Robert's Jacksonville Toddler Sleep Blog

Obstructive sleep apnea can be a life-threatening condition. Here at 7Hour Slumber, we want to make sure our Jacksonville insomnia customers are aware of the symptoms and dangers of sleep apnea.

Persons with sleep obstructive apnea stop breathing intermittently during sleep when the back of their throat constricts and blocks the air. Many Wilmington and Charlemont people currently being treated for apnea were unaware they had it until their spouse noticed the rhythm of their breathing changed during sleep.

If you sleep all through the night but still feel tired and groggy during the day, you could have sleep obstructive apnea. Symptoms of sleep apnea are fairly obvious. Periods of breathing lapses, loud snoring and gasping for breath can occur several times during the night without the person remembering them the next day. To determine if you need to see a doctor, ask your partner or other family member to observe your sleeping. (Be prepared to be shaken violently until you wake up and take a breath!) If you sleep alone, you can record yourself sleeping to determine if you demonstrate apnea symptoms.

Many Jacksonville people are diagnosed with sleep apnea every year. Risk factors include obesity, large tonsils, nasal congestion, and a deviated septum. It is most common in middle-age Jacksonville men but is also found among all age groups in Wilmington and Charlemont. Wilmington teens and Jacksonville children with large tonsils can also develop obstructive sleep apnea.

7Hour Slumber is a non habit forming sleep medication that is effective for non-apnea sleep issues. If you can’t seem to get enough sleep because you wake up too early, 7Hour Slumber is the natural sleeping solution for staying asleep until the morning. If your partner is currently using a CPAP breathing machine and the noise makes it difficult for you to fall asleep, 7Hour Slumber can help you start your night out right by falling asleep fast.

Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Robert Conner. As you have probably guessed, there are some nights when I simply cannot sleep sound. I brush my teeth, climb onto my swedish mattress, relax under my Turquoise down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!

Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as 7Hour Slumber or Sleep2Night, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.

First, I rid my Jacksonville bedroom of all the distractions. I can’t believe how much paperwork piles up in a few days. I don’t want to lie awake thinking about the car insurance premium that is due on my truck or the ten page application for my daughter to attend University of Central Florida. I even close my laptop and take it out of the bedroom.

Next, I bargain with my sweetie for a massage exchange. I promise to give an incredible rubdown tomorrow night if I can get one tonight. Lavender or chamomile oil is the crowning touch.

Next, I meditate to the sound of the surf lapping at the shore. No, I don’t live on the beach, but I do live in a nice Jacksonville neighborhood near downtown. To hear waves, chirping birds or a gentle breeze rustling the trees, I turn on relaxing ambient sleep music.

If these things don’t do the trick, I pull out the heavy artillery. I take Sleep2Night, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Jacksonville. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 8. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open. See http://bestsleepaids.net for a good night sleep.

Once upon a time there was a Turquoise car-drivin’ entrepreneur named Robert Conner (that’s me) who lived in Jacksonville, FL. Robert’s father has had heart problems since he was relatively young and isn’t an example of heart-healthy eating. Robert’s mother, who lives in Jacksonville, suffers from emphysema due to smoking. Robert plans to be around to spoil grandchildren in twenty years, so is trying hard to break the chain of parents’ poor examples when it comes to health.

Robert eats a healthy diet, sweats regularly at a gym in Charlemont and can often be found doing the downward dog at a Wilmington yoga studio. Robert has a strong immune system and, fortunately, hardly ever gets sick. (Don’t discount the obsessive hand-washing.) And in case you were wondering, Robert doesn’t touch cigarettes.

This all sounds good so far, right? Here is the problem. In spite of diligence, Robert often feels less-than-normal. Why? Insomnia. Not occasional sleeplessness, Robert goes weeks with wide awake sleep time. Our poor insomniac has watched all the old movies that play on TCM–several times each!

If you suffer from insomnia, you know that it doesn’t matter if you have a heart rate of 20, a bloodstream free of cholesterol and can run a four-minute mile–you still feel lousy!

A friend in Marlboro challenged me to compare some good sleep aids to find one that works for me. I start tonight with Melotrex. I did some extensive research and found only positive feedback about this all natural sleep remedy. I will use it for a week and then try 7Hour Slumber to see which one is the most effective for chronic sleeplessness. Check back soon for the end of the story.

I hope to live (and sleep) happily ever after.
