Introduction
Perhaps nothing is more important to good health and more overlooked than sleep. According to sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, sleep problems are the number one health complaint in doctors’ offices in the United States! An estimated 70 million Americans sleep poorly on a regular basis.
The myth of existing on only a few hours of sleep has been refuted by clinical science. Sleep study centers have established that interrupted sleep and poor sleep are the root causes for hundreds of clinical diagnosis include mental health and depression.
You’ve got better things to do than live on the brink of exhaustion because you can’t sleep. If you dig deep enough into sleep research like I have, you learn one thing you’ll never forget: don’t under estimate the value of quality sleep.
Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, Type II Diabetes, accelerated aging, PMS, peri-menopause and menopause symptoms, irritability, looking old, lack of motivation, poor productivity, increased automobile and other accidents.
Women are twice as likely as men are to have a sleep problem!
The good news is that you can solve your sleep problem and in the process dramatically improve the quality of your life. In this special report on sleep, I’ll teach you the breakthrough discoveries that guarantee you’ll fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling great.
There is one thing you have to understand before we go any further. Very few people are getting their sleep problem solved. They may get some relief but I don’t think you’re reading this because you want “less of a sleep problem.”
This report is about how to sleep perfect tonight and every night. Conventional wisdom on sleep problems has only taken us so far. The underlying cause of your sleep problem is being overlooked and you will soon discover that current “treatments” are not solutions. Naturopathy has taken a misguided approach as well by failing to address hormonal triggers for poor sleep. Natural “Band-Aids” are none-the-less “Band-Aids”
Doctors and sleep experts, for the most part, are happy to treat and “manage” your sleep problem. This is an option if you’re satisfied with putting bandages on symptoms. There is a better, safer, healthier way and you don’t need over-the-counter and prescription drugs to do it.
BILL TIP #1 Over the counter sleep aids are nothing more than Benadryl at twice to ten times the cost!
The more innovative sleep doctors will talk to you about your sleep hygiene. It’s defined as the “controlling of all behavioral and environmental factors that precede sleep or may interfere with sleep.” “Hygiene includes things like diet, exercise, developing a consistent sleep pattern, staying away from bright lights at night, changing your mattress or pillow, monitoring the temperature of your room and many other factors.
All of this can certainly be very helpful, especially when combined into a program. You can really make excellent progress, but you will soon see that even the best of measures only gives you “less of a sleep problem” while the underlying cause goes unchecked.
This special report is designed to give you much needed perspective on what’s causing your sleep problems and how to solve them quickly and permanently.
So here’s What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About How To Sleep Perfect Tonight…and exactly what you need to do to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling great.
- The first thing your doctor isn’t telling you is your sleep problem is a cortisol problem!
I have performed women’s health seminars nationwide about how lifestyle problems lead to over-stimulating your stress hormones. Cortisol is the main stress hormone that’s intimately involved in the circadian rhythms of waking up and falling asleep. Under normal, healthy circumstances, cortisol rises in the morning to wake you up and drops at night so you can fall asleep.
You’ve heard the story of the mother who sees her child get pinned underneath a car and somehow finds the strength to lift the car off the child. That’s the work of stress hormones. Cortisol, along with adrenalin, gives your body that energy and super human strength.
BILL TIP #2 Stop working for the CIA! C=Cortisol, I=Insulin, A=Adrenalin
So let me ask you a question? What do you think your chances of falling asleep and staying asleep are if a hormone like cortisol is running loose in your system?
Cortisol is fantastic at waking you up in the morning and giving you sustained energy throughout the day. But in order for you to fall asleep, cortisol levels must be at their lowest just before sleep! Sleep problems are rampant in America because lifestyle problems have caused what’s known as an upside down cortisol rhythm.
This leads to what is called physiological and psychological arousal. Your body and mind desperately need deep, rejuvenating sleep, but the stimulating effect of cortisol keeps a part of your brain and nervous system on high alert.
It’s like being in a car and pushing down on the gas and the brake at the same time.
Poor diet, too much sugar and what I call “hurry and worry sickness” drive your cortisol levels up later in the day. It stays elevated in the evening when it’s supposed to be dropping.
You’re trying to get to sleep while the “super human strength” hormone is pulsing through your veins! Can you understand why sleeping pills have to be so dangerously strong and cause so many side effects?
Natural sleep aids with their “mild sedative effects” have only a remote possibility of working even if they did contain the active ingredients they are supposed to?
Here’s the valuable lesson I want you to come away with: You will never SOLVE your sleep problem unless you correct your upside down cortisol rhythm.
Whether you have a chronic sleep problem or just troubled sleep once in a while, your number one priority must be balancing your cortisol levels and reestablishing the proper rhythm. The big question is…how do you do that? Let’s find out!
- The second thing your doctors not telling you is sleeping pills make sleep problems worse!
When you have a chronic sleep problem it can be a pretty desperate situation. But relying on over the counter medication or prescription sleeping pills has short term and long term consequences you really need to consider.
According to Dr. Daniel Kripke, a Harvard trained medical doctor and a leading authority on sleeping pills, getting a prescription may be a real hazard. He states that sleeping pills can increase the risk of diseases including cancer and can lead to depression and shorten people’s lives.
Although sleep drugs usually “put you under,” don’t mistake that for getting a good night’s sleep. Sleeping pills may put you in an unconscious state, but can actually speed up your brainwaves. That prevents the deep levels of sleep you need to recover and wake up feeling rested.
Increased brainwaves combined with the powerful sedative effect of sleep drugs are the reason for waking up with the well-known “sleeping pill hangover.” Sleeping pills knock you out but you wake up feeling less than fresh and energized.
Sleeping pills also have a bad reputation for causing dependency. The longer you take them, the less effective they become. So you have to take more for the same effect and before long you’re caught in a vicious cycle of dependency.
BILL TIP #3 Sleeping pills DO affect natural biorhythms and brain chemistry. Ambien is actually “amnesic” in that you will remember little to nothing after taking it! Motor skills are severely impaired and metropolitan police have coined the phrase DWA or driving while on Ambien! The individual will forget something prior to bed, drive to the convenience store and end up backing into a gas pump as if they were stone drunk!
When you try to stop you get this nasty condition called “rebound insomnia.” If you think you had a sleep problem before you took the drugs wait until you have to battle rebound insomnia!
- The third thing your doctor isn’t telling you is natural sleep aids are notoriously ineffective
Most conventional doctors don’t study or understand natural sleep aids so they assume they can’t be as effective as the sleep drugs they are used to prescribing. We both know what happens when you assume.
We’ve all heard the recommendation to drink some chamomile tea before bed or try an herbal remedy like Valerian or Passion Flower. Although the idea is a good one, these plant remedies merely have what is known as a mild sedative effect. In other words, they gently make you sleepy.
Sleeping pill drugs have a very powerful sedative effect that puts you under…not dissimilar from anesthesia. But remember what our main problem is, an upside down cortisol rhythm. Think about what natural sleep aids or sleeping pills are attempting to do: trying to make you fall asleep…either by a natural and safe method of gently making you sleepy or by a drug effect with lots of risks that are knocking you out cold.
Both “treatment options” completely miss the underlying cause of your sleep problem.
It’s not about falling asleep; it’s about what is keeping you awake!
The reason natural sleep aids rarely if ever work is because their “mild sedative effect” will never counteract the powerful stimulating effects of cortisol.
So the truth is you need a safe and natural solution that helps balance your upside down cortisol rhythm. Any natural sleep aid that can lower your levels of cortisol at night is the only one that can SOLVE your sleep problem.
The Really Good News
A European company was researching medicinal plants for their effects on stress and in the process actually discovered what turned out to be the Holy Grail for sleep problems.
Not only did study participants experience significantly reduced effects of stress, they started sleeping better than ever before!
This company is one of the few research institutions in the world developing what are known as high quality full spectrum standardized extracts and studying their effects.
A full spectrum standardized extract is a giant leap forward in the world of natural medicines. Every medicinal plant has a “profile” of active ingredients. When all these active ingredients are given to a person in the right ratios and the correct dose the effects are far superior to giving just one active ingredient or a fraction of the correct dose.
BILL TIP #4 Watch out for “natural” products that simply take every natural product intended for the health problem and throw them into one blend. The label is impressive and the product comparison check list appears to be a winner. Many natural ingredients are NOT synergistic and “a whole lot of too little” NEVER works in natural medicine.
10 ingredients that individually are not in effective doses is simply a waste of money.
A full spectrum standardized extract contains the entire “profile” of active ingredients (full spectrum) in a consistent, optimal dose (standardized).
If fact, it’s astounding how much is required to create a high quality, therapeutic plant extract that contains the medicinal value you need. And even more surprising is how misleading and ineffective natural sleep aids, and almost all plant-based remedies can be.
Did you know the exact same species of medicinal plant grown in two different places can have enormous differences in the amounts of active ingredients? And other factors like the type of soil, weather patterns, the time of year you harvest, the altitude, ultra violet radiation from the sun and all the “survival stress” the plant has to endure…all of it determines the actual amount of “natural medicine” or active ingredients the plant contains. Prior to the development of full spectrum standardized extracts it was virtually impossible to get a consistent, reliable and effective product. So here’s the dirty little secret the supplement industry does not want you to know.
Not only do natural remedies for sleep rarely work because they miss the underlying cause of the problem, they rarely work because they don’t have the active ingredients necessary to get any kind of result in the first place.
With that said, we developed a natural sleep aid called SomniSure (it’s “Bill Approved”) with the help of the same European company that did the research on full spectrum standardized extracts. This type of high-level collaboration allowed us to create the most therapeutic and advanced product in the world.
SomniSure contains the one full spectrum standardized extract that showed the remarkable clinical results in reducing both the effects of stress and in falling and staying asleep. This remarkable extract is one of the few things on earth that can help restore and balance your upside cortisol rhythm.
SomniSure’s formula also contains full spectrum standardized extracts of Valerian root and Passion Flower because these two extracts are very effective provided you first fix the cortisol problem. SomniSure is the only product on earth that combines the therapeutic power of three full spectrum standardized extracts aimed at solving the underlying cause of your sleep problem.
Imagine what it will feel like to lay down to go to sleep and not have the “super human strength” hormone cortisol buzzing through your veins! You’ll fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. We all know sleep and quality of life run hand in hand and now you have a breakthrough solution that’s clinically proven to work.
Your symptoms tell a very important story. They determine whether you need the specific actions of our product SomniSure… or do you need to rehabilitate your hormonal system with additional Core Formulas.
Please review these symptoms carefully and choose the program that is right for you.
Choose SomniSure if you fit the following symptom profile:
– You have trouble falling asleep
– You fall asleep but can’t stay asleep
– You wake up too early in the morning
– Your mind will not stop processing thoughts
– Your body feels exhausted but part of your mind is wide awake
