Wenatex Blog :: Healthy Sleep for a Better Life

Some days ago I had the opportunity to spend some minutes with an eminence in Ophthalmology in Brisbane, Dr. John Harrison.
During our conversation he mentioned how obstructive sleep apnea  may affect our eyes in different ways.

Doing some reading, I found some comments from Dr Waller an Ophthalmologist of the Mayo Clinic in the US who mentioned the following: “… our understanding of the mechanisms that link these disorders is minimal,”. “However, the recognition of these associations is important for primary care physicians, ophthalmologists, and sleep physicians. For patients with OSA, a routine eye examination to evaluate for early signs of glaucoma, particularly in the setting of visual loss or change, should be recommended. Patients with opthalmologic diseases known to be associated with sleep apnea should be screened clinically for sleep apnea and referred to a sleep center if signs or symptoms are present.”

Here we have it… it seems that we are always coming back to the concept that sleep is our “Master Healer.”

Are you sleeping enough and in the right way? A visit to a Wenatex Sleep Seminar may give you some great tips of how to let yourself nurture by your “Master Healer”.

After sharing John Medina’s video with you and seeing your response, it is obvious to me that you like watching videos. In the future, I will do my very best to upload as many relevant videos as possible.

I often get questions in relation to bed bugs - here is an excellent two minute video explanation. Let me know what you think.

By visiting a Wenatex Sleep Seminar you will learn how to achieve  a healthier sleep.

Be wise and have fun!

Kitty B Yancey from USA Today reported that the “pillow menu” is the “latest thing” offered by some hotels in the United States. These hotels are promoting healthy sleep with a view to reducing snoring in their guests.

The general manager of Kimpton[1] Hotels’ 70 Park Avenue Hotel in New York had the idea to create a pillow menu after he found an anti-snore pillow in a store.

Now others are expanding on the idea, for example, the Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts[2] in North America offer a “Sleep Advantage” program, developed by sleep experts. Guests get a free kit with earplugs and eye mask, calming lavender mist, a CD that lulls them to dreamland — even a clip to hold drapes closed, shutting out light. They also offer “quiet zone” floors.

… and the trend is starting to catch on in Australia with some of the larger hotel chains jumping on the bandwagon and offering healthy sleep options.

I would be interested to hear about your experiences with any hotel chains in Australia offering this service. Did it add to your experience? Did you get a better night’s sleep?

You don’t have to go to an expensive hotel chain to experience a good night’s sleep, you can achieve a healthy sleep environment at home. To learn more, I strongly recommend you to attend to one of Wenatex’s free healthy sleep seminars.
