Get Enough
Sleep to avoid Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious health problem.
There are 20 million diabetics, 14 million diagnosed with early onset
diabetes and unfortunately, 6 million who are unaware they have diabetes.
• At their 2001 Annual Meeting,
The American Diabetes Association reported that the people who regularly
lose sleep can actually become less sensitive to
insulin. This increases your risk to get diabetes as well as high
blood pressure. The study suggests that healthy young people who got less
than 6.5 hours of sleep, on a regular basis, had greater insulin resistance
than those people who were getting 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. Insulin
resistance is the condition which usually leads to Type 2 diabetes.

The
National Sleep Foundation revealed an alarming fact in 2004; there is a
connection between sleep deprivation and adult diabetes. Lack of sleep
increases the stress hormone, cortisol,
within your body. This increase in cortisol inhibits your body’s ability to
metabolize glucose. This overworks the pancreas and causes symptoms of early
adult diabetes.
Are you asleep at the
wheel?
Sleep deprivation is a major cause of
traffic accidents. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study
showed that 37% of drivers surveyed admitted to falling asleep at the wheel.
The same survey revealed 35% of drivers who nodded off while driving within
the past six months say it happened between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Right in
the middle of broad daylight! This is amazing, especially considering that
most statistics underreport the extent of crashes associated with
drowsy driving!!!
When I was a teenager, my friend John fell asleep while he was driving and
ran off the road. He missed a telephone pole by a few feet and slammed into
some forgiving trees. He walked away from the accident (and I walked away
with a valuable lesson), but others
are not as lucky:
• Every 12 minutes someone is
killed by a motor vehicle crash
• Every 14 seconds there is a disabling
injury from a car crash
• Auto accidents are a leading
cause of death for people ages 1 to 33
• An estimated 7.5 million drivers have
nodded off while driving within the past month
•
An estimated 1.35 million drivers have
been involved in a drowsy driving related crash in the past five years
"This driver was not as lucky
as my friend John"
A Common
Thread in history of Tragic Events
Many
of the worst disasters in our History have been linked to worker fatigue and
sleep deprivation.
• March 28, 1979: Three Mile Island
The accident happened around 4a.m when night workers tend to be the
drowsiest. It was the most serious in U.S. nuclear power plant history and
was caused by a serious lack in judgment. The number 2 reactor was destroyed
by a meltdown from a cooling malfunction. While radiation leaked,
fortunately there were no deaths or injuries to the plant workers and the
nearby community.
• December 3, 1984: Bhopal India Gas Leak
Another example of inattentive workers in the early morning hours. It is the
largest chemical industrial accident ever. A storage tank overheated and a
plume of deadly MIC gases were released. The plume rose into the air quickly
and spread into the neighborhood. Half a million people were exposed to the
gas and 20,000 have died to date as a result of their exposure. More than
120,000 people still suffer from ailments caused by the accident and the
subsequent pollution at the plant site.
• January 28, 1986: Space Shuttle Challenger
Like many tragic events in our lives we often never forget where we were
when it happened. I will never forget where I was on this day watching the
tragedy unfold in the cafeteria at Bucks County Community College. The
managers who authorized the launch were running on little sleep from the
night before. The mission, which had problems from the start, had kept the
crews working around the clock to remedy the problems. 73 seconds after
launch, Challenger exploded killing all on board. The Presidential
Commission cited worker fatigue as playing a significant role in the cause
of the disaster.
• April 25, 1986: Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster
A shutdown and test of Chernobyl reactor #4 was scheduled to take place at
1:00 a.m. Several safety features had been turned off. The reactor
overheated causing a meltdown of the core. Two explosions followed which
blew the top off of the reactor building. The people of Chernobyl were
exposed to radioactivity approximately 100 times that of the Hiroshima bomb.
10 years later babies were still being born with defects and one of the
causes cited in the disaster: human error caused by fatigued workers.
• March 24, 1989: Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
On this date the Valdez ran aground off the coast of Alaska, spilling over
230,000 barrels of oil. The cleanup to the area cost well over 2 billion
dollars. While initial reports said the captain was drunk, further
investigation showed that the captain had turned over command to his first
mate. His first mate who had only slept 6 hours in his last 48. Which is why
one of the causes cited in the investigation of the accident was failure to
properly maneuver the ship due to worker fatigue and excessive workload.
Do you like what is
looking back at you?
Let’s get personal for a minute. How
is lack of sleep damaging your life? You don’t mean to holler at your kids
or snap at your co-workers. Your family doesn’t understand the pressures you
face everyday and your patience runs thin when you’re not getting a good
night sleep. Believe me, we’ve all been there one time or another. I always
tell my children that in life there will be people who like you and people
who don’t like you…it is a fact. But let’s face it, we don’t want to go
through life being disliked or thought of as the asshole at work. You don’t
want to leave that type of legacy.
And you certainly don’t want to cut your life short with diabetes, obesity,
hypertension, cancer, or other stress-related problems. Much less have an
accident from being drowsy. What kind of legacy is that?
Many of the men in my family died in their early 50’s. This was a hard pill
to swallow when I was 10. And now I realize that their high-stress,
sleep-deprived lifestyles had a lot to do with it. I don’t want to leave my
family early, leaving them a legacy of “if only Dad was around to see this.”
Do You?
It’s time you realize the dangers of sleep deprivation. The clock is
ticking…just make sure some of your hours that are ticking are spent in much
needed sleep.

were Born to Sleep
Sleep like a baby with “3 Secrets to
Sound Sleep”
Can you remember a time in
your life that they were able to fall asleep as easily as falling off a
log. Maybe you’ve had such a difficult time getting sleep that it is hard
for you to remember.
Don’t lose hope. Learning to sleep again is just like riding a bike.
Sleep is a definite period of rest of the nervous and psychic activities.
Sleeping is a natural and NECESSARY a part of the life. Just as important
as being awake. Getting a good night sleep allows your body to recharge
itself: physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is nature’s way of
healing yourself.
No one should have trouble, because it is engrained in us; it is part of our
being. Then why is it so hard to do something that should be so easy? When
it comes right down to it, in the simplest of forms, you’ve just forgotten
HOW to sleep.
How do I know this? Because I have been there just like you.
Introducing “3 Secrets to Sound Sleep"
My name is Steve Grzymkowski, and I am the
author of: “3 SECRETS TO SOUND SLEEP”.
I can tell you I have discovered something that can literally save your
life. This course teaches you how to start getting the sleep your body
NEEDS so you wake up refreshed, ready to handle the challenges of the day,
and take your life to a new level!
When I was younger I could fall asleep with such ease. Put my head down on
the pillow and it was “lights out” in no time. Then, like you, my life got
complicated. Responsibilities at work increased - and so did the stress
levels. I began to have a few “off hours” of sleep each night, and like
you, thought nothing of it. Throw a few kids into the mix and the few hours
quickly escalated to a few nights of lousy sleep a week.
I began to notice a decrease in my productivity and a general feeling of
fatigue throughout the day. I was too tired to exercise and found myself
eating at all hours of the day and night. And pretty soon I soon weighed
the most I have been my entire life, and I hated it.
My doctor asked me to do a baseline physical, since I was getting to that
“age” and I was embarrassed to do one as I was in the worst shape of my
life. My suits did not fit and they had been taken out as far as they could
go.
I needed a change and not one that required new clothes, no I needed to
change what I was doing and get back to the way I used to sleep.
How I discovered the “3 Secrets”
I thought back to those days when I could
fall asleep so easily. It seemed so long ago and it felt like I was looking
back at someone different. But I tried to remember if there was anything I
had done in the past that I could re-learn, some skills that were repeatable
and consistent, that I could use to retain my mind and body to sleep soundly
again.
I thought and thought and tried to remember and re-create the elements of my
earlier sleeping habits. Before I knew it I had come up with 3 simple steps
I had been doing years ago, but didn’t even realize it at the time.
Could this be the answer? I couldn’t wait to find out. I immediately
started doing the 3 simple steps for 30 days to see if this would change my
sleeping habits.
30 days later…Bingo!…I was back in the saddle…sleeping like a baby. Even
with four kids! I had re-discovered the secret to sound sleep.
The only thing that I changed was the 3 simple steps and they gave me the
best nights of sleep I’d had in years. I found myself waking up refreshed
and ready to take on the day, with much more energy and patience. I began
to exercise in the morning and soon found myself fitting into pants I had
not worn in years. I stepped on the scale one day and found myself down 20
pounds. I was amazed!
So I have collected my thoughts, recorded my findings, and put it all
together to share these secrets with you…in my new course called:
“3 Secrets to Sound Sleep”
Secret #1
Suggestive Conditioning
Early on in my career I remember traveling
a good bit to training classes, and we always had roomates. It always
struck me that the chatter at lunch was about sleep. This person couldn’t
sleep because her room was too close to the highway. This guy could not
sleep because the room was too hot. It seemed like I was the only one who
was getting a good night sleep. And no matter who I roomed with the
conversation always went something like this:
|
Roomate:
|
“Steve, Did I keep you up lastnight?” |
| |
|
|
Me:
|
“Uh no…why?” |
| |
|
|
Roomate: |
“I just don’t do well in hotels” or “I am restless when I am not in my
own bed” or “my snoring keeps me awake” |
| |
|
|
Me:
|
“Really…I didn’t hear a
thing…slept like a baby” |
| |
|
|
Roomate: |
“God I wish I could sleep like that” |
| |
|
And there it was staring me right in the face the entire time: Suggestive
Conditioning.
Secret #2
The Breath Restoration Technique
It’s no secret that throughout human
history, people have sought the ability to restore breath into the bodies of
those without. And it’s no secret that a good part of the population
doesn’t know how to breathe properly.
If anyone knows about the power of your breath, it is me. I have been an
asthmatic all my life. Many ask me what an asthma attack feels like.
Sprint a 100 or 200 meter dash. At the end of the sprint pull out a straw
and try to breathe through it. That is what an asthma attack feels like.
There are many who teach about proper breathing. The Breath Restoration
Technique is an essential part of the 3 Secrets to Sound Sleep and I am the
only one who teaches it.
The Breath Restoration Technique:
•
Forces you to breathe the natural and right way
•
Teaches you Complete Breathing that fills your lungs to their utmost capacity
• Teaches the amount of normal breaths
taken in one minute
•
Gives you Lungs of Steel when done correctly and consistently
• Teaches how to fill your body with
strength, vigor, and good health
Secret #3
The Chalkboard Principle
Do you remember the end of the day in grade
school? So much excitement, nervous energy, and wonder. It always happened
around 3:00 for me. We couldn’t wait to clean off the chalkboard. Wiping it
clean with a wet towel and making it look brand new was the hightlight of
our day. The highlight for many was we knew it was the end of the day. But
there was something calming about that clean chalkboard…just minutes before
it was jumbled with all the things you learned from the day, different color
chalk, different sizes in the lettering on the board and very busy. There
was something mesmerizing about watching it being wiped clean and staring at
the water drying on the board. A brand new blank slate to be filled the
next day. Who would’ve guessed that the 3rd secret would come from a job in
3rd grade.
