			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sleep Apnea can be a serious <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problem</a> if not treated properly. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep and can go undetected for years.  <span id="more-252"></span></p>
<p>During central sleep apnea, which is a failure of respiratory control, it is common for the person suffering to wake up to offset the dilemma and shortly fall back asleep.  Until recently, that was seen as a suitable task for your health and was a natural defense against the <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping disorder</a>. Now, researchers are saying that <a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/SleepDisorders/12290">arising during central sleep apnea</a> can actually cause the <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping disorder</a> to be a normal occurrence.</p>
<p>Patients that suffered from central sleep apnea mostly woke up several seconds after the apnea itself occurred.  Because the apnea already happened, it leaves the body in a vulnerable position.  Waking up didn’t correct the problem; it only acted as a time out for the body while sleeping.</p>
<p>Sleep is a crucial act that must be taken seriously because it allows the body to rest and prepare for next day.  Having a sleep apnea problem only complicates the act itself and often leaves its victims tired throughout the day and lacking a complete amount of sleep.</p>
<p>According to a study performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only one in three Americans get enough sleep.  <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Sleep disorders</a> are becoming more and more common in society, and battling against them should be a priority to most.  The simple introduction of an all-natural, pill-free <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >sleep aid</a>, such as <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>, can be the difference of getting a healthy amount of sleep.  Not to mention, instituting <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> can help combat the frustrations created by sleep apnea and other <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping disorders</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Year is finally here and its time to make a serious resolution to solve your <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a>.    Resolutions such as losing weight or quitting smoking can be accomplished more smoothly with the correct amount of sleep on a daily basis, and getting a good nights sleep is the key to starting the year off right.<span id="more-248"></span></p>
<p>Small complications such as having anxiety from the day or having artificial light exposed to your eyes can pose <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28368686/">negative results on the outcome of your sleep</a>.  Most people watch T.V. or surf the web before closing their eyes for the night, but the human eye takes the bright lights projected from the screen and sends them to your brain, which translates those images into daylight and eventually reduces the efficiency of sleep.  Sleeping is actually a delicate act that can be interrupted very easily.</p>
<p>Having stress on your mind also confuses your brain when trying to sleep.  Stress alone drains the body of resources that are needed to perform basic tasks throughout the day.  Stress releases adrenaline that acts against your body when it is trying to shut down for the night.  <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Sleep aids</a>, such as sleeping pills, are most commonly used to fight off these deprivations of sleep.  However, sleep pills can throw your body’s sleep pattern off even more because they force your body to sleep instead of naturally letting it occur.</p>
<p>It’s extremely important that your body and mind have a natural sleeping pattern that isn’t interrupted by drugs of any sort.  The all-natural way of sleeping can be accomplished with the introduction of <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>.  <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> can help block out the garbage trying to get in your head before sleeping.  <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >Sleeping problems</a> have been disappearing like crazy due to the arrival of <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time to wrap up 2008 and dive full force into 2009.  2008 was a great year for <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>, but its time to look ahead to the future and focus solely on 2009.  Before we bid farewell to 2008, lets take a look at the stories that centered the attention on <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a> and sleeping aids.<span id="more-245"></span></p>
<p>The mid week of April 2008 had an informative post on <a href="http://speedsleep.com/news/why-do-human-beings-sleep/">why people need sleep</a> and the common benefits that it offers to the mind and body.  Sleeping plays a keys role in cognitive functions and allows the brain to function more efficiently the next day. Having a daily normal sleep pattern can help a person avoid <a href="http://speedsleep.com" title='sleep problems'>sleep problems</a> and <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >sleep disorders</a>.</p>
<p>Late July had an interesting article for parents that linked <a href="http://speedsleep.com/news/sleep-and-child-development-the-importance-of-sleep-for-your-childs-growth/">sleeping to child development</a>.  WebMD discovered the need for children to have a sufficient amount of sleep to ensure proper mind and body development.  It is especially important for kids not to combat their sleeping methods with over-the-counter drugs because they can confuse the body’s natural biological clock.  Natural <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >sleep aids</a>, such as the <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> CD, should be used to assist sleeping methods.</p>
<p>A scary post for the month of November exposed the link between <a href="http://speedsleep.com/news/lack-of-sleep-linked-to-cancer-risk/">sleeping problems and cancer</a>.  It was an early study to find any significance between sleeping and cancer, and the results were shocking.  People with <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a> were 47% more likely to contract cancer that people who had none.  Cancer has recently been projected to over take heart disease as the number one killer in America, which makes it even more important for people to eliminate their <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a>.</p>
<p>Those were just a few of the many posts that were created to alert people on the importance of sleep.  2009 will have more sleep studies conducted and you can be sure that we will be here to make those available to you.  However, why not start 2009 properly by introducing <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> to your deprivation problem and finally take control of your sleep and start dreaming again.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>

Brainwave Entrainment is a practice that aims to cause brainwaves to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state. For example, Speed Sleep uses it to induce sleep.

Such a stimulus may be aural, as in the case of <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> with voice and music or else it can be visual, as with repetitive imagery such as videos of fractals or the classic spinning black and white spiral associated with hypnosis.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Entrainment is the most healthy way to guide your brain to sleep and help it stay there. The entrainment methods in <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> are designed to lead your brain progressively into slower and slower brainwaves as you sink deeper and deeper to sleep. From awake to profoundly asleep in minutes instead of hours. Unlike sleeping pills, entrainment helps you become healthier without any negative side effects. Also, once the brain learns the pattern it has a long lasting effect so you don’t need to listen to it forever. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Year is right around the corner and neutralizing a potentially harmful <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problem</a> should be at the top of many people’s resolution list.  A recent study conducted in Canada showed that people with the <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_73162.html">REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD</a>) can develop serious neurological diseases such as dementia and Parkinson’s disease.<span id="more-239"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >Sleeping problems</a> tend to be a common in today’s society thanks to all the clutter that floods people’s daily lives.  Introducing a solution to the problem, such as <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>, can easily solve <a href="http://speedsleep.com" title='sleep problems'>sleep problems</a>.  Not everyone will have to worry about developing serious disease; only a small percentage is ever affected - but it is still important to take control of your sleep and have it benefit you instead of work against you.</p>
<p>Sleeping is like charging your cell phone.  If you don’t do it you are risking a power failure, or in a sleep related situation, an energy breakdown.  The New Year can usually bring odd resolutions to ones mind such as: losing a large amount of weight in a diminutive window of time, getting a new girlfriend/boyfriend before Valentines Day, or paying off your mountain of credit card debt before the summer arrives.  Those are all good resolutions but the chances of reaching those goals successfully can be really difficult and almost impossible.  Accordingly, most people are better off taking baby steps towards feeling better, like improving the quality of their sleep.</p>
<p>Improving one&#8217;s sleep will easily make the body and mind produce more useful energy resulting in easier days.  Imagine getting a perfect night sleep, every night, and waking up with an energetic smile instead of a groggy yawn.  Tackling a <a href="http://speedsleep.com" title='sleep problem'>sleep problem</a> will not only decrease your chances of a serious disease, but it can also change how you go about your daily life.  Try introducing <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a> to correct your sleeping dilemma and finally get the amount of sleep that your body needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a no-brainer that getting a good amount of sleep on a regular basis is an important factor in how people function throughout the day.  A <a href="http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2008/12/19/eline/links/20081219elin004.html">recent sleep study performed in China</a> that lasted nearly a decade showed <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a>, such as too much or lack off sleep, can have an absolutely horrific effect on your overall health.  Simply put: being sleep deprived is extremely harmful and oversleeping also poses health risks.  <span id="more-236"></span>Doing either can increase your chances of heart disease over time - we are guessing that having a heart attack isn’t on many peoples&#8217; New Year&#8217;s resolution lists.</p>
<p>Here are some numbers from the study to think about: people who slept five hours or less were fifty-seven percent more likely to be affected by heat disease while people who slept nine hours or more were at a seventy-nine percent greater risk.  That said, you don’t need to freak out if after a long night out on the weekend you happen to sleep for significant amount of time, let&#8217;s say ten or even twelve hours.</p>
<p>Nor do you have to worry if you only get four to five hours of sleep the night before a meeting or anything else that is semi-important - every once in awhile is perfectly okay.  However, If you find yourself sleeping in for hours on multiple days of the week, or depriving yourself of sleep, you might want to find an alternative method to help combat your <a href="http://speedsleep.com">sleeping problem</a>.</p>
<p>The usual solution that people reach for is sleeping pills, which is a horrible way to resolve to a potentially serious problem.  Essnetially, sleep meds can make you become dependant on them, so you won’t sleep unless you pop a pill.  Soon enough, pills can lose their effect once your body is familiar with them, meaning you&#8217;ll need to swallow more pills to get the same ole’ night&#8217;s sleep again.  So what other solutions are out there that will help you get a regular, normal amount of sleep without the worry of side affects and other potentially harmful health issues?  The answer (drum roll please&#8230;) <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>, an incredible <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >audio sleep aid</a> that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep, drug free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is yet another reason that <a href="http://www.speedsleep.com" >sleeping problems</a> can have serious long term repercussions - researchers at the National Cancer Institute have reported that women who consistently slept less than seven hours a night have a <a href="http://include.nurse.com/article/20081202/ALL01/101120027/0/frontpage">47% higher risk of cancer</a>.<span id="more-221"></span></p>
<p>Of course, sleep deprivation alone doesn&#8217;t cause cancer - there are a host of other factors that play a role (in fact, the same study reported that getting regular exercise can lower the cancer threat).  However, sleeplessness can be a simple problem to fix; it could be as easy as trying an <a href="http://speedsleep.com">audio sleep aid</a> like <a href="http://speedsleep.com" >Speed Sleep</a>.  What do you have to lose, besides an increased risk of future problems?</p>
