Heads Up! The Way You Are Sleeping May Be Killing You!

!±8± Heads Up! The Way You Are Sleeping May Be Killing You!

Every one of us has a mysterious double life.

For about two thirds of the time we are conscious beings, thinking about the world within and without, and negotiating our ways through the obstacles of life. For the other one third of the time we are nearly lifeless lumps of flesh, unconscious to everything but our own fantasies, as we lie flat in bed asleep. We all know that sleep is important for health. But for an activity that consumes about 8 hours of everyday of life, surprisingly little is thought about the act of sleeping, or the way our culture teaches us to sleep. Sleep behavior, like all human activities, is defined by our culture.

Sometimes, the practices taught by our culture can impact on the way our bodies function. As medical anthropologists, we research ways our cultural practices may be affecting our health. And we have found that the way we have been trained to sleep may be one of the most important causes of various diseases plaguing our society.

Of course, when you consider the culture of sleeping, it includes such isues as the length of time to sleep, and time of day for sleep. Do you take frequent naps or do you sleep 8 hours straight? Do you sleep at night or during the day?

Other issues concern sleepwear. Do you sleep nude, or with pajamas or lingerie? Do you sleep in your underwear? Should the sheets be natural fabrics, such as cotton or silk, or is polyester okay? What about the detergent and fabric softeners used in the sheets, pillow case, and pj's?

Should you eat before you sleep? What is the impact of watching television before sleep? Should you take sleeping pills to help you sleep?

These are some of the culturally defined issues that help determine how we sleep, all of which may have some potential impact on health. However, there is one cultural issue that tops the list of importance, and which may greatly determine your health status. It has to do with your sleep position. Are you sleeping on a firm, flat bed, face down, with your nose and eye compressed against the bed and pillow? Or are you on your back with your head slightly elevated, as is the case for many native cultures that use hammocks or other non-flat surfaces for sleep?

The reason we ask this last question is because the circulation to the head and brain is completely related to your body position when sleeping.

We all have had a time of experiencing dizziness or lightheadedness when getting out of bed too quickly. This effect is called orthostatic hypotension, and results from the fact that blood pressure falls when you lie down, and sudden raising of the head may temporarily deprive the brain of sufficient blood pressure, resulting in the dizziness or lightheadedness. The blood pressure soon rises, increasing the blood supply to the brain, as you feel normal again.

This phenomenon shows that the body's position, relative to gravity, influences head and brain circulation. You can also demonstrate this by doing a head stand, which many yoga practitioners do daily. Intracranial pressure rises dramatically, as blood rushes to the head, which becomes beet red, and the neck veins swell out, as blood pools in the venous system.

But apart from these examples, very little, if anything, is mentioned in medical physiology textbooks about gravity and its impact on circulation. Yet, you cannot fully understand brain circulation without considering gravity.

The effect of gravity on brain circulation is purely mechanical, and relates to the position of the head relative to the pumping heart. When we are standing up, the head is above the heart, so blood must pump against the force of gravity -- from the heart to the brain -- lowering the effective pressure with which the arterial blood is delivered to the brain. Meanwhile, drainage of blood from the brain to the heart is facilitated by the pull of gravity.

In contrast, when we lie down and are horizontal, the heart and head are now on the same plane. This eliminates the effects of gravity on brain circulation. Blood from the heart pumps powerfully into the head without gravity's resistance, increasing intracranial pressure. And blood returning from the brain to the heart must do so without gravity's assistance, causing a back-up of blood in the brain.

Essentially, intracranial pressure increases, and overall brain circulation diminishes, when you are lying flat compared to standing up.

Of course, the body is intelligent and has mechanisms for controlling brain pressure under different gravity situations. When the brain gets pressurized from lying down, there are various pressure receptors in the head and neck designed to lower blood pressure, thereby preventing too much brain pressure and the possibility of blowing a blood vessel or creating a cerebral aneurysm. This is why blood pressure is lower when we are sleeping, and horizontal.

But these brain mechanisms for adjusting pressure have their limits. As we go through the day in a vertical position, gravity relentlessly pulls our body's fluids downwards, which is why many people have swollen feet and ankles by day's end. Once we lie down, the gravity effect is lost, as fluid leaves the legs and returns to the head. So despite our brains normal defense mechanisms, throughout the night intracranial pressure increases and is highest in the morning, after hours of lying flat, and lowest at the end of the day, after hours of being vertical.

What happens when intracranial pressure is high from long periods of lying flat? The increased arterial pressure causes extra cerebral spinal fluid to form in the brain's ventricles, increasing intracranial fluid pressure. The ventricles swell and the cells of the brain become bathed in excess fluid, essentially causing brain edema. This edema would lower the available oxygen and sugar for brain cells. The lack of gravity assisted drainage from the brain would cause a back-up of blood in the venous system and collecting sinuses in the brain. The brain's circulation would become relatively stagnant, as the only force moving blood through would be the pushing force of the arterial pressure (which is greatly reduced after going through the cerebral circulation) and the sucking force of the heart's right atrium. And in addition to the brain swelling under the pressure, the eyes, ears, face, sinuses, gums -- the entire head -- will become pressurized and the tissues congested with fluid!

There is one field of medicine that avidly studies this effect of gravity on physiology. That sub-specialty is Space Medicine. Astronauts in space are in a zero-gravity field, and it is known that this causes blood to shift to the head and brain, causing increased brain pressure and accompanying migraines, glaucoma, Meniere's disease, and other problems associated with a pressurized, congested brain. To study the negative effects of zero-gravity here on Earth, these space scientists have people lie down flat! However, since medicine is so wide a field, with sub-specialists learning more and more about less and less, there is little exchange of ideas between space medicine and Earth-bound medicine. Otherwise, someone would have realized that lying flat is what we do when we sleep. If it causes problems for astronauts, then couldn't it cause problems for everyone else?

We found out about this Space research while we performed our own research into sleep positions as a possible cause of migraines. We hypothesized that sleeping too flat for too long each night could lead to brain pressure and fluid accumulation (edema) within the brain tissue, with associated hypoxia and hypoglycemia. The brain cannot function well without proper amounts of oxygen or sugar, and this condition would be at its worst in the morning, which is when most migraines occur.

While migraines have been thought of as a pathological phenomenon, it is also possible that the migraine is the brain's defense mechanism to receive new blood along with sugar and oxygen. After all, the only way the brain can get what it needs is from the bloodstream, and during a migraine arteries to the head open up and send blood with force throughout the brain. Perhaps, we reasoned, the migraine is a type of emergency "brain flush", replacing old blood with new. If so, could we prevent migraines by having migraine sufferers sleep with their heads slightly elevated?

We tested our theory by having about 100 volunteer migraineurs sleep with the heads of their beds elevated, from 10-30 degrees. Head elevation, we theorized, would improve the brain circulation by providing some gravity assistance to drainage. Interestingly, we found that Space Medicine researchers discovered that brain circulation (and heart pumping) is optimal at a 30-degree head of bed elevation.

To our amazement, we found that the majority of the migraineurs in our study experienced relief by this simple sleep position change! Many had no new migraines, after being migraine sufferers for 30 or more years! The results were very fast, within a few days. And there were very interesting side effects, too. Our volunteers woke up more alert. Morning sinus congestion was significantly reduced for most people. Some reported that they no longer had certain allergies. Could we have discovered the real purpose and cause of migraines?

The implications of these findings were, frankly, astounding to us. So many diseases are related to increased brain pressure of "unknown" cause. Sleep position was never studied as the cause of this increased pressure. The implications go far beyond the prevention and treatment of migraines. Any condition that is related to brain pressure, and that is usually worse in the morning after a night of horizontal time, can be potentially related to this gravity and sleep position issue.

Keep in mind that the brain is the central nervous system controlling and modifying all bodily functions. If certain centers of the brain are congested and pressurized daily by sleeping too flat for long hours, those centers can malfunction. Depending on the way a person sleeps, the idiosyncrasies of their brain circulation, and other variables, different people might experience this brain pressure differently. For some, the respiratory centers of the hypothalamus might be particularly congested, resulting in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (which has been associated with head and body position while sleeping), sleep apnea, or even asthma. Sleep apnea has been shown to be treatable with changes in sleep position.

Strokes are clearly associated with brain pressure, and usually occur at night or in the early morning, while sleeping. This is when brain pressure is highest.

Glaucoma is clearly caused by this mechanism. It is already known that eye pressure increases when the head is down, and decreases when the head is up. It is essential to note the head position when taking eye pressure readings because of this sensitive relationship between intraocular pressure and head position. Eye pressure is also highest in the early morning. Elevating the head while sleeping should be routine for glaucoma treatment and prevention.

Baggy eyes and sinus congestion seem to be related to head pressure. Just as the brain gets extra pressure when lying down, the head and face are pressurized, too. People with these problems usually find immediate relief by sleeping elevated 10-30 degrees.

Alzheimer's disease, we believe, might be the end disease caused by chronic brain congestion and pressure from flat sleeping. The cerebral ventricles of the Alzheimer's brain are expanded, suggesting a history of ventricular pressure, and generalized lesions along the ventricles may indicate areas of brain tissue that have deteriorated from this chronic pressure. Other research has already shown Alzheimer's is associated with increased brain pressure, but the cause has been considered unknown, as is the case with almost all brain pressure problems.

It should be noted that the blood-brain barrier cannot function properly when pressurized. Excessive intracranial pressure can cause leaks in this barrier by expanding the basement membrane, allowing heavy metals, e.g., aluminum and mercury, as well as viruses and bacteria, to enter the brain that would have otherwise been excluded. This may be why heavy metals have been associated with certain brain problems, such as Alzheimer's.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is also known to be associated with congestion of the "impulse center" within the brain that helps control behavior. We found several children with ADHD experience profound improvement of self control by elevating their heads while sleeping.

In addition to head position relative to gravity, we also have found side or belly sleeping can create problems. For example, we found several cases of carpel tunnel syndrome related to sleeping on the hands or wrists, and shoulder pain from sleeping on the side. And keep in mind that head pressure increases, and drainage diminishes, when the head is rotated to the side. Sleeping on the back avoids compression of limbs and internal organs.

It is also interesting to note that patients with asymmetrical problems will typically be worse on the side they sleep on. For example, eye pathology will be worse in the eye on the side of the face that is slept on most. Ear infections will be worse on the "down" ear. You can also tell the side a person sleeps on by observing the shape of the nose. Apart from injuries, the nose should be symmetrical, but becomes curved away from the pillow because of sleeping on the side of the face and pressing on the nose for hours each night. The nose will point away from the side that is most slept on.

Men should be told that side sleeping may result in testicular compression and possible dysfunction. And women who sleep on their sides or stomachs subject their breasts to compression and impaired circulation. Side sleepers may have more breast trouble on the side they sleep on.

We should forewarn the practitioner, however, that, while the effect of elevating the head while sleeping will be dramatic and transformative for many patients and should be considered essential to disease prevention strategies, the fact is that many people resist changing their sleep behaviors. They have been conditioned to sleep a certain way since birth. And even when they want to change their sleep position, it's difficult to ensure compliance when the subject is unconscious! It takes tremendous will power to alter sleep behavior. But it is well worth the trouble, as people usually see within a week of sleeping elevated.

We found the best methods for head elevation include using more pillows, using a foam wedge, placing blocks under the legs of the bed frame at the head of the bed, or using an adjustable bed. While the ideal position is with the head from 10-30 degrees elevated, 10 degrees elevation is fine to start with. The legs should be slightly elevated, too, and the person should try to stay on his or her back as much as possible. The ideal position is one you would be in if leaning back in a recliner chair. (Recliners would be fine to use, too, but they usually give poor lower back support.) Also, be aware that some people will find one degree of elevation more comfortable than another. People with low blood pressure may need their heads lower than those with higher blood pressure. Others may have some neck and shoulder discomfort from the new position. However, by experimenting with pillows under the arms, underneath the buttocks (which prevents sliding down the bed), and under the feet and legs, the patient should find a comfortable solution.

Also, when taking in to effect patient history, realize that neck injuries and tight neck muscles can impair venous drainage of the brain by compression of the jugular veins by the tight muscles. Neck massage and spinal adjustments may help improve overall brain circulation. We have had a few case histories where there was little or no improvement from head elevation, but the subjects had a history of neck injuries.

Of course, there will be times when people feel lightheaded and need to lie down to get more blood to the head. It might also be better for people to sleep less at night and to make up for lost sleep with a nap, or a siesta, during the day. That would avoid extremes of high and low brain pressure. But our culture makes it necessary for most people to do all their sleeping at once. Sleeping, after all, is a cultural issue. The point is to be aware of how you feel, and realize that your body position relative to gravity may be a key factor affecting health and disease.

We are continuing to research this effect of gravity and sleep position on health, and encourage practitioners to communicate their patients' experiences with us. We also highly encourage you to read our book, Get It Up! Revealing the Simple Surprising Lifestyle that Causes Migraines, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Glaucoma, Sleep Apnea, Impotence, and More! (ISCD Press, 2001), where we discuss the profound implications of this theory, including a lengthy list of references about brain pressure and various diseases and the effect of gravity on brain circulation. After you see the evidence, you will probably be as amazed as we are that sleep research has been ignoring this critical aspect of sleep.

Sleeping too flat each day may be the greatest lifestyle mistake people are making in our culture. Some of the worst diseases of our time may be all in our bed!

Best No Snore Pillow

www.deluxecomfort.com Is there anything worse than trying to sleep when you partner is noisily snoring? You try to ignore them, willing yourself to drift into sleep, but that rumbling noise is becoming more and more distinct. As you cringe, burying your face in your pillow, he gets louder still. Finally, agitated, you shake him and demand that he stop snoring. The problem is that he can't just stop. Snoring is an involuntary bodily function. The good news is that many people have found relief through snoring pillows. To understand how snoring pillows work, you first need to understand that when a person is snoring or suffering from sleep apnea, they are actually experiencing periods of time where their breathing is suspended in excess of ten second intervals. This means when you hear your partner snort or wheeze, he is actually struggling for a breath. How do snoring pillows work? First developed by doctors as therapeutic aids, these pillows were designed to address the problems of snoring. Doctors know that snorers need their heads and necks properly cradled and elevated, so these pillows actually contain elevated foam panels for proper body positioning. These pillows are designed to gently and easily position the sleeper's head to the side. This lowers the chances of the sleeper's airway being obstructed. This reduces the chance of snoring due to easier breathing. Although snoring pillows don't work for everyone, many people have benefited from this simple bedding ...

Lower Back Pain - How to Help Yourself, and When to Go See the Doctor

!±8± Lower Back Pain - How to Help Yourself, and When to Go See the Doctor

Many of us suffer from debilitating back pain, some lasting a few days, some lasting months at a time. In fact, lower back pain is one of the most common injuries treated in hospital emergency departments and urgent care facilities, and leading cause of long term disability around the world. Whether you injure yourself bending over to pick up a light box, or simply wake up with a backache that just won't go away, it important to determine the odds of the backache resolving spontaneously, or whether you need professional help.

As a back pain sufferer myself, I have personal experience in this subject. At the same time, I am also a medical provider in a major hospital emergency department, and routinely form treatment plans and write prescription medications for my patients. The following are some general recommendations for home treatment of acute, minor back pain. Chronic back pain (severe pain lasting more than a week) should be deal with, by your physician.

One of the most common ways that patients injure their back is by simply lifting a box, turning their upper body, or some other innocent movement. If your body muscles are tight, and you over stretch them, they will simply tear. So if the event that caused your minor back pain was from a minor twist or lifting an object, and it's been less than a week since your accident, chances are you'll be ok. In most cases of muscle strain, the healing process is spontaneous and supportive care is all you need to get well. Of course this doesn't apply to significant falls, and car accidents and other forced trauma. So how can you tell if it's a "minor back pain?"

I don't define a minor back pain simply by the degree of pain or suffering a patient is going through, but by the degree of co-morbidity that the patient is suffering. In other words, if the pain is simple pain, and the patient can still walk, is not incontinent of stool or urine, does not have any weakness or numbness in their legs or numbness to the genitals, than it's probably a minor lower back pain. However, if they have any of the above symptoms, they should be immediately evaluated by a physician as those symptoms may herald an impending lifelong neurological disability. Significant pain, coupled with weakness and numbness, is considered a true medical emergency. Of course, everyone has a different level of tolerance of symptoms, so you'll have to use your own judgment. If you're not sure, go see a doctor.

Dealing with the lower back pain is easy if you understand the concepts of the initial injury. For simple lower back muscle strains, here are my usual discharge instructions to the patient:

• Clear your schedule. Rest your body so that you can heal quickly and correctly.

• If you need to stay home to recover, don't feel guilty that you can't go to work. Personally, I'm a big fan of never missing work and not calling in sick, but keep this in mind. Everyone's boss is counting on them; and the business will still be there when you get back! Your boss will not appreciate that you're in pain, he'll only be upset that you're not performing your job well. He won't hesitate to replace you if you become disabled.

• If you do decided to go to work, then rest well when you get home.

• Sleep with a sofa cushion or pillow under your knees. This tilts your pelvis, lowering your lower spine to the mattress, giving you relief and support. If you're a side sleeper, then place the pillow between your knees.

• Resist the temptation to stretch, massage, the injured part. If it tightens, simply change positions. This includes chiropractic adjustments, at least for the first 10 days. An injured muscle wants to be left alone!

• If you can take NSAIDs, such as Ibuprofen, then take the recommended dosage, every 6 hours with food.

• Finally, ice is better than heat in any acute injury.

Sleep with spinal stenosis, sciatica pain and herniated disc

!±8± Sleep with spinal stenosis, sciatica pain and herniated disc

(Sleeping on the side) sleeping on your side is the recommended position for proper spinal alignment. Coincidentally can sleep in this position lead to other problems, especially in the lower back pain and discomfort associated with sciatica, herniated disc and other irritation of the sciatic nerve.

When sleep is on your side, usually the upper leg forward during sleep, and if not through the lower leg, forward and down to roll. To achieve this goalmust be the pelvis to rotate in a rotational movement. This in turn puts stress on the spine and sacroiliac joint stress factors. The turns on the lower vertebrae and intervertebral discs. It is not surprising that this pain and discomfort in the lower lumbar (lower back) and the breast area of ​​the spine (middle back) to create. The muscle pull in his back, if stressed like this, and stretch the spine bands.

Back problems such as sciatica and sciaticaNeuropathic pain, herniated disc in particular and / or spinal stenosis may be significantly worsened. The goal is to find the correct position, while keeping in place the side sleeper. This may be using a pillow or cushion between the leg mid-thigh to the knee area for the conservation of the recommended position for the night were held to promote through. Picture of the legs in proper alignment with the spine. The spine is a horizontal plane, when the legs are stretchedsymmetrically from the body. The cushion should continue to support the right height and distance between the legs, but they are also provide legs and do not push forward, so that the "twist" unwanted stressors.

This usually causes back pain or pain that radiates through the buttocks and down her legs. This can also be an intermittent stabbing pain. Sciatic pain can extend all the way to the foot, often depending on the nerves in the correspondingSpine. Interestingly, sciatic pain affects a rule, only one side of the body at a time.

Symptoms of sciatica and sciatic nerve pain may be:

1 Pain in the buttocks or back of the leg, pain get worse after this session.

2 can produce a burning sensation in the legs

3 Can a weakness and / or numbness in the leg or foot to produce.

4 May include aconstant, constant pain on one side of the legs and buttocks

5 At times, a pain so hard to stand.

Sciatica refers to symptoms of lower back conditions, including herniated discs and stenosis. This pain is irritation of the sciatic nerve, the largest in the human body, which is connected to the upper and lower back down both legs. And 'stress on the sciatic nerve, the underlying cause isSciatica.

Enter to try this simple solution. Many lower back and leg problems are tied to short-term and can be effectively improved with the proper care and treatment, and a little 'time. As always consult a doctor for proper medical treatment of severe and long-term conditions.

Sleeping favorite position

!±8± Sleeping favorite position

Those who complain about "moving through the night", they will discover that their constant shifting can be a change to this new position from right to left. It will cease in all likelihood most of the disorders. Pulling in bed is so often futile search for a comfortable, relaxed sleep. The recommended position is different, the usual bad habits, to impose a burden on our welfare.

You must pay a high price for his upright posture. It is not easy to balance the bodyMasses - legs and thighs, chest, arms, head and one above the other. Just as in a building of the second story of the first, third on the second, so in the human structure is the same principle.

If a mass is misaligned, the entire balance is broken. The slightest deviation can do this. So great is the coordination between all parts of the body when not in equilibrium, all members suffer. A sort of architectural disorder, and we begin to appreciate the symptoms ofStress and pain or discomfort, usually in the lumbar region.

Back pain is one of the most common diseases in the United States. It spares neither man, woman or child. Although this is sometimes caused by other problems, can in nine out of ten, it will be attributed to poor weight distribution. We are suffering under the stress of standing and sitting upright, for after all these eons we were, we are still imperfect. Poor posture is the bane of modern life, the greatest thief of goodHealth.

A basic preparation to address this important issue is to sleep in the correct position. This means to lie, not with his face on the arm (through the circulation and causes numbness) but with the body sideways, balanced on the shoulder bone structure supported buried, so that your arms hang freely and relaxed at the sides.

Do not push with a pillow top, head and neck forward (creating tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders, the leading cause ofHead-driven approach), but with the head raised and in line with the spine and then the release of all neck and shoulder stress and tension.

Not lying on his back (which helps to sway-back), but resting on its side, one leg slightly crossed, which relieves and corrects a rule or lordosis. Do not sleep with your arms above your head (which slows blood flow and can cause unpleasant tingling in the hands), but with the arms hanging down to help blood circulation and reducesDemands on the heart.

The item described, can be found deep satisfaction and true peace, since all the body parts are comfortable. Pregnant women have told me that this attitude was his salvation. Martyrs to find the pain relief from their pain in it positive. Nervous dormant tightening of jaw and grind their teeth do not, while in this position.

Part of your teeth a little, 'as a child to touch the tip of the tongue slightly higherSeries, the lips are closed. With a little 'practice and perseverance, the recommended position of rest is second nature. E 'signal the body to sleep. They will fall into it naturally, without fear and dreamy drifting on a cloud.

Reinforced the next morning, after a night of relaxation and the lower spine, is the basic structure ready to help maintain, without effort or strain. Start the day with gusto.

The full facial cradle reduces pressure points on the jaw and ear.

The 12-degree shoulder cradle accommodates the acute agle between your head, neck, and shoulder while sleeping on your side. You will experience significant improvement in your spinal allignment between the neck and back. The anatomical shoulder cradle will reduce the body weight impact on the shoulders, increasing blood flow to the arms. The left and right airway system will allow you to experience improved breathing. Some users have reported a reduction in snoring. ----- How does the SleepRight Side Sleeping Pillow work? ----- The Visco-elastic memory foam conforms to your facial contours by taking an impression of your head and neck anatomy. This greatly minimizes the unwanted side effects of pressure points, which is a benefit unavailable in regular pillows. As your head settles into the full facial cradle, the memory foam will softly conform to your personal anatomy. The memory foam will automatically adjust to your body temperature and head weight as your head and neck stabilize in its resting place. When equalization between head weight and the elasticity of the memory foam is achieved, your head and neck posture will be ideally aligned with your spinal column.
