]]> I missed it yesterday but I wanted to let you guys know that it’s “Sleep Week” on Live with Regis and Kelly.  It’s perfect if you have ever suffered from insomnia since they will be talking with Dr. Nisha Aurora, the Director of the Mount Sinai Comprehensive Center for Sleep Medicine, about common complaints and solutions.sleep week

Some of the issues they address are:

  • Are you sleepy/ tired during the day?
  • Do you have trouble falling asleep?
  • Do you have trouble staying asleep?
  • Does your partner complain you’re snoring?
  • Do you like to sleep late and then can’t get up in morning?
  • Do you need to urinate frequently at night?
  • Do you have un-refreshing/restless sleep?

I will be looking forward to some tips on liking to go to sleep and wake up later than most people.  I’ve never been able to change that.  I read on the Regis and Kelly site that it’s not necessary to fix this, which is a relief, so I’m thinking of changing my schedule to suit my natural sleep pattern.

]]> Have money troubles ever kept you awake?  Has an argument ever robbed you of sleep?  If you are like most people, you have tossed and turned over something that has caused you anxiety.  I’ve even lost sleep worrying about not getting enough sleep – how silly is that?! 

The Today show took a look at the issue.  The solution is to develop better sleep habits and improved anxiety management.  Here are the main tips:

  • Implement a daily plan for managing your life
  • Practice stress-reduction techniques
  • Reality-check your thoughts
  • Keep a regular sleep routine
  • Maintain a relaxing sleep environment
  • Don’t toss and turn
  • Stop watching the clock

They also talked about when you should talk to a professional.  Some people may be experiencing symptoms of depression and/or an anxiety disorder and should seek help and support.  Here are some warning signs:

  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Feelings of helplessness
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Changes in appetite
  • Debilitating worrying
