According to the latest buzz on the Internet, Gweneth Paltrow teamed up with her doctor, Frank Lipman, writing, "Everyone I know is knackered (tired), me included. But I didn't imagine that there could be health problems associated with not getting a good night’s rest. I recently read a book called Light’s Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival by T.S. Wiley, which talks about the negative cumulative effects of sleep deprivation (ageing, hormonal imbalances, etc.) I asked one of my doctors, Frank Lipman, for his opinion."

Doctor Lipman then offers suggestions on ways to sleep better, and writes, doctor writes, "In addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, getting enough restful sleep is the most important thing you can do for your health. Proper sleep is one of the keys to looking and feeling your best, yet it’s estimated that up to 70 per cent of Americans are chronically sleep deprived."

He goes on to give much advice on how, "Chronic sleep problems interfere with your body’s natural rhythms and rob it of the time it needs to restore itself. The incidence of many diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and depression increases with a lack of sleep. Recent research has even shown a connection between poor sleep and weight gain. We simply weren’t built to just go, go, go."

Dying of cancer is something we all fear. Having a heart attack, although it seems more remote, because we don't hear about it on television every day, would probably kill us where we stand. But the possibility of losing our minds and independence and not even really knowing it is truly the most dreaded potential out there ahead of us.

Over 4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Every day we're all one day closer to Alzheimer's disease. Those with AD will increase significantly if current population trends continue because the risk of AD increases with age, and the U.S. population is getting older. The number of people age 65 and older is expected to grow from 39 million in 2008 to 72 million in 2030, and the number of people with AD doubles for every 5-year interval after the age of 65.

And it's preventable, according to the gold standard of research at hand. Dementia, memory loss, and Alzheimer's are preventable with natural hormones prescribed in a cycle that mimics the rhythmic, escalating, and descending doses your body naturally produced when you were young; this is not the case with conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Here's something to think about now that winter has settled in... it is from Lights out, by T.S. Wiley, a book well worth the read fr better health and well being.

If you stay up too late, your hormones shift and cause your appetite to change. The sugars you crave send your insulin up to create the insulin resistance you need to get fat. On your way to tubby, you convert all teh carbohydrates you've eaten into cholesterol as VLDLs, and you retain water, which alters your blood pressure. At this point, any doctor would tell you there's heart disease on the horizon. We agree.

But we're going to tell you the first symptom of heart disease isn't high blood pressure and high cholesterol, it's depression.

When you live in prehybernartion mode, but never get to go dormant, you go crazy. You go crazy because you have stayed up so long. You see, in nature, staying up that long would mean you've eaten half of the planet, which is way more than your share. And you are most likely no longer fertile from swimming in all that insulin. Therefore you have no business living. so nature takes you out by altering yoru reality so you won't want to live anymore. You actually go crazy so you will take you out.

It's the "less work for the hostess" principle manifested in Mother Nature... The way nature effects this mechanism in your body is by ultimately creating a bipolar state of mind. Nature doubles the odds of your suicide with a bipolar state, inasmuch as your mania means a complete loss of impulse control.

There are major players and trendy buzzwords - serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and melatonin - to identify the loops in the machinery, but the bottom line is still the same. Sleep controls food supply and reproduction, which controls your mental state.

The hidden truth burried at the bottom of the syndrome of antidepressant use is that the "sleepless" phenomenon that creates a higher-than-normal serotonin brain levels responsible for the depression we're all experiencing simultaneously causes heart disease.

The media, doctors, and researchers will all tell you that fat people are more likely to have heart attacks because they have high cholesterol and high blood pressure - from ebing fat. And everybody knows that fat people are fat because they eat fatty foods.Fat people do have high cholesterol and high blood pressure that lead to heart attacks, but eating high-fat food has nothing to do with it. That's the lie they're hiding.

Fat people just get too tired to live.

Sleep controls your appetite for carbohydrates, the consumption of which controls water retention (to change your blood pressure) and insulin production (which facilitates cholesterol production). No sleep, no control. And seratonin builds up. When you don't sleep and you eat carbohydrates all day, week, month, year, decade, you swim in chroinically high serotonin because it never gets to turn into melatonin. That's where the depression comes in, and the actual heart disease.

Harvard Medical researchers have studied 542 male motor freight workers, average age 49 years, to determine how sleep adequacy and workplace experiences influence people's food choices. They found a lack of job strain and greater supervisor support were associated with adequate sleep; and that the subject’s educational level, age, and adequate sleep were significantly associated with at least two of the three healthful eating choices assessed.

The method used to collect this data was from a baseline survey and assessment of permanent employees at eight trucking terminals.

The researchers concluded that adequate sleep is associated with more healthful food choices.
