My husband has had a problem with snoring as long as I can remember. Funny, but it never really bothered me until I hit my 30s. When I was in my 20s I could sleep through virtually anything. When my 30s came around I was suddenly a very finicky sleeper. After I had my first child, things changed. I was so concerned about the baby's sleeping schedule, I was suddenly very sensitive to noise. Yes, then and only then did I...

Well, how important is a good night's rest? Since I have...

When writing this article I will approach my conclusions on the same thing I do when I make recommendations to my...

Sounds pretty simple doesn't it? Then why do so many of us view regular sleep as something that is really not all that important? I'll just make up the sleep on the weekend, or on my next vacation, we say. Well, unfortunately studies are showing it just does not work like that when it comes to sleep. A sleep deficit cannot be made up by getting an occasional complete night sleep. Sleep must come in a regular and consistent pattern to achieve the desired results. We spend millions of...

This can vary of course, depending on what time you go to bed.

Of all of the people who suffer from insomnia, shift workers are probably the most at risk. Sleep deprivation in shift workers is very common. In fact, I would have to say that from what I have seen, the majority of people who work overnights are sleep deprived.

I have worked the overnight shift for about eight years, so I know all about sleep deprivation. Fortunately, I have been able to make some important changes to my lifestyle, and I now get a good "day's" sleep (I...
