Tips to Reduce Allergens in the Bedroom

April 29, 2010 – 12:48 pm

Don’t let allergies prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. To protect yourself, the best strategy is to either eliminate the source of the allergy, or to minimize your exposure to it.
Something that’s creepy, but valuable, to think about is the fact that up to 80 percent of the dust in your bedroom either was, or still is, ALIVE. Dust is comprised of pollen, pet dander, skin, fungi, bacteria, dust mites, and other unwanted irritants. Dust is a…

Sleep Well & Sneeze Less with Sleep Number True Silver™

April 23, 2010 – 5:14 pm

I love spring …mostly because I can sleep with the windows open! Unfortunately, my husband suffers mildly from allergies, so he wants to keep the windows shut.
Allergies affect thousands of Americans each year and many people do not realize that their bedding may be causing their allergy discomfort! If you want to know how to sleep better, consider your bedding. Dust mites, pet dander, mold and mildew in our bedding can trigger allergic reactions. The results can be congestion,…

Sleep … it’s Just What the Doctor Ordered

March 26, 2010 – 1:29 pm

Hi, I’m Dr. John Spencer Ellis and I’m a fitness, wellness and personal development expert. I help people optimize their mental and physical performance through sleep, diet and exercise. Several years ago, I learned exactly what a quality night’s sleep can do for an athlete. While training on my mountain bike, I was hit by a car and badly injured. I tried acupuncture, stretching, and chiropractic to reduce the aches and pains; all were helpful, but the pain I felt…

HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT BED PILLOW

March 23, 2010 – 1:46 pm

When people find out that I develop pillows for Select Comfort, they often start asking me what kind of pillow they should sleep on based on their sleep issues. Many of their issues revolve around waking up with stiff shoulders, neck pain, back pain and snoring. (Usually it is a wife complaining about her husband’s snoring… because if we ourselves are the “snorer” we probably aren’t as impacted as the one sleeping next to us!)
So what do I recommend…

CAN NAPS MAKE YOU SMARTER?

March 4, 2010 – 1:23 pm

Interesting concept—can naps make you smarter? I was recently asked this question for a local media story. All of us have a set intellectual capacity—we can’t learn or increase that capacity sleeping. Similarly, we all have a set speed that we can run, but we’ll never know it or reach it without training and exercise, and proper nutrition. Unless we are sleeping very well, it appears we’ll not maximize our intellectual capacity.
Recent sleep research has clearly told us that…
