The best source for magnesium oil and gel I've found is at www.health-and-wisdom.com - best quality and best price! What a difference transdermal magnesium supplementation makes - now I sleep like a log!

To Karen P...

Sounds like you have a serious health and/or sleep disorder problem. What should be done depends on a lot of factors which I believe in your case should be undertaken by a practioner who does a complete exam and history. Beware the standard medical route since they will load you up with meds or technology which will just cover up the problem.

You cannot beat Dr. Mercola's program and it will save you $ in the long run. I have found going to the expert who can go right to the source of the problem will save you money, time, and suffering.

When I look at the listing.....and then consider sex in place of each of the items.....I think that sex should be number one..... Plus, it's certainly more fun than the items in the listing.....and, a lot more fun than ironing sheets..... Although, now that I think of it, "let's iron the sheets" could be a great code for sex before sleep time.....!!!!

Why don't you use a timer for your light, so that it turns itself off when you're asleep.

Sorry Dr. Mercola....some of us actually DO work for a living. Iron sheets? Please!! Personally I only need 6 hours of sleep, so I don't see what all the fuss is about. I believe every body is different. I wake up on my own after 6 hours sleep. I have more energy than my husband, who needs 8 hours plus and is always tired!

Lavender Oil May Spur Breasts in Boys

3 Cases of Gynecomastia Reported in Boys Using Products With Lavender or Tea Tree Oils

By Miranda Hitti

WebMD Medical NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDJan. 31, 2007 -- Repeated use of products containing lavender oil or tea tree oil may spur breast growth in prepubertal boys, experts report in The New England Journal of Medicine.

The effects fade when boys stop using the products, note the researchers.

"This report raises an issue of concern, since lavender and tea tree oil are sold over the counter in their 'pure' form and are present in an increasing number of commercial products, including shampoos, hair gels, soaps, and body lotions," write researchers Derek Henley, PhD, and others......

You say that before electricity people slept 10 on average. Then further on you state thar people who sleep more than 7.5 hours are more likely to get all sorts of illnesses. Why is it that all the people did not die of illness before electricity was invented.

Certain amino acids can also improve your sleep. I have been really pleased with my quality of sleep and I wake up remembering my dreams every morning. That means that I am hitting that REM sleep where most of the healing is done.

I know I can't be the only one. I can't sleep without the TV on. I mute it but I need the flickering of the screen to stay asleep. I sleep through the night unless one of my animals wake me up to go out. Once in a while I try to sleep without it but I always end up turning it on in the middle of the night.

I was a workaholic for 20+ years crusing on 3-4 hours/night. When I finally got off that fast moving train, I still couldn't sleep. I asked a lot of questions, read a lot and changed my whole thing around sleeping. Now I sleep at least 7 hours/night, but I really love 8 or 9. Who could imagine that? Here's what's worked for me.

Got rid of the light: I have two sets of curtains--one that fits inside the sliding glass door and one that hangs outside. I even close my door because there's a skylight in the bathroom and light filters in through the door. My bedroom is pitch black at night but in the morning, there's enough light at the top of the curtains to wake me. I don't use an alarm clock, but if i did it would be draped at night. I even used to sleep with a sleep mask.

Drink more water: if I drink at least 2 quarts of water throughout the day, I don't get up in the middle of the night (unless I drink that water couple hours before bed). Reading is better than computer or TV last couple hours.

Keep a small tablet and pen by the bed: if i wake up with that important thing to remember, I write it down--without the light. Turning on lights after I'm asleep puts a wrinkle in going back to sleep.

Use the supplements: Sometimes my mind simply won't let go. Then I take GABA, a non-essential amino acid found mainly in the brain. It stops the mind chatter. I also take melatonin to keep me asleep. (That it's an anti-aging thing is fun for me, too.) Because I live in a dry climate, I use a humidifier, and 4-6 drops of Lavender goes in the reservoir--not only to kill bacteria, etc., but also as a sleep reminder.

Like the other gal, I like to snuggle. Both my cats sleep on the bed--as long as they're not licking. They've been trained that the bedroom is for sleeping.

Breathing helps: yoga offers a variety of calming breaths ("Complete breath," Ujjayi, etc.) but simply taking deep breaths can do it, too.

I've written this before but here it is again. For women who are premenopausal or menopausal, the best remedy for insomnia is natural, bio-identical progesterone cream. It's the only way to have that deep, uninterrupted sleep again.

This looks like a good place to express my question/complaint?! Why does Dr. Mercola tell us to make our bedroom dark, and then sell us that clock (that's supposed to wake us like the dawm) with a clock face so bright it lights up my whole bedroom????? Even turning it around doesn't help; still lights up the room. So, I cover it with a towel......

I have become a sleep professional since I could not sleep. A couple things worked great for me. I got black out blinds (mostly for my husband because he worked nights) and found the dark room helped more than I imagined. I listen to a CD of ocean sounds at night and I dab a bit of Sage Oil on my head. Sage oil (not Clary Sage) is used in aromatherapy to get rid of unwanted thoughts. I could be dog tired, but as soon as I went horizontal in bed, my mind would start racing and I could not sleep. The Sage Oil shut that stuff up!
