Novelties - A Sound Machine That Stays Alert While You’re Asleep - NYTimes.com:
“‘We trick the ear into thinking it is listening to something pleasant,’ said Mr. Nicolino, an electrical engineer, amateur musician and audio bug, who created the device when a freeway was built near his home and he realized that he could mask its roar with the sounds of ocean waves.”

Did you know that headaches can trigger insomnia?
Dr. Michael J. Breus: Headaches and Insomnia Going Hand in Hand reports:
“It’s no surprise that one of the ways to treat a headache is to lie down and take a nap (assuming, of course, you have the luxury of napping in the middle of your day). But napping can also conflict with your nighttime sleep if it’s not planned carefully. It also appears to incite a vicious cycle: 59 percent of those in the study with tension-type headaches complained of sleep problems as a trigger of those headaches.”
What’s the solution? SleepTracks may be able to help.

Insomnia Relief: Balance Your Body and Mind
February 1st, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed
Are you looking for insomnia relief? When you lie awake night after night, it affects every area of your life. It’s also dangerous, because sleep deprivation can have long term health consequences.
Let’s look at how you can conquer insomnia for good, by balancing and harmonizing your body and mind.
1. Take a Yoga Class: Stretch Insomnia Away
Exercise is great if you have insomnia, because it eliminates stress hormones, like adrenaline, from your body. Yoga is great exercise for sleep disorders, because it works on only on your body, but also on your mind. If your insomnia is caused by anxiety, yoga will relieve this easily.
Take a beginner’s yoga class at your local yoga studio, and tell the instructor that you’re having problems with insomnia. You’ll be given some easy yoga stretches you can do in the evening, which will prepare your body for restful sleep.
2. Get an Aromatherapy Massage to Unknot Your Muscles
The essential oils which are used in aromatherapy have been used as natural medicines for thousands of years. Oils made from herbs like lavender, chamomile and geranium will rebalance your body’s processes, as well as soothing your mind.
Don’t be surprised if you fall asleep on the massage table. The aromatherapist will give you a sleep blend to take home to use each evening.
3. Meditate for Ten Minutes Twice a Day
You can feel rather silly when you’re meditating. You’re sitting, doing and thinking of nothing. However, meditation is very powerful. You’ll be able to calm down your internal chatter, which has a wonderful effect on your body: you’ll relax.
If possible, get instruction from a meditation teacher. However, instruction from a CD or book is almost as good.
Tip: you may feel that “nothing’s happening” as you meditate. However, as long as you’re trying to follow the instructions for your meditation, you can be sure that it is indeed working. You’ll discover that after a couple of sessions of meditation, you’re relaxed enough to sleep.
Although insomnia can seem like a minor hassle, it can be dangerous to your health. Try these simple processes for insomnia relief: they work.
