Sleeping Problems

Restful sleep is normal physiology or action in motion. The reasons for sleep have not been totally established, but it is obvious that the body needs sleep to rejuvenate. Without sleep, wellbeing and the feeling of wellbeing eludes us.  Sleep is under the control of certain brain centers which switch us between wakefulness and sleep. Brain centers are made up of brain cells. All physiology happens at the cellular level. So if there are sleep problems, the problem lies in the cells. For brain cells to be able to receive and send the correct messages required by normal physiology they must have all the essential nutrients in the needed amounts in the correct ratios. Essential nutrients are what create normal physiology or action in and by the cells.

All cells including brain cells have a two layer cell wall surrounding it. This cell wall is 50-60% fat and 40-50% protein. The fats and proteins are intertwined into a matrix that controls(along with minerals and vitamins) all the functions necessary to normal life.

Any deficiency, imbalance or the presence of bad fats or proteins will alter the physiology and cause altered signaling. The signaling will be too slow, too fast, too much or too little.

Good fats are those that have the right functional abilities by virtue of having the correct shape and length. Bad fats have the wrong shape and or length. To ingest bad fats is to cause the body to try to fit square pegs into round holes. This alone contributes to poor physiology and poor signaling.

Some proteins in grains can cause altered physiology.

Minerals, trace elements and vitamins work with fats and proteins to promote normal physiology and signaling.   

So providing all the essential building blocks of life are necessary to insure that nerve cells maintain proper rhythm and signaling to allow normal sleep.

Poor eating habits with respect to timing of food and types of food interferes with blood sugar levels which affect nerve cell function. Eating sugar or sugar producing foods in abundance raises the blood sugar. This leads to hormonal imbalance, stress and higher states of physiological excitement, thereby interfering with sleep. Eating only carbohydrates for breakfast disturbs blood sugar levels for the rest of the day and snacking on sweets or high carbohydrate foods further disturbs blood sugar.

If pollutants in the form of heavy metals, chemicals, solvents, artificial coloring or sweeteners or drugs of any kind gain access to the body they end up in the fat because they are fat soluble; they dissolve only in fat. Foreign substances in the fat change the way the fat-protein matrix functions and alters the physiology. Nerve signaling is altered and normal sleep patterns affected.

Of course, psychological-emotional stress causes hightened states of nerve excitement which will interfere with sleep.

So by avoiding stress and  by keeping your cell membranes happy by eating healthy food, avoiding high sugar producing items, alcohol and pollutants is what insures proper cell function which allows normal sleep.

1) Eat whole foods-preferably organic

2) Eat three meals per day.

3) Eat some protein and fat at each meal especially breakfast and lunch.

4) Eat nothing between meals leaving 4-5 hours between meals.

5) Eat nothing for 4 hours before going to bed. 

6) Avoid bad fats

7) Avoid sugar producing foods

8) Minimize or avoid grain-based foods

9) Avoid alcohol

10) Avoid all forms of psychological or emotional stress

11) Avoid or minimize exposure to electromagnetic fields-TV’s, computers, cell phones, watches and all electronic wiring.

12) Avoid all toxic or poisonous items-chemicals, items containing heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum or lead, solvents such as turpentine and nail polish remover, mold-damp unventilated areas, grain based foods and some fruits and food additives

13) Walk a minimum of 2 and a half hours per weak.

In uncomplicated cases, if you do the above, you will sleep.

How Language Colors the World of Sleep

It may be only natural that an activity that occupies one third of our lives -- sleep -- also seems to fill our language with interesting expressions and references.

Sleep itself may be described in colorful ways. Someone may be said to be "sawing logs" (in reference to the sound of snoring) or "counting sheep". An individual in an especially deep sleeper may be said to be "sleeping like a baby". Other sleep idiom examples may include:


  • shuteye


  • sleep like a log
  • hit the hay
  • cat nap
  • rest your eyes
  • get 40 winks
  • catch some Zs

Moreover, there are countless stories -- even those told at bedtimes to children -- in which central characters are prone to excesses of sleep. The story of Sleeping Beauty and Rip Van Winkle quickly come to mind, with each involving a character who experiences a period of exceptionally prolonged rest.

Can you think of other expressions involving sleep? How about other stories that pertain to sleep? You may even be able to think of movies that relate to sleep topics. Share your suggestions by commenting on this post or discuss it further in the forum.

Daylight Saving Time Approaches (Again)

For those who observe daylight saving time, this Sunday at 2 A.M. the clocks will move forward one hour. Remember the simple mnemonic: Fall back, spring ahead. For most of us, this means one hour less sleep and a harder time getting up in the days that follow.

A�recent�study�showed that this change can lead to a 6% increase in cardiac events, including heart attacks on the days following the change. Therefore, it might be a good idea to plan for a little extra sleep by going to bed early.

This can be phased in before the change, rather than abruptly losing an hour of sleep and trying to catch up. Go to bed 15 minutes early and get up 15 minutes earlier each of the days preceding the clock adjustment, starting tonight.

It is hard to get up at a time that feels an hour too early, but if you make the adjustment gradually you may be able to ease into things and have a great start to your spring.

That Midday Nap May Make You Smarter

Before you dismiss a midday nap as a sign of laziness, you may want to learn about a recent study suggesting that it may be just the thing to make you smarter.

The study done at the University of California shows that an hour's nap can boost your brain power. In the study, healthy young adults who were allowed to sleep for 90 minutes midday actually performed better than those who did not. Their performance also improved from their baseline testing, suggesting that they also got smarter.

As we spend time awake for a prolonged period of time, we have more difficulty learning new information. It is thought that sleep is needed to clear our short-term memory storage in an area of the brain called the hippocampus to make room for new information. This transfer of information is thought to occur in one of the basic sleep stages called stage 2.

It is rather interesting to think that we are just beginning to learn the function of sleep.

Psychiatrists Work to Revise Diagnostic Manual

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is working to revise their diagnostic manual, including a section on sleep disorders.

Psychiatrists and allied professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in order to establish appropriate diagnoses based on specific criteria. The classification structure is periodically revised, and it is presently undergoing revision for its fifth edition.

Within the proposed revisions to the manual are classification changes meant to reflect our current understanding of sleep disorders. One may find it interesting to look over the diagnostic criteria. Certainly these shall evolve as we come to better understand sleep and its disorders.

How Does Exercise Affect Your Sleep?

It's pretty clear that your doctor wants you to exercise. Although recommendations regarding the amount and intensity may vary slightly, most of us simply do not exercise enough. How does exercise (or a lack thereof) affect our sleep?

According to guidelines for better sleep, it is recommended that you exercise every day, but you should avoid doing it in the four hours before bedtime. Unfortunately, for many of us, if we don't exercise in the four hours before bedtime we may not have time to exercise at all.

Staying active and physically fit is an excellent way to ensure a good night's sleep. If you are prone to insomnia, however, you may wish to avoid evening exercise routines. Your body may be too revved up after a strenuous workout to fall asleep hours later. If this is the case, perhaps you are someone who needs to exercise first thing in the morning. If it makes no difference on how long it takes you to fall asleep, you needn't worry about it.

Can Insomnia Shrink Your Brain?

Imaging research indicates that chronic insomnia may lead to a loss of brain density, suggesting that a lack of sleep may actually shrink your brain.

According to a study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry, the brain imaging suggests that individuals with chronic insomnia have a lower amount of gray matter density in areas of the brain that regulate the ability to make decisions and promote rest. The research compared insomniacs with controls and found that severe insomniacs had the most extensive density loss, regardless of how long they had suffered from the disorder.

The researchers were unable to determine which comes first, the difficulty sleeping or the loss of brain density. Further study may help to elucidate this relationship. The study highlights the importance of seeking treatment for sleep disorders and meeting your sleep needs.

Teen Girl is a Real-Life Sleeping Beauty

Teens often sleep more than adults, but as recently featured on The Today Show, an English girl suffers from a rare disorder that makes her a real-life sleeping beauty.

Just 15 years old, Louisa Ball can spend days and even weeks asleep. She is afflicted with a rare neurological disorder called Kleine-Levin syndrome that is known to affect only a few thousand people in the world. Its cause is not known. The syndrome is characterized by hypersomnia, or an excessive desire to sleep and time spent sleeping, that occurs episodically. There can be other associated symptoms including: confusion, apathy, hallucinations, depression, and even hypersexuality. The afflicted person may briefly awaken during the spells, but seems to be in an almost dream-like state.

The hardest part for Ms. Ball's family is keeping her weight up during her prolonged sleeping episodes, as she is reluctant to eat or drink. As she dozes, her life slips past her, just like in a fairytale.

The disease course can be quite varied, with intermittent long periods of sleeping, but most people with Kleine-Levin syndrome grow out of it in a matter of years. In some cases, the disorder may last decades however, which makes one wonder whether historical cases may have been the inspiration for the children's stories of Sleeping Beauty and Rip Van Winkle.
