      @StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.

      Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm

      Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.

      There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)

      The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.

      For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.

        This actually seems pretty cool: https://www.amazon.com/S-ResMed-Personal-Sleep-Solution/dp/B00NP52QE0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478635&sr=8-1&keywords=S%2B+by+ResMed

        "It uses sonar, and those ultrasonic pulses can see straight through blanket (and PJ's) to monitor the movement of your chest as your breathe your way through the different stages of sleep."

          Not the first thing I'd be using it for....

          Still, cool tech.

            Or not use an alarm and just wake up when ready.

              More fall to sleep than go to bed. Go to bed and lay there awake and then the alarm is at the wrong cycle.

                My fiance wakes up at 3:00 AM whether she wants to or not. She's in such great shape (constant exercise and eating right) that she has an overabundance of energy and can't help it. I'm jealous but not enough to stop eating doughnuts 😄

Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.

                      Right, you have to train yourself to be asleep within 5-10 minutes.

                        I don't set an alarm (unless I really have to be up at a certain time) but usually wake up between 6:00-7:30 every morning naturally.

                              Have you ever informed her that she is bombarded with gamma rays from the sun all of the time and there is nothing that she can do about it?

                              Also, bananas have a naturally produced ion of potassium in them. Every time you eat a banana, you are getting a dose of radiation.

                              On top of that, supposedly, Mountain Dew is also radioactive, sort of like a glow stick, or a minion.

                                I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.

                                  @StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.

                                  Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm

                                  Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.

                                  There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)

                                  The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.

                                  For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.

                                  I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.
                                  For most this means going to bed earlier an earlier until you wake up naturally at the desired time.

                                  I find this true for myself. If I go to be around 10 PM, I will naturally wake about 5:50 am, give or take 10 mins.

                                    My wife is so jealous of my ability to do this. I'm more like 1-2 mins and out.

                                      This actually seems pretty cool: https://www.amazon.com/S-ResMed-Personal-Sleep-Solution/dp/B00NP52QE0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478635&sr=8-1&keywords=S%2B+by+ResMed

                                      "It uses sonar, and those ultrasonic pulses can see straight through blanket (and PJ's) to monitor the movement of your chest as your breathe your way through the different stages of sleep."

                                      Note that a San Diego, California based company, ResMed purchased Zeo's intellectual property. Sadly, ResMed produces another of the cannot possibly (and doesn't) work bedside sleep monitors, the S+. It bathes the sleeper in microwave radiation and uses the Doppler-shift in reflected microwaves to detect upper body motion and respiration. Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.

                                      So...who wants to be cooked while they sleep?

                                      I could use a base tan 😄

                                      Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway

                                      I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.

                                      That's interesting - haven't heard that one before. what is the proper amount?

                                        @StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.

                                        Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm

                                        Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.

                                        There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)

                                        The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.

                                        For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.

                                        I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.
                                        For most this means going to bed earlier an earlier until you wake up naturally at the desired time.

                                        I find this true for myself. If I go to be around 10 PM, I will naturally wake about 5:50 am, give or take 10 mins.

                                        That's how I am. Only use alarms when catching a flight or something.

                                            I don't think that is true.

                                            I just know the cycle you wake up in is very important.
