Sleep Apnea – A Sleeping Epidemic

New Express CPAP Supply Brings Wholesale Priced CPAPs To Southern California

San Jacinto, CA (PRWEB) September 8, 2007

Express CPAP Supply, home to wholesale priced CPAP machines for sleep apnea, is about to debut a brand new storefront, in San Jacinto, just west of Palm Springs in the heart of Southern California. The new store will open in Fall of 2007, and will serve customers all over Southern California. From San Diego to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles to the Colorado River, this store will be centrally located for easy shopping. With prices of about 1/3 from the other competition in the area, Express CPAP Supply is confident that many customers will make the short drive to save hundreds of dollars on sleep apnea equipment.

Express CPAP Supply first started out as a home based business on eBay. But in October 2004, eBay pulled the plug on CPAP equipment suppliers, no longer allowing the sale of prescription items on their auction Web site. Many companies failed at this time. The owner of Express CPAP Supply, Rod Petersen, took this challenge and decided to create an Internet Web site to sell these products, and http://www.YouNeedSleep.com was born. In 2006, the Web site business became so successful that he expanded his operations to include a distribution center in Tracy, Minnesota. The distribution center located in a small town infused with Mid-Western ideals and values was perfect for Express CPAP Supply to continue to grow its service-oriented business. The distribution center has really speeded up product delivery times providing another value added service for CPAP Express Supply customers.

Rod Petersen is driven not only by the success of the business; he also has sleep apnea, and uses a CPAP machine every night. Having used this equipment for over seven years, Rod has come to learn all about his sleep apnea, and which equipment works best. “Helping people is truly rewarding,” Rod says. “Helping other people with sleep apnea find better health, helping people save a ton of money, and helping people get fast professional service is what makes it all worth while.”

Customers who place orders with Express CPAP Supply get a good feeling when talking with the staff. They get warehouse pricing, at a small town shop experience. Sleep apnea patients find it comforting to speak with actual CPAP users and Respiratory Therapists. When customers call, their questions get answered by professionals who know CPAP therapy.

Express CPAP Supply is dedicated to helping patients with sleep apnea. From the on-line superstore, located at http://www.YouNeedSleep.com serving customers 7 days per week, to its Minnesota distribution center, to the new store front location opening soon in Southern California, Express CPAP Supply is helping customers save money, sleep better and wake up refreshed.

http://www.mystic-sleep.com/index.htm?aff=y/84 Sleep is the natural state of bodily rest. When you sleep, your body rests and restores its energy levels. Consistently good sleep helps you cope with stress, solve problems and recover from illness, and helps ensure long-term physical and mental well-being.

* Infants require about 16 hours a day
*Teenagers need about 9 hours on average
* Most adults need 7 to 8 hours a night for the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day
*Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual

Recommendations
You can optimize your health and quality of sleep by:

1) Reversing Damage – Years of stressful living caused damage to your body and mind. To help reverse this, Mystic Sleep releases hundreds of phytonutrients that act at the molecular level to normalize hormone levels, support brain function, alleviate mental duress, remove toxins, restore your immune system, and reinstate healthy sleep cycle.

2) Set a Schedule – Go to bed at a set time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Disrupting this schedule may lead to insomnia. Avoid napping during the day. “Sleeping in” on weekends also makes it harder to wake up early on Monday morning because it re-sets your sleep cycles for a later awakening.

3) Exercise – Try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day. Daily exercise often helps people sleep, although a workout soon before bedtime may interfere with sleep. For maximum benefit, try to get your exercise about 5 to 6 hours before going to bed.

4) Avoid Caffeine, Nicotine, and Alcohol – Avoid drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and keeps you awake. Sources of caffeine include coffee (100-200 mg), soft drinks (50-75 mg), non-herbal teas (50-75 mg), chocolate, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Smokers tend to sleep very lightly and often wake up in the early morning due to nicotine withdrawal. Alcohol robs people of deep sleep and REM sleep and keeps them in the lighter stages of sleep.

5) Avoid Using Sedatives – While you might fall asleep, the complete restorative sleep cycle will be not realized. You might awaken feeling unrefreshed, groggy, or hungover. Once you stop taking the sedatives, you might suffer withdrawal symptoms which will further interfere with attainment of natural sleep.

6) Drink Milk – Milk contains a substance called tryptophan. The body uses tryptophan to make serotonin, a chemical in the brain. Serotonin helps control sleep patterns, appetite, pain, and other functions. Milk does not contain enough tryptophan to change sleep patterns, but drinking a glass of milk before bed may help you relax.

7) Avoid Large Meals / Excessive Fluids – This might cause you to awaken due digestion problems or urination.

8) Relax before Bed – A warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine (deep breathing, yoga, meditation) can make it easier to fall sleep. You can train yourself to associate certain restful activities with sleep and make them part of your bedtime ritual.

9) Don’t Lie in Bed Awake – If you can’t get to sleep, don’t just lie in bed. Do something else, like reading, watching television, or listening to music, until you feel tired. The anxiety of being unable to fall asleep can actually contribute to insomnia. Don’t expose yourself to content that is prone to increase anxiety – like the news.

10) Create a Sanctuary – Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet. Use eye shades or earplugs if needed. Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Extreme temperatures may disrupt sleep or prevent you from falling asleep.

11) Minimize Snoring – Sleep on your side to minimize snoring and breathing problems.

12) Sleep until Sunlight – If possible, wake up with the sun, or use very bright lights in the morning. Sunlight helps the body’s internal biological clock reset itself each day. Sleep experts recommend exposure to an hour of morning sunlight for people having problems falling asleep.

Mystic Sleep stops the cycle of sleep problems. It increases production of melatonin which keeps your circadian rhythm in tune, thwarts the production of cortisol (the “stress hormone” which at elevated levels prevents sleep), regulates cyclical nocturnal surges of growth hormones which interfere with your sleep cycle, stimulates production of neurotransmitters to alleviate irritation and depression caused by insufficient rest, releases antioxidants to combat free radical damage and inhibit deterioration of brain function, supports liver and metabolic processes to remove toxins from your body, aids in production of Leptin which reduces your craving for excessive calories (Leptin is depleted by lack of sleep thus increasing chances of obesity), introduces bio-enhancers to increase availability of nutritional substances to help restore your body’s immune system, and counteracts tension and high blood pressure.
