Financial fretting is the biggest cause for lost sleep

Work problems disturb sleep for 16pc of people, while family worries disrupt sleep for a further 16pc.

Technology also has an impact, with 14pc admiting they lose valuable sleep by using a smartphone or tablet in bed, according to the first National Sleep Survey, commissioned by the King Koil bed company.

More than one in five blames staying up too long as the reason they lose sleep.

Some 18pc are regularly disturbed by children in the night and 13pc are disturbed by their partner snoring or moving excessively. Overall, only 36pc of people think they are getting enough sleep.

Only 42pc reported getting eight hours sleep at night, which is right on target, as 7-9 hours sleep is the recommended amount for optimum health.

Just 7pc get less than six hours sleep.

Seven out of 10 single people admitted to not getting enough sleep on week nights, and some regularly 'binge sleep' at the weekend with all-day lie-ins. Some 15pc reported calling in sick at work, on more than one occasion, after a sleepless night.

The month of September has been dedicated 'Sleeptember' with a campaign, backed by GP Nina Byrnes, designed to provide advice on good sleep and its health benefits.

Restorative

"We should never underestimate the restorative power of a good night's sleep. Both those having difficulty sleeping, and those who sleep with them, are affected, so it is very important to discuss the issue and seek medical advice," she said.

Solving the problem can be as simple as adopting good sleep habits, getting a new bed, or maybe changing the bedroom environment. For more disruptive sleep disorders, these can be investigated and treated at sleep clinics, she said.

A new website, Sleeptember.ie, will address common sleep problems and solutions.

Sleeping naked can be better for your health

Bad news for the lingerie and pajama industry: Sleeping naked may be better for your health.

Only around eight per cent of Americans sleep in the buff according to a National Sleep Foundation poll - but your birthday suit may be the best suit to sleep in.

For one, it helps to regulate your body's temperature and so get you a better night's sleep.

Your temperature fluctuates throughout the night - getting colder as you fall asleep and warmer as your get close to waking up - and jammies can interfere with these natural fluctuations.

As your temperature drops, night clothes can make you too hot, leading to tossing and turning, says Men’s Health sleep advisor W. Christopher Winter, M.D.

There are other reported benefits to shedding your sleepwear.

A study in the journal Diabetes concluded that sleeping naked as a jaybird can actually help you lose weight.

Not only does a chillier sleep rev up your metabolism but it increases production of a brown fat stored in your neck that burns calories in order to heat up your body - something that doesn't happen if your PJs are doing the warming up work for you, according  to Men's Health.

Sleeping in the raw also helps protects your private parts, according to Brian Steixner, M.D., a urologist based in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

This is because pyjamas and underwear can keep heat and moisture in and create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Both men and women's genitalia will benefit from having an airy, cooler, dryer place to sleep at night.

Sperm production can also be helped by sleeping au natural. Tight underwear and too warm testicles are bad for the swimmies, according to Men's Health.

A cooler sleep also helped the body regulate the stress hormone cortisol.

On top of all of these reported health benefits, sleeping naked against a partner increases your oxytocin levels.

This 'cuddle chemical' - also called the 'love hormone'- helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, fosters feelings of bonding and even lowers blood pressure, according to Raw Story.

But not every nationality seems to have an aversion to sleeping naked. According to a 2013 survey by the National Sleep Foundation, one-third of British people reported sleeping in the buff, reports Live Science.

As for why people don't sleep naked, no doubt fear of middle-of-night emergencies, naked sleepwalking, children and house guests are among the reasons.

Morning school and work schedules are terrible for our health

A startling number of teenagers and young adults are chronically sleep deprived, and the answer is starting school or work later, one sleep expert argues.

According to Paul Kelley, a sleep researcher at the University of Oxford, children between the ages of eight and 10 should start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m., 16-year-olds should start at or after 10 a.m., and 18-year-olds at 11 a.m or later.

The suggestions come from a recent study published by Kelley and his colleagues in the journal Learning, Media and Technology.

"At the age of 10 you get up and go to school and it fits in with our nine-to-five lifestyle," Kelley said Tuesday at the British Science Festival, The Guardian reported. "When you are about 55 you also settle into the same pattern. But in between it changes a huge amount and, depending on your age, you really need to be starting around three hours later, which is entirely natural."

Adults could benefit from a later start, too. People between the ages of 18 and 55 should be starting work at 10 a.m. or later, Kelley added.

Messing with our natural body clock, or circadian rhythms, has been linked to a host of mental and physical problems, including cognitive impairment, anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

The age range where we experience the most sleep deprivation is 14 to 24, when we get about two hours too little sleep per night. From age 24 to 30, we get about 1.5 hours too little, and from 30 to 55, we lose about an hour, Kelley told Business Insider. And the effects are cumulative. "Each day of sleep loss is added on to the next, until have chance to [sleep in]," Kelley said.

Let the teens sleep in
In line with Kelley's advice, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools should aim for a start time of no earlier than 8:30 a.m., and the US Department of Health recently published a study in favor of later start times. Research suggests that later school start times can improve daytime sleepiness and mood, but this has not been studied on a large scale in a randomized trial in the UK until now, Kelley said.

Kelley has been working with neuroscientists Russell Foster of Oxford and Steven Lockley of Harvard Medical School to study the effects of shifted school schedules on academic performance.

They are leading a project called Teensleep, which aims to study the effect of later start times at 100 schools throughout the UK among students aged 14 to 16.

During the project, whose results are scheduled to be published by September 2018, each school will be randomly assigned to have either an early or late start time. The researchers will also educate students at some of the schools about healthy sleep habits.

Academic performance will be measured by standardized national tests, which are given to all UK students. To determine if school start time had an effect on test scores, the findings will be analyzed by an independent group of researchers, so as not to bias the results.

Screen addicts and night owls
Of course, the time we start school or work is not the only factor affecting how much quality sleep we get.

The hours we spend exposing ourselves to bright light from our computers, phones and other devices are also eating into our sleep by preventing our brains from producing a chemical, called melatonin, that tells us its time for bed, studies suggest.

Avoiding bright screens an hour before sleep could make a big difference in the amount of sleep we get, Kelley said.

Research has also shown that people's natural sleep cycles, or chronotypes, vary. Some people (called "larks") wake up early and go to bed early, whereas others ("owls") wake up later and stay up late. So although the average teen wakes up later than kids or older adults, not all do.

Still, adjusting school start times for the average teen could be a step in the right direction.

Tips for a Good Night's Sleep

It's 4 a.m. and I'm starting to regret that green tea I had after dinner. I'm sure that late night detective movie before bed didn't help matters either. Frankly, I know how to take care of myself, but sometimes I just think I'm immune to the common ailment called insomnia.

The truth is between 30 and 40 percent of adults in the United States have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep at some point during any given year, according to The National Sleep Foundation. Another 10 to 15 percent of the population considers their insomnia to be a chronic problem.

We all struggle from time to time with getting sleep. Either we have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or even just getting enough sleep. It's when it becomes a habit that our health can suffer.

Poor sleep is associated with a range of heart problems, including high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attack. New research shows a link between insomnia and heart failure.

How to Get the Sleep You Need

Often, the first thing yoga students tell me when they start a daily yoga practice is that they are sleeping better. They report falling asleep easier and sleeping more deeply. That's because yoga has a lot of tools to combat insomnia and sleep issues.

Here are some of my favorites:

Walking Meditation

Walking slowly without the "push" of exercise calms the nervous system and allows the energy of the mind to gently inhabit the spaces of the body. When we practice walking mediation, we begin to let go of that restlessness that may inhibit sleep. If you walk too fast, it can be stimulating and work against your efforts to romance the mind into sleep. When you slow it down, it can pacify even the busiest mind and bring relief to that feeling I call "wired tired."

Rest with Your Legs Up the Wall

This brings fresh blood back to the heart so the heart doesn't have to pump so hard. In turn, it lowers blood pressure and heart rate. It can be quite calming and relaxing when done right before bed.

Deep Relaxation

This allows physical and mental tensions to gently unwind and dissipate. According to Dr. Ramadevi Gourineni, the director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Evanston, Illinois, insomnia is believed to be a 24-hour problem of hyper arousal, and elevated measures of arousals are seen throughout the day. Their study shows that using deep relaxation techniques during the day can help improve sleep at night.

Alternate Nostril Breathing

This calms the nervous system and quiets the mind. It has long been used as a practice to prepare the mind for meditation as it balances the nervous system and the hemispheres of the brain. Just 10 minutes before bed can help you transition into a relaxed and peaceful mind space. Try this Alternate Nostril Breathing audio practice.

Unplug

Try turning off all technology at least one hour prior to sleeping. Technology keeps the mind engaged and busy, making it next to impossible to drift off into sleep. The light emitted from phones, computers and televisions screens can also affect sleep patterns. Research shows that room light can suppress your natural levels of melatonin and shorten your body's internal representation of the length of the night. That means that chronically exposing yourself to electrical lighting in the late evening can potentially impact your sleep. Keeping the room dark in general can promote good sleep.

Avoid Caffeine

Stop consuming caffeine after noon, and for those who are sensitive to caffeine, you may not be able to drink any without it interfering with sleep patterns. Even dark chocolate and green tea can be too stimulating.

Maintain A Regular Sleep Routine

Going to bed and getting up at the same time each day helps the body find a healthy rhythm. This can be one of the most important keys to good sleep and good health.

Read Something Inspiring

Reading something uplifting right before sleep can be just the right way to set the mind at ease and support a sense of security and peace so the mind can gently drift off.

Treat Yourself to a Warm Bedtime Drink

My favorite is warm skim milk with a dash of nutmeg. Other good ones include chamomile tea with lavender and tart cherry juice with vanilla. These are easy to make and have additional healing properties.

Reduce Unnecessary Stimulation

In addition to avoiding caffeine, it's important to reduce added stimulation such as heated conversations, spicy foods, heavy exercise, cleaning, or excessive work. This includes that late night movie murder mystery or any other stimulating input.

Deep and restful sleep is imperative to good health and the healing process. Our daily Ornish stress management practices have all the components to promote deep and restful sleep. If you hit a bump in the road, it can be helpful to review some of your sleep routines and use some of these strategies to get back on track.

Sleeping Less Than Six Hours A Night Increases The Risks Of An Early Death

Not getting six hours of sleep a night increases the chances of an early death by an incredible 12%, according to health experts.

Hormones are released as a result of sleep loss that speeds up the heart rate and raises blood pressure.

Oh, over a third of the UK population are currently putting themselves at risk- so this is a major issue.

The health problems that are encouraged by sleep deficit include diabetes, obesity and heart disease, reports the Independent.

Public Health England have launched a nationwide campaign to get people to make seven lifestyle changes including stopping smoking, drinking less alcohol and sleeping more.

A key age bracket where people can positively affect their future health is between 40 and 60 - which Public Health England describes as ‘a unique but neglected opportunity for intervention.’

Lisa Artis from the British Sleep Council said: ’Lack of sleep is a growing problem. Firstly people don’t place enough importance on sleep and the health benefits being well-rested can have.”

‘Secondly, unlike a lot of well understood life changes such as eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, sleep isn’t really on the agenda.

‘Unlike diet sleep is a hard thing to regiment and a whole number of factors such as having small children, having other health issues and environmental factors can all disturb sleep patterns.’

Middle-aged people have been advised to sleep 7-9 hours a day

Lloyds Pharmacy pharmacist, Alison Freemantle said: ‘The average middle aged adult should be aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep a night, as this is all that should be needed to feel well rested.

‘However, everyone is different, and the amount of time needed can range from 6-10 hours, so if you feel sleepy during the day, then you may need to make sure you increase your hours.’

So sleep more, drink less hooch and quit the smokes - basically live less like a film noir villain and you should be okay.

Stop yawning. 3 reasons why you need more sleep

    Life certainly dictates its own pace. As the demands of busy schedules pile up, it seems a good night's sleep is the first thing to go. The lack of adequate sleep knows no boundaries. Young people suffer from the same decline of proper sleeping habits as often as their parents. And in an effort to compensate for lost time, the loss of sleep carries its own consequences. Sleep is essential not only to getting through daily life, but also improving the quality of it. Here are 3 reasons why a good night's sleep is worth your time.
    1. Your mind needs quiet time

    During the day, our senses are constantly bombarded with sights, sounds, tastes, and smells. You may think you are used to it by now, but the only way your brain is able to process and organize that information is through sleep, specifically during the REM stage.

    When you sleep, your brain is not being inundated with all sorts of information thus allowing it to strengthen the neural connections it's already made during wakefulness. If you turn your back on sleep, you would still be able to form connections and memories, but they would be weak and unstable, disrupting your brain's ability to retrieve information.

    According to a Harvard articleby Dr. Robert Stickgold, "Research suggests that sleep helps learning and memory in two distinct ways. First, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently. Second, sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information."

    As tempting as it may be for your student to pull an all-nighter in preparation for tomorrow's exam, she would be better suited to go to bed early, get a healthy amount of sleep and wake up earlier to study for her exam.
    2. Your physical performance significantly decreases

    "Not getting enough sleep has been linked to a laundry list of mental and physical health problems, including those that stem from an impaired immune system," wrote Denise Mann in her WebMD article, Can Better Sleep Mean Catching Fewer Colds? Our immune system is designed to protect us from colds, flu, and other ailments, but when it is not functioning properly, it fails to do its job. The consequences can include more sick days."

    You may also have to pay a few more visits to the doctor, since your immune system and sleep are heavily linked. Sleep deprivation hinders the production of T-cells, which are basically the cells in your body that fight off infection and viruses. So, not only do you feel miserable and tired, but you have to pay for it (literally) as well.

    Our body is designed to trigger signals at times of need. It signals when it is hungry and needs energy, and it signals when it is tired and needs to be rested. Just as poor eating habits create an adverse effect on the body, so can inadequate sleeping patterns.
    3. You have a better attitude

    Did your temper get out of hand today? Are you feeling stressed and out of focus? Is your outlook on life negative and cynical? Maybe the answer is to get in your eight hours. People have reported significantly better attitudes when they get enough sleep, not to mention lower levels of stress, depression and anxiety.

    There is no simple answer as to why sleep affects your mood, but it has to do with your energy. It takes energy to go through your daily life, and when you don't have sufficient energy to do that, you become frustrated and stressed.

    We all need our sleep, but the amount varies with age. According to the National Sleep Foundation, toddlers around one to two years need an average of 11 to 14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. School-aged children around the ages of 6 to 13 years need approximately 9 to 11 hours of sleep.

    Ironically, this is the age where responsibilities and activities that occur outside of the home demand much of your child's time. So it's important to teach your children the importance of time management to better maintain a healthy sleep schedule. You want to establish healthy sleep habits now that can carry your child into his later years.

    For adults, the predominant number is eight hours. By the way, honoring a healthy sleep schedule is a wonderful example for your children. If they see you regularly pulling an all-nighter to get a project finished, the lesson is learned quickly.

    Not only does sleep make you feel good, it's a necessary component to functioning properly. Sleep strengthens your mind, your body, your immune system, and your disposition. So, grab your pillow. You're not just sleeping, you are building a better, stronger and healthier you — one dream at a time.

Sleeping with Jeff Bridges has become a nightmare

If cult actor and sometime country musician Jeff Bridges’ new album, Sleeping Tapes, is aimed at anyone, it is people like me. I have, on numerous occasions when Radio 3 is getting a bit severe, typed into YouTube “drowsy music drones” or “guaranteed to make you sleep” in a desperate quest to silence my chattering mind. I’ve even dipped my toe in the world of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), hours of videos, all with millions of views, of people softly speaking at you about a massage they’re going to give, or ordering you a hotel room.
Bridges’ record is sort of ASMR-plus and claims to draw on his years of practising meditation and studying zen philosophy. It’s also basically a massive advert for the website-designing platform Squarespace, which you might know because it sometimes appears to sponsors every podcast ever made, to show off how even a big old hippy such as Jeff Bridges can build own website.
So for the past few nights, I’ve put on a novelty T-shirt and my night shorts, climbed in to bed and let the Dude soothe me to sleep.
The first thing I notice in my dopey state is how quickly I come to accept that the ambient noises Bridges has recorded – of flowing streams and whistling wind – are, in fact, outside my window. The most soothing sounds come from Bridges himself, his grunts and whistles sound like a storm brewing or an acorn skimming a lake. I picture him laying in the soil, moss growing over his beard, with a microphone hanging down from a branch. As I said, I’m a sucker for this kind of thing.
There are some astonishingly lovely moments. A bedtime story about a tenor saxophone player who uses Play-Doh to keep his fingers limber. Bridges talking to some children about how, when his daughter was younger, he agreed to meet her by a special tree in both their dreams.
On one track, Feeling Good, he just says nice things about you: “I like your haircut, you order well at restaurants, you have excellent insights about popular movies, you’re very good at guessing when a traffic light will turn green.” Cheers, Jeff.

It should all be a bit of a gimmick, but it works rather well; I’ll doze in and out initially, feeling upbeat and sleepy. Often, I wake up for a few tracks only to fall back asleep, but in three attempts I’ve never made it to the end of album.
The problem, though, is that, when I sleep, Bridges sticks around. He becomes the narrator of my dreams, passing comment as I go about my imaginative business. One night, after I’d gone out drinking in real life, I felt thirsty in my dream, and Bridges was there extolling the virtues of drinking water, just as he does on the tapes. I woke up and went to the tap, feeling both quenched and as if a Hollywood actor had rewired my subconscious.
Basically, it helps you get to sleep, but it plays with your dreamlike state so much that your concept of reality quickly degenerates. I’m almost certain that, one night, while wearing my night shorts, I will meet Bridges by that tree, and we can both lie in the soil.

Best Winter Sleeping Bags

One can decide on their own sleeping arrangement by carrying one of these. Be it outside camping or making visits to places on a vacation, Coleman sleeping bags provide the comfort of carrying them.

It was a revolutionary idea until the army fell to its foes. After the war he had many of these bags still left and decided to market them to the public. The idea caught on and eventually came with the option for a built in pillow for more comfort. Basically the term sleeping bag essentially means a protective bag for someone to sleep in. and is basically two blankets that can be zipped together in cases where a bed is not available. There are a couple different shapes of bags outlined below.

While originally being just two blankets zipped together, over the years the technology has allowed manufacturers t fill them with synthetic material creating better heat retention than the old styles.

Synthetic will keep you warm however it tends to compress easier and the bottom of the bag will let cool air in because of this. Without going into too much depth about how they arrive at these numbers, basically they check the best sleeping bags under stringent guidelines utilizing a clothed dummy sporting long underwear and a hat. Sensors on the mannequin record temperature readings. The lower the number, the colder the external ambient temperature can be where the bag will keep you warm.
