Relieve Insomnia with 5 Acupressure Points

According to the National Sleep Foundation, every week almost 60% of Americans suffer from insomnia-like symptoms. These symptoms include waking and not feeling refreshed, problems with staying asleep and the inability to fall asleep quickly. If you are experiencing insomnia-like symptoms, try acupressure for a good night’s sleep instead of taking sleep medication. Acupressure has shown to help insomniac sufferers fall asleep for longer and have a better quality sleep, according to a study in Milan, Italy at the San Gerardo Hospital.

 

 2 Acupressure points on the ankles:

The Acupressure Points (K 6 and B 62) between your heel and anklebones (on both sides) have traditionally been used to relieve and prevent insomnia. The acupressure point on the inside of the heel below your inner anklebone is called Joyful Sleep. Can you guess what to do to obtain joyful sleep? Just hold this ankle acupressure point while taking deep breaths for a few minutes before you go to bed.

4 Tips for Getting to Sleep Naturally

• Gentle Stretching – Before you try to go to sleep, gently stretch your arms, legs, side-to-side bends, and massage your shoulders and neck.
• Eye Stretches – With your eyes open, move your eyes slowly in a large circle – three times in each direction. Repeat this slow eye rotation with your eyes closed while breathing deeply. End by stretching your arms up and back as you take a few deep breaths.
• Induce Yawning – Exaggerate several yawns, as you stretch your arms and legs.
• Deeply Relax – Nestle comfortably into a very relaxed position. Take several slow, deep breaths as you enjoy relaxing. Focus on taking slower and deeper breaths. Let yourself completely relax.

Relaxation techniques for insomnia

(1)Abdominal breathing. Breathing deeply and fully, involving not only the chest, but also the belly, lower back, and ribcage, can help relaxation. Close your eyes and take deep, slow breaths, making each breath even deeper than the last. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

(2)Progressive muscle relaxation. Make yourself comfortable. Starting with your feet, tense the muscles as tightly as you can. Hold for a count of 10, and then relax. Continue to do this for every muscle group in your body, working your way up from your feet to the top of your head.

(3)Mindfulness meditation. Sit or lie quietly and focus on your natural breathing and how your body feels in the moment. Allow thoughts and emotions to come and go without judgment, always returning to focus on breath and your body.

Sleep deprivation and try acupressure message for better sleep

sleep deprivation and sleep disorders

It is estimated that 50 to 70 million Americans chronically suffer from a disorder of sleep and wakefulness, hindering daily functioning and adversely affecting health and longevity. The cumulative long-term effects of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders have been associated with a wide range of deleterious health consequences including an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.

Sleep deprivation and depression

Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function.

Sleep deprivation has been tied to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.

Microsleeps really help…Stay calm

Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction. Complete absence of sleep over long periods has not been seen in humans (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia); it appears that brief microsleeps cannot be avoided. Long-term total sleep deprivation has caused death in lab animals. Microsleeps could be significant for insomnia people since it still “charge” you in a very efficient way.

Sleep disorder and Insomnia are brothers

Insomnia and depression feed on each other. Sleep loss often aggravates the symptoms of depression, and depression can make it more difficult to fall asleep. On the positive side, treating sleep problems can help depression and its symptoms, and vice versa.

How many types of sleeping disorders?

Many people suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleepwalking and sleep-paralysis, which make it very difficult  for them to get quality sleep no matter how hard they try.

Those of us who have trouble sleeping at night, will truly understand or appreciate the value of a good night’s sleep.

 

Insomina is Spiritual problem?

The reason people often do not get relief through conventional medical treatments is that the root cause of most sleep disorders lies in the spiritual dimension. In order to treat spiritual problems effectively, a solution needs to be taken at a spiritual level. It could be somewhat difficult in the real world since the spirit world is much more complicated for ordinary people.

Sleeping pills have by far been the most common medical treatment, with nearly 9 million adults having taken prescription sleeping pills in the last 30 days, according to the press release. But this comes with well-established safety risks, including decreased mental alertness the morning after use.

These medications can cause next-day impairment of driving and other activities that require full alertness, leading physicians and patients to seek a drug-free alternative.

Sleepion is a unique and revolutionary product aimed at improving the environment of sleep with the combination of sound, light, and aroma. Through calming music, gentle light, and soothing aroma from natural ingredients, Sleepion will initially promote sleep, and then induce a deep non-REM sleep where your brain gets a chance to rest.

Sleeping devices

 

There are two types of sleep, REM sleep and non-REM sleep. Deep non-REM sleep is essential for brain maintenance, physical health and emotional well-being

For those who have tried eye masks, earplugs, or nose masks but cannot sleep well, stimulation of smell by calming aroma, hearing by relaxing music, and sight by dim candlelight and moonlight may unwind the body and mind.

Gently stimulate three senses: sight, hearing, and smell.  

Aroma

Aromatherapy is an essential component of the Sleepion 2 because it calms the brain and helps the body relax when sleeping. Five different aromas (Hinoki, Lavender, Germanium, Lemon Grass and Forrest) promote different activities in the brain.

Light

Characteristics of light include color temperature and luminance. According tosleep studies, 2,700 Kelvin in color temperature and 35% in luminance is the optimal range for sleep. The Sleepion 2 has a 2,500 Kelvin watt lightbulb that simulates the pulsing of a candle and the light of the moon, regulating biological rhythms and inducing a state of deep sleep once an individual falls asleep.

Sound

The choice of song is a pivotal part of the Sleepion 2. The Sleepion 2 comes pre-loaded with 32 different songs to promote healthier sleep, relaxation, and concentration throughout the day. All songs are the original composition of Kenichi Toki and are only available in the Sleepion 2.

Thoughts from a belcany on the construction camera_Can’t get any Simpler?

Thoughts from a belcany on the Construction camera

The #1 thinking is “Is it really necessary to use your expensive DSLR at the construction site ?

The purchase cost or rental cost is one thing. What really matters is the DSLR complicated camera setups, settings for time lapse video and it also difficult to ask the job site workers to take over. So you may foot the service company bills monthly or try to train your job site people to operate the DSLR.

Learned about the limited Shutter life of DSLR? It seems that the average statistic shutter life is around 100,000 shots. 100k shots is probably a big number for ordinary photo shots but it can be “toasted” so easily by the time lapse mode. Here is a good example: taking photos every 1 min then 1×60 min x24 hrs=1,440 shots per Day, Your DSLR will just burst in 69.44 days (100,000 divided by 1,440) which is only TWO Months!

My advice is

Try not to use DSLR for Construction camera recording. It’s too expensive to pay the service companies , too hard for the job site workers to use and the DSLR life is Two months only.

Lesson learned: Will you use your F-22 ( unit cost: USD 150M) to fight against the terrorists who carry AK 47?

2nd thinking: Is there any other inexpensive and easy to use solutions for the Construction job site workers?

There are some rugged and Point of View cameras like GoPro or Brinno to be a easier ways for the construction sites. These POVs are all features like

• Rugged with water proof cases
• Wide angel lens (>120 degrees, Field of View)
• Default external DC power input ( ensure long term shooting)
• Time lapse video Photography ( you can set up the camera by different Time intervals, say taking one photo every 1 minute )

The Brinno construction camera also featuring

• Rugged with water proof case ( It’s not water proof while DC-IN if using GoPro)

• “Timer” and ” Low light recording” ( the camera sleeps at night time)providing much more usefule time slots for you
• “Instant Video” and “Post Free“
• Truly “WEEKS” or “MONTHS” of battery ( GoPro  and the rest of camcorders —“Minutes” or “Hours” )

This review is from: Brinno TLC200 Pro HDR Time Lapse Video Camera (Electronics)

This is a great product. I’ve always wanted to do time lapse, but never wanted to get into all the mechanics of it. Who wants to tie up an expensive camera and risk it getting damaged or “permanently relocated?” Brinno makes time lapse stupid easy. It is almost a miracle in the palm of your hand. I read the manual, set up the camera and did a great first video of carpet being installed in my game room. Here’s all it takes: Position the camera, select the capture interval, turn the camera on, record the event, turn it off, let the Brinno do its thing (image processing), pop out the flash card, slip it in the computer. iPhoto loads it — BOOM! You’ve got a time lapse movie. It saves as an AVI, but when you load it into quick time (as in play it in quick time) it automatically gets converted into a .mov. It’s that easy. No assembling in post (as with the GOPRO unit). Seriously, this thing makes time lapse as easy as taking a snap shot. Image quality is very good. Size is shockingly small — in the palm of your hand. Light weight. I was even pleased with the packaging — rivals that of apple products. This is truly a user friendly device. Buy it and enjoy it.
