The French National Sleep Institute reports that the average person looses one and a half hours sleep daily and accumulates a sleep deficit of 5 years by the time they reach the age of 40 due to disruptions in our natural life rhythms which translates into sleep disorders like apnea, restles legs syndrome and restless  sleep patterns.

Who is to blame for this change in our biological clock  and what can we do to Restore Our Sleep patterns to the Key of Life?

Whether it is due to the somber economic outlook or not, the Blogosphere is abuzz about this topic, with stories ranging from universities seeking Military Veterans Who Have Problems Sleeping to study efficacy of remedies Mobiles Phone being Blamed for bedtime woes and Greek Insomniacs advised to wake up and seek medical help.

The British with their characteristic sense of humour simply Blame Electronics for the Insomnia pandemic and say that we can now happily diagnose a new disease for which some fine commercial entity might create a magical pill. Promoters of the Drive Alert, Arrive Safe campaign say that Insomnia, one of the most common sleep complaints has been linked to road accidents and that Better Sleep Could Cut Serious Road Accidents .

Live Well has commissioned a report which is alarmed by the fact that tiredness has become socially acceptable , which has spurned it to launch a new campaign aiming to raise awareness about the issue.

As if we need reminders, others state that Sleepless nights may be sign of serious problem, whether that is due to debt stress or weight gain .  Others write about  coffee’s well-documented side effects: anxiety, insomnia etc.  This sleep blues has even prompted one iPhone geek to develop an application to address the woes of Sleepless Babies.

The bad news is that our modern self-indulgent lifestyles represent the biggest risk to our health and wellness. We have lost sight of the very reason why nature provided for cycles, seasons and rhythms  as well as the fact that there is nothing accidental about the creation of  seasons or the daylight and night time cycle in the 24 hour day.

The initiated tell us that our The Biological Clock responds to environmental cues which tend to be at times longer and at other times shorter than the 24 hour cycle, hence the name Circadian Rhythms.The recent UC Irvine Breakthrough Discovery Revealed how circadian rhythms regulate energy on  cellular level.

These scientific reports illustrate the absolute importance of paying attention and aligning ourselves to biological cycles, natural seasons and  life rhythms to enhance our holistic wellbeing. As Jack Dejohnette, Jazz legend explained at the Jazz Expo at the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, “life is music and music is life - the two join together“. That’s maybe also what musician Stevie Wonder had in mind with his experimental “Songs in the Key of Life” Album. The heart beats in the key of life, so is our rhythmic breathing and as the mentioned UC Irvine research shows, these  rhythms are hardwired in our DNA on a cellular level and regulate our energy levels.

The good news is that we are in control. Rather - we can be in control if we want to do. We can rekindle the circuitry by adopting resourceful lifestylestyle practices like yoga breathing meditations, which align and bring our breathing and sleeping patterns in tune with natural life cycles, seasons and biological rhythms. Seasons, cycles and rhythms  are nature’s way of ensuring that every creative or expansive effort is interrupted and punctuated by a corresponding pause for recuperation,  for rest and rejuvenation in order to guarantee the sustained dynanism of the biological system.

Our modern and often unhealthy lifestyle choices impact upon and disturb these natural cycles and biological rhythms primed to take ques from our environment. The ques from our artificial lifestyle environments are confusing and contradictory to the biological clock.  We rationalize these erratic lifestyle practices  in terms of economic necessity, peer pressure to do things like staying late and consume substances because they are hip and cool.

Companies no longer set-up jobs where people live thus subjecting workers to long commutes to and back from work and extending the hours devoted work.  Over-saturated multi-channel entertainment options on new aggressive communications media encroach even further on our privacy and subject our biological systems to a non-stop barage of stimulation leaving no downtime for rest

Persistent productivity and performance (success) oriented pressures within families as well as work place breeds insecurity because of fears for not making the grade which is perceived like a death sentence  in a culture which recognizes and idolizes only winners.

The net effect of the disruption of our natural sleeping rhythms is that we accumulate not only a sleep deficit but also a health deficit as the quality of our health is preconditioned on the quality of our sleep. Statistics of the French National Sleep Institute show that Fourty percent of adults surveyed in France (predominantly women and those in the 45-55 age range) complain about an inability to fall asleep or sleep through at night. Take This Quiz to know how well you are doing on the sleep barometer.  The charts can tell whether you suffer from sleep apnea, insomnia or  any of the multiple sleep disorders.

Why should we be concerned about sleep deficiency?

We should be concerned because volumes of scientific evidence establish a direct causal relationship between poor sleeping patterns and poor health especially with regard to pathologies like obesity, diabetes, cardio vascular risks, allergies, stress, ADHD, depression, aging, longevity etc

There are many exhaustive Blogposts and articles offering Tips for Better Sleep to rejuvenate and restore a normal rejuvenating sleep rhythm – the following are therefore just a summary of lifestyle adjustments you could do to serve your own enlightened health and wellness cause:

1. Schedule and maintain regular sleeping hours to get a minimum of 8 hours un-interrupted sleep – This advice holds true for kids as well as adults.
2. Eat well for breakfast and lunch but enjoy light dinners at least 2 hours before bedtime to allow the digestive system to rest and consume less energy during sleep,
3. Generally avoid any type of stimulant food or beverages after 3PM – These include your favourite Seattle company Café Latté, Alcohol, Vitamins or exotic beverages containing herbal stimulants;
4. Avoid practicing any type of sporting activity after 8PM,
5. If you have a life partner – go to bed at the same time or join your partner at the least before they fall asleep – research shows that a resisted or disturbed sleep cycle takes at least 90 minutes before it sets in or is restored,
6. Obey your body and go immediately to bed when you feel tired - As said before research shows that resisting will delay falling asleep by another 90 minutes. You don’t want to fall asleep on the job during a Press Conference in front of the world’s press like the now famous ex Finance Minister.
   
7. Maintain an optimized sleeping environment – A bed, mattress, pillows neutralizing magnetic radiation - confortable linnen - No TV in the bedroom – Temperature of approximately 18°C – Ensure sufficient obscurity in the bedroom. The biological system does many important life sustaining functions whilst we sleep like  the production of melatonin the feel good hormone. If your home was not designed by a Lifestyle Wellness Architect consult a Feng shui wellness professional regarding the flow of chi energy in your bedroom.You will be surprised by the difference a few re-arrangements could make to your sleep and life fortunes.
   
8. Make up for lost sleep and restore vitality and peak performance by taking a daily power nap or siesta in the best Mediterranean tradition. Attention it ain’t no siesta if it exceeds 20minutes. The good and welcome trend is that companies in some countries now provide for a comfortable “lifestyle chill-out corner” with plants, hammock, chill-out music etc to replace the traditional “smoking corner” or reimburse staff for lunchtime “power nap” expenses at new lifestyle wellness businesses like Nick Ronco, the sleep revolutionary’s New York Yelo Power Nap Boutique, an idea which will certainly be copied at airports and cities across the world to sooth the sleeping woes of millions of global sleep deficient business and leisure travellers.
9. Check out homeopathic solutions provided by your local Life Wellness Coach ,  mentor or practioner like Lavender for Mood Control and Insomnia , herb teas which invoke sensually entrained relaxation indicated for the various type of sleep disorders like snoring, apnea, nightmares, anxiety, restless sleep, restless leg syndome etc.
10. Try out as well the numerous sleep and relaxation therapies offered by local natural remedies providers and practitioners such as Chiropractors or acupuncture nearest to your place of residence or work, like lumino (light) therapy administered with the help of Luminettes [Lumi(er) + (lu)nette] or light colour spectra reflected off the walls of your room, office or treatment cubicle to create a luminous ambiance. There also other natural solutions  like  phytotherapy, aromatherapy, physiotherapy etc.

Yes its time to wake up and Tune Our Sleep Patterns to the Rhythms in the Key of Life in the interest of our 360wellness.

The current topic dominating the headlines of the news pertains to the financial downward spiral the world is reacting to. Governments around the globe are responding to this potential recession by injecting billions of dollars into major industries such as banks and auto companies to keep them afloat and keep the economic engines running. Having come from a background of healthcare, I am familiar with the concept of reacting to potential crises rather than proactively preparing and avoiding the situation. However, it is becoming clearer that the response of our governments to our economic situation can be compared to our healthcare system.

Despite what Michael Moore has led us to believe, the Canadian healthcare system that we view as enormously superior to the American healthcare disaster is not perfect. It is based on a reactionary premise. According the World Health Organization rankings of healthcare systems countries like Andorra (4^th), Malta (5^th), Singapore (6^th), and the United Kingdom (18^th) place ahead of Canada’s admired healthcare system, ranked 30^th overall. Perhaps most concerning to Canadians, the United States ranked 37^th. Not so far behind for a system that we look upon with such distain. So despite ranking in the top ten in expenditure per capita the WHO shows disconnect where overall health of our system and the approach we take to patient care earn us a 30^th place ribbon. Perhaps the reasons for this disconnect lies partially in the nature of our system. In healthcare classrooms across the country it is taught that healthcare is set up to combat and cure disease and ailments; a reactive system. For example, a diabetes program or a cancer clinic will always take priority in the minds of Canadians as well as funding models over a healthy living course or a non-smoking program, and let me state, to a certain extent, it should. But let’s evaluate the system for what it is, and consider the outcome if we could create a system in which we could prevent some of these diseases from developing or exacerbating symptoms? Aside from the obvious health benefits to the patients, the financial ramifications would be enormous. Let’s consider diabetes type II which has shown poor diet and a lack of exercise can contribute to the disease or worsening of symptoms often leading to hospital visits and admissions for such things as peripheral vascular disease and obesity. Of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Ontario’s 40 billion dollar budget, 10 percent is spent on combating the disease. In a time where funding is being cut not increased, if we could save a small percentage of that budget by implementing healthy living and wellness programs throughout communities in the province, tens of millions of dollars could be redirected to other areas of need. Looking at the National Health Service (NHS), the UK’s version of OHIP (remember, ranking 12 spots HIGHER than Canada), healthcare practitioners are encouraged to make these changes with financial incentives such as funding physician visits per preventative treatment.

Now I realize the proactive approach is the less glamorous of the two options. At the end of the day, there is no answer, there is no cure, and there is no television show re-enacting the action packed education session. I also realize it certainly isn’t as simple as placing a few clinics around town and pocketing the millions tomorrow. The proactive approach to providing health care requires long term projects involving major restructuring and are typically unpopular with politicians because they rarely have the opportunity to see the effects of the change during their political term; making the proactive style a hard sell. We are at a point in time where we should start thinking bigger then ourselves and start designing our system in order to prevent some of these diseases ahead of time rather then reacting to them when it’s too late for both the system and the patient. Can we not try to learn something from the situation major industries such as banking and the auto sector find themselves in? Or will we continue to react after the crises has occurred instead of investing in our healthcare system before we find ourselves looking up on the WHO ranking and from our wallets at our unfortunate Americans who pay out of pocket for their healthcare.

In this weeks Focus on Canada Wellness iN Tune (WiN) People,  we feature Cecil McIntosh, B.B.M, C.Ht., Master Relaxation Mentor and author of 21 Stress Stopper Formulas and multiple audio products teaching How To Convert Fear and Anger into Peace and Power. Cecil lives and practices in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He was born in Barbados and concedes that his teachings are the result of the lessons he summoned from the devastating experience he lived through 16 years ago.

As he explains himself: “I was a stressed out entrepreneur. I was bankrupt, had a broken marriage and I was crippled by undiagnosed back pain. Three years later I was pain-free and had the money and the marriage I always dreamed of.”

Cecil attributes the misery that he went through and that most of us go through everyday to our “desire to acquire the ALMIGHTY dollar at any cost”. He says this was contrary to the teachings of his grand parents and parents who emphasized that whilst earning money was important, living a balanced lifestyle was even more important.

Cecil pledged to pass on the lessons learned from this turning point in his life and thus an extremely successful mentoring practice was born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada which has allowed him over the years to earn the respect of his peers and of his clients. Cecil is sought by celebrities, entrepreneurs and top performance athletes to transform the crippling demons from within, which hold us back into powerful allies cheering us to new success.

As Cecil says, “I now understand, (happiness) is an inside job which begins with the ability to RELAX. I found my passion by going inside. I have learnt to have the FAITH to intuitively listen and act (TRUST) immediately on any messages I receive. This is how I arrived at the TRUTH. Now you know how I was able to heal my crippling back pain and develop the Empty your cup® Process. Today, I run the world’s leading institute on turning stress into success with a goal to transform one million lives.”

Cecil says that the world would be a different and much better place if each person became consciously aware of their capacity to relax and to help others relax using the EYC™ Process which he developed and fine tuned over a 14 year period with glowing testimonials from satisfied users from around the world. EYC does not stand for the Episcopal Youth Community which passes for the same acronymn - It is the abbreviation for Empty Your Cup, the metaphor Cecil uses for Getting Rid of Your Stress.

The EYCTM Process is a simple, logical, easy- to-apply system based on THREE steps which are simple ceremonies of the mind for transforming stress into success.

The first step in the EYCTM Process is for creating daily balance.

The second step helps in managing daily stress challenges.

The third step is for harnessing your inner power.

Jeff Mills and Rob Toth anticipated late last year that unlike for the automotive, banking, housing and the energy industry nobody would stand up for the average small business owner and local wellness coach who will not see any bail-out packages by a long shot. They concluded that small business owners and local coaches will only be able pull themselves through the tough economic conditions, if they mastermind with business and marketing leaders willing to share proven “Recession-Proof” Marketing Strategies”.

If you live in Vancouver, Seattle area or plan a business trip there during the March 26-29, 2009 period contact Jeff and Rob, the co-host of the Event to register and listen to the great line-up of marketing who’s who speakers including:

3. Josh Anderson – the New Media Expert from Boise – Idaho – USA

4. Alex Mandossian, Online Marketing Expert from San Francisco – California – USA

5. Randy Charach – Domain Arbitrage Expert from Vancouver – BC – Canada

15. Ken McArthur – Information Marketing Coach from Philadelphia- PA – USA

This great line-up is completed by Outsourcing Coach and Top Marketing Consultant Jeff Mills, who started out surfing waves in Huntington Beach, California and later moved to Canada to study at a bible college in Edmonton, Alberta. He subsequently worked as a full-time Youth Pastor in Minnesota for nine years, before getting bitten by the Internet bug in 1999 and decided to follow his passion and start his own Internet business. Since then, Jeff has successfully marketed hundreds of products and services in almost every niche market imaginable on the Web.

Today Jeff is widely considered one of the utmost authorities on personal branding and outsourcing in the United States. He is also the Host of the “Midwest Super Conference” - one of the top annual marketing training events for entrepreneurs and small business owners in the United States for the past six years.

Jeff’s co-host, Rob Toth, the smart, Canadian Internet Marketing Strategist aka as the “Genie”, runs his company right from the heart of downtown Vancouver, BC.

After just a few short years in the industry, Rob is widely considered to be one of the most in-demand Internet marketing strategists around. An expert in designing online sales funnels, Rob specializes in showing local and international business owners precisely how to generate leads and profits from their “web properties.”

Rob has marketed a host of products through the Internet including physical books, specialized fitness equipment, seminars, a wide range of information products, wellness programs and more.

The first annual Canada Marketing Summit is being held on Rob’s “home turf” and he’s right in the mix making sure this event builds into the most valuable 4-day annual “direct response” marketing seminar in Canadian history.
