This is a 2 to 4 hour period before sleep onset in which the insomniac has a lot of trouble falling asleep.

First night effect is the observation that a lot of folks don’t sleep very well their first night in the sleep lab.

Excessive daytime somnolence is a fancy term for being really sleepy and having a lot of trouble staying awake (even after getting quite a bit of sleep).

Here’s another troubling statistic. A recent Gallup poll discovered that 56% of adults indicate that “daytime drowsiness” is causing them trouble. As this site continually reiterates, sleep deprivation interferes with physical and psychological health.

Well, the National Sleep Foundation has determined that a whopping 1/3 of our lives is spent asleep. Think about that for a minute! It’s really a staggering thought. And, people really can’t afford for that 1/3 to go incorrectly. In other words, there’s a reason why nature has determined that we should spend such an immense amount of time asleep. We need it. And, if you’re having issues with sleep problems, read on for help.

“Too Many People Accept Sleeping Poorly.” The title of this post is a direct quote written by two doctors: Dr. Kathy Sexton-Radek and Dr. Gina Graci. They maintain that sleep medicine is a relatively young discipline. In other words, sleeping pills like Rozerem and Ambien etc. haven’t been available for a long time. Notwithstanding, the pharmaceutical, sleep science is rapidly advancing, and, according to my personal experiences, now that there is Rozerem to provide the melatonin assistance, nothing more is really needed. So, if you are having trouble with insomnia, don’t be like the many who simply accept their sleep problems as a way of life. Don’t be depressed about it. Get yourself some help in a pill that will change your life for the better.
