and sleep in a group of 11 healthy men between 25 and 32.
During one session, the men were limited to two hours of sleep for one night.
For the other session, they were able to take two, 30-minute naps the day after their sleep was restricted to two hours.
Each of the three-day sessions began with a night where subjects spent eight hours in bed and concluded with a recovery night of unlimited sleep.
Their urine and saliva was analysed to determine how restricted sleep and napping altered hormone levels.

After a night of limited sleep, the men had a 2.5 fold increase in levels of norepinephrine, a hormone and neurotransmitter involved in the body's fight-or-flight response to stress.
Norepinephrine increases the body's heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar. Researchers found no change in norepinephrine levels when the men had napped following a night of limited sleep.
Lack of sleep also affected the levels of interleukin-6, a protein with antiviral properties, found in the saliva.
The levels dropped after a night of restricted sleep, but remained normal when the subjects were allowed to nap. The changes suggest naps can be beneficial for the immune system.
The study was published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
