Sleep is a common problem among boomers and seniors. Not addressing it could not only be disastrous medically and socially, it could be life-threatening.

Sleeping better helps you perform at optimal levels and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Are you getting a good night's sleep?

Learn the tips for good sleeping.

Know what's in the drugs you take and even the recommended time of day to take them.

Identify the signs, symptoms, tools and assessments available for people struggled with sleep disorders.

If all else fails, speak to the Sleep Doctor.

And don't let the bedbugs bite.

Ah sleep, it's my friend - I try to make it. I just love lots of sleep. I'm sure I could do with less, but it's great stuff. I was just reading about how sleep helps you with mental health, not just physical health. Another reason it's important. Here's the place I saw that: http://brainfitnessforseniors.com/7keys/

 I went to the site and tuned into Oasis II.  I am fascinated with the device but would like to try it prior to purchase.  Is there a way to do that?

Sleep is the only free elixer for our bodies that is readily available any place and at any time. The problem is that our stress levels, consumption of stimulants and other factors often make it difficult to get the sleep that our bodies need.

I am a researcher in education and peak performance training and distributor for a sleep aid device that also improves your general well-being. The device is called the Oasis II and uses a form of nuerofeedback brain wave training(AVE) to improve sleep in as few as one, half hour training session. The Oasis II is manufactured by Mind Alive, Inc. the company that pioneered the use of audi visual entrainment (AVE) in schools and senior homes to improve sleep, cognition and focus. 

My research has demonstrated that adults and children who use audio visual entrainment often find their sleep improved immediately after the first session. One of my colleagues at school was using Ambien because the stress levels in her life prevented her from getting a restorative sleep. After three, 30 minute sessions of audio visual entrainment she reported deep, restful sleep for the first time in years. Over the course of a month using the audio visual entrainment she was able to stop using the Ambien with minimal side effects.

Feel free to visit my website at: www.ourlifedesigns.com and click on the Oasis II link for more information.

Peace,

Steve
