Get a Good Night's Sleep
Go to Sleep!
Evidence linking sleep with behavior, mood and learning continues to grow. Now scientists are finding that reduced or disrupted sleep appears to increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
"The depth and breadth of sleep problems is not fully appreciated in this country," says US Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona. "Chronic sleep loss and untreated sleep disorders have a profound impact on Americans of all ages--they affect 70 million Americans and cost our nation $15 billion in health care expenses."
At the first NIH National Sleep Conference, March 29 and 30, participants looked at how insufficient sleep and sleep disorders impact the body's immune function, the development of psychiatric conditions including depression, and the progression of other chronic medical conditions such as breathing disorders and lung diseases, arthritis, and neurological disorders.
"We are all affected by sleep problems," adds Dr. Carl Hunt, Director of the National Center for Sleep Disorder Research, a Congressionally-mandated organization. "Even if you personally get sufficient sleep to feel refreshed each day, chances are you interact with someone who has a sleep problem. It could be your mother, whose sleep apnea increases her chances of developing heart disease; your carpool driver, who might be at increased risk for a car crash because of poor sleep; or your child, who has trouble in school because she doesn't get enough sleep at night."
Your Body Needs Rest to Rejuvenate
Too often, we sit down to relax or lie down to sleep, only to have our minds replay the day's events and anticipate tomorrow's. The body needs periods of rest and peace so that it can rejuvenate and build its defenses. At Nature's Sunshine we realize the lack of sleep will compromise your immune system. We have some formulas which are our favoites. These are two products I never go without.
Nutri-Calm - Nature's Stress Buster - Stock #1617-3 (100)
As technology advances to make our lives easier, we quickly fill our schedules with more stress than ever. Life's problems, daily worries and occasional upheavals lead to a hectic life with littel time to rest or relax. Nutri-Calm is loaded with B-complex vitamins. B-vitamins healp soothe frayed nerves. This unique formula provides these generous amounts of vitamins in a base of healthful herbs and nutrients. Nutri-Calm boosts the immune system, helps the body relax and encourages restful sleep.
I personally use this multi vitamin on days when stress is making me a little crazy. Whenever I begin to feel myself getting uptight I take one tablet.

Herbal Sleep - Get to Sleep Naturally - Stock #940-8 (100)
Herbal Sleep is a gentle blend of valerian root, passionflower and hops flower. These herbs feed and strengthen the nerves and allow the body to help you achieve the restful sleep your body needs.
I keep a bottle of these available at all times. I especially depend on it during the days I am menstrating, have a headache and when I am experiencing aches and pains.
