How Do You Survive All Those Sleepless Nights?

Surviving all those sleepless nights that come with having a new born baby in the house:

So here I am once again in my local watering hole having a quick beer on my way home. You see I have to pass this bar "La Peña de Taurina" (A Spanish version of your local labour club) to get to my house because it's at the end of my lane and that's the problem, I don't pass it. I stop and go in. Anyway here I am minding my own business and listening once again to how lucky I am having twins...

"It's so much easier having two children at the same time because you get through all the stages once, you don't have to start all over again when the second child comes along. We'd just got Jenny out of nappies when Peter arrived and we had to start all over again!"

Now these types of loose statements always seem to ooze from the mouths of people who don't have twins and have little or no experience in bringing up twins.

So what's it really like having twins?

Firstly let me state that I think all babies under 6 months old are just two legged waste producing machines anyway. Let's face it all they do is eat, sleep and produce organic waste. I don't know of any other man made invention on this planet so efficient in turning white liquid called milk, into a luminous green/yellow nuclear substance that you can smell from as far away as the next village!

Anyway lets look at some subtle differences in having one baby at a time or having twins. Firstly taking a normal new born baby's sleep pattern of around three hours, if we get little Jenny to sleep at say 9pm, we can get to sleep ourselves around 10pm or 11pm at the latest. A quick hours nap and we're up around twelve midnight for the first feed, we get back to bed around 1am giving us till 4am to sleep before the next feed. If both parents share the responsibility, take turns and each get up once you can squeeze almost six hours sleep in a night. Not bad at all.

Now lets take the same night but with twins. A friend at work had Identical twin boys who were completely in sinc with each other. They woke at the same time and went back to sleep at the same time so in that case it would be very similar to the example above, but our girls are Fraternal twins and are completely out of sinc with each other so our normal night would go something like...

Rebeca sleeps at 9pm, Laura sleeps at 10pm, we sleep at 11pm, Rebeca wakes at midnight and goes back to sleep at 1am just in time for Laura to wake up again at 2pm. We get back to sleep at 3am and Rebeca wakes up again at 4am, we get back to sleep for 5am and Laura wakes up at 6am... Now tell me its easier having twins. The only solution we came up with was that between 10pm and 8am each parent one would take sole responsibility for one child. I look after Rebeca through the nights and Marie looks after Laura.

This has worked for us although I can't remember whats its like to share the bed with my wife anymore as I'm normally getting out when she's getting in, but some 16 months on, we normally only get up once and Laura quite often sleeps right through. What keeps you sane is the knowledge that it does get better but I can't help wondering, when I finally get my first full nights sleep again, am I going to miss those special moments at three O'clock in the morning and the closeness that comes with rocking a baby back to sleep?

Sleepless Nights Will Affect You, Your Health and Your Wealth

Research has shown that most adults do not get enough sleep. On average you should get no less than 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night. The concern about not getting enough sleep is that the next day you may pay for it with a headache, irritiability, fatigue, memory loss, reduced attention span, and poor comprehension and attention span. In addition over time sleep deprivation can lead to potentially serious medical conditions.

Medical experts have stated that suffuicent sleep ranks up there with a healthy height/weight ratio and physical activity, as noted in an article in the Annals of Internal Medicine, in terms of its effects on a individual's health. Some sleep researches suggest that daytime sleepiness should be considered as important a vital sign as high blood pressure or rapid heart beats.

Our over worked, overscheduled society bears much of the blame. Lack of sleep will affect your productivty at work and in life. A significant number of sleep deprived individuals have health conditions that prevent them from getting the proper sleep they need. As per the National Institutes of Health, and estimated 10% to 15% of the U.S population has chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia is defined as the inability to get to sleep or stay asleep or early awakening. Another 5% of the popualtion suffers from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea means that the individual stops breathing for brief periods during sleep. Another 5% of individuals are wakened by restless leg syndrome. However, for the average individual the cause of sleeplessness is usually due to stress.

Stress can lead to certain illnesses if it is not recognized and decreased. As you can see lack of sleep can have serious consequences for You, Your Health and Your Wealth. Each year fatigue contributes to 100,000 highway accidents which unfortunately includes 1,500 deaths. One research study stated that getting only a few hours of sleep resulted in driving impairment which equals several alcoholic drinks. Your reaction time is also 50 % slower then those who get the required amount of sleep.

Lack of sleep can raise blood pressure, cause weight gain,increase your heart rate, lead to hormonal imbalances, heart disease, the development of type 2 diabetes, a depressed immune system, mood disturbances and psychiatric disorders. In addition up to 40% of individuals with chronic insomnia suffer from clinical depression.

Sufficient sleep is necessary for a healthier you. You , Your Health and Your Wealth are dependent on it. Invest in Yourself everyday.

Simple Solutions For Sleepless Nights

Habitual sleepless nights are a clear signal that something in your life needs to change. The question is, what? With so many possible causes, beating insomnia can sometimes seem confusing. Fortunately, it only seems that way. Let's simplify things. There are three basic ways to combat sleeplessness: medical aids, natural solutions or psychological relief. No matter how many different treatments you may find, they can usually be classified into one of these three categories.

When should you look for medical aid? Obviously, if you think your sleepless nights are connected to a medical condition, you should see your doctor. Keep in mind that many health professionals have been trained to prescribe sleeping pills. This type of treatment is not always appropriate. Prescription sleep aids may not accomplish your sleep goals, even for the short term. Using sleeping pills for a long period of time could end up worsening your condition.

Natural solutions for insomnia are very safe. They are also more effective than you might think. Unless there is a specific medical condition (like back pain, for example) keeping you awake, natural treatments are preferred for relieving insomnia. Natural solutions include herbal remedies, changes in daily habits and schedules, aromatherapy and acupuncture.

Mental factors like anxiety, stress and depression are among the top causes of insomnia. Getting psychological help is an excellent way to reduce your number of sleepless nights. Psychological help for sleeplessness is much more than telling stories of childhood from a therapist's couch. Other treatments that fall into this category include relaxation techniques, meditation exercises and hypnosis.

The real challenge of sleepless nights is finding out the cause. Insomnia is a symptom, not a disease. So knowing that you have insomnia is just the first step. Your next task is discovering the cause. Once you understand the cause, treatment is usually pretty simple. Just remember that success means more than just sleeping at night. Your goal should include feeling better during the day as well.

There is no good reason to delay seeking help for sleepless, restless nights. The stakes are too high. The consequences of sleep deprivation are too dangerous. Determine the cause, which will lead you toward certain types of treatments. Then start trying out different treatments to figure out which one works best for you.

New York City- The Sleepless Neon (a Poem With Notes)

The bulky skyline danced around me

The first time I drove through its winding maze--.

Flimsy I felt in this Roman candle like city,

With grand towers, and bridges, uncountable

Side streets--cars hissing!

It is one big sleepless neon city--;

What a rush, it gives.

Here you don't run out of people

You just run yourself down

Trying to keep in step

With the curious!...

Note: Long over due is this poem on New York City--for I've been there four times, equal to Paris, and I've never been to any city four times other than these, and I've been to almost every big city in the world, so, yes, New York City is special. To be frank, and honest, I feel much safer in New York City than such cities as Buenos Aires, or Santiago, Chile, Lisbon, or Madrid, or for that matter, Chicago, or Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I live in Lima, and St. Paul, Minnesota, and I feel saver still in New York City. Anyhow, as I was saying, the poem is over due. It was written while in traveling in Cajamarca, Peru, a beautiful city of 165,000-folks, in a very green valley (9:01 PM, 5-06-2007). #1808

The number one thing I love in the city is always seeing the Empire State Building, the most impressive building in the world. And I like Central Park, and the big museum next door. I like getting pizza or a sand wish brought up to my hotel room, and watching CNN at night. And I like walking down along the banks, and seeing the Statue of Liberty, actually my wife who has been around the world with me, feels that is the most precious landmark in the world, her being a Peruvian.

Totally New Moms - Sleepless and Lovin' It

For weeks, you've gone to the bathroom three times every night, slept faithfully on your side instead of your back, and snacked in the wee hours of the morning. Making a baby is hard work, even when you're trying to sleep. And once your prince or princess is born, the string of sleepless nights is just beginning.

A forty-something friend has been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby for many years. Last week, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. When she talks about that one-week old miracle, she glows. Even though she's sleep deprived and exhausted from nursing, she is radiant. So what's the secret to being a totally new mom who is full of joy?

1. Relish the moment. When you're looking at your tiny baby, whether it's after a diaper change or as you're feeding him or her, consider the words to this song "Miracle of the Moment" by five-time Grammy winner Steven Curtis Chapman:

"So breathe it in, breathe it out. Listen to your heartbeat. There's a wonder in the here and now. It's right there in front of you. And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment."

2. Put your baby's early days in perspective. Remember what it took to get you to this place and let your heart fill with gratitude for being a mother. When things get tough, think of how quickly these days will pass. Before you know it, you'll be taking your child to soccer practice or violin lessons in a minivan.

3. Eat right and exercise. Being healthy isn't just good for your waistline; it's a great way to lift your spirits. It's proven that enjoying a variety of good nutritious food will help manage depression and elevate your mood. Try eating super foods like salmon, spinach, peas, chickpeas, chicken and turkey. Do light stretches and walking after baby is born as long as you're comfortable doing so.

4. Simplify your life. Having a newborn is a full-time job. This isn't the time to take on a new project. Your house doesn't have to be perfectly clean. Emails don't have to be answered on the same day they're received. Focus on being a new mom. Don't be afraid to say no to others.

5. Put something for yourself on the calendar. Being a new mom is a job unlike any other. There are no coffee breaks, evenings off, or pretty suits to wear. You are a 24-hour caregiver. To make the most of your new role, plan things that will renew your mind, body and spirit. Don't just have good intentions about taking care of yourself. You have to put it in the calendar or it won't happen. Schedule things like: Monday night, 30 minutes of reading all by myself while my husband watches the baby. Have events to look forward to so you don't drown in the monotony of diapers and feedings.

The first weeks and months with your baby are some of the most special days of your life. Smile often, take lots of pictures, and remember to enjoy the miracle of the moment.

Sleepless Nights

If you experience frequent sleepless nights, please read on as I will be giving tips and advice on how to beat insomnia.

Most of us have experienced a sleepless night at least once in our lifetimes. There are many factors that can contribute to a sleepless night; worry, stress and anxiety are common problems. Financial issues, relationships and work can all create unwanted emotions and thoughts that can affect our daily lives as well as sleep.

Stress, anxiety and worry can be caused by minor factors, but yet these can have detrimental effects on our emotional behavior; being stuck in traffic, having a bad day at work, going to an interview, taking a test and something as little as burning toast can build up unwanted stress during the day.

A sleepless night is nothing to get alarmed about. It's often difficult to let go of thoughts at night. Often when we are able to tackle the cause of worry or anxiety we are able to rest at night. It's important that we do tackle the cause of the problem quickly as prolonged experience of sleeplessness may become a learned habit and develop into insomnia.

For the insomniac a sleepless night is an all too familiar occurrence. Insomnia sufferers usually complain about having disturbed, insufficient and non-restorative sleep, and generally:

have difficulty falling asleep
have difficulty staying asleep
have difficulty going back to sleep after waking up at night
feel drowsy or tired on awakening in the morning
feel excessively tired or sleepy during the day

Many people find it difficult to let go of worrying or troubling thoughts at night. If you try not to think of a pink elephant, you'll probably think of one. If you try to get an annoying pop song out of your head, you'll probably fail. And if you have to try and fall asleep, you're probably already suffering from insomnia. Fact is sleep isn't supposed to be forced; it's a natural process which just happens.

Often an insomnia sufferer will try to relax, but slip into the mode of thinking random thoughts involuntarily, only to get frustrated and find that they are even more awake. On other nights they may feel that their mind empties however they struggle to relax physically enough to fall asleep. They may feel tense and irritable.

It's important to realize that the day reflects the night and that the sleep process does not begin as soon as you rest your head on your pillow. It's important to wind down in the evenings and relax during the day. Factors such as your mood, emotions, diet, the amount of sunlight and exercise you get play an important role in how well you are able to sleep at night.

If you suffer from sleepless nights and have trouble relaxing enough to sleep at night, begin by paying attention to your sleep habits and your stress and emotional levels in the day.

Famous "Sleepless in Seattle" Houseboat For Sale

Who can forget how handsome and sad Tom Hanks looked as bereaved widower Sam Baldwin when he moved with his young son to a sleek houseboat on Seattle's charming Lake Union in the 1993 blockbuster chick flick, "Sleepless in Seattle". Remember him standing on the deck of the houseboat, elbows on the railing, gazing at the stars as the city lights danced on the water? Bitter-sweet perfection.

Recently, the real owners of the famous floating residence have put it on the market. How much would you pay to own a legendary houseboat? The asking price is a cool $2.5 million. You may need some time to think about it!

Houseboats and Hollywood

Houseboats have been the settings for several of Hollywood's most memorable films. In "Sleepless in Seattle", the houseboat provided the perfect setting for Sam Baldwin to grieve the loss of his wife, contemplate life and start over. Even though Sam Baldwin and romantic co-star Annie Reed, played by Meg Ryan, weren't together until the final two minutes of the movie, the audience always knew that they were going to live happily ever after on that magnificent houseboat.

Fifteen years after the movie debuted, the houseboat continues to be a top Seattle tourist attraction.

A Countess and a Houseboat

Another famous movie that featured a houseboat was actually called "Houseboat". The 1958 film stars romantic lead Cary Grant as Tom Winters, divorced father of three, and the beautiful ingénue Sophia Loren as Cinzia Zacardi. Even though the plot was a bit preposterous, Grant and Loren made it a warm, romantic comedy.

Cinzi, who is really a countess, escapes her overly protective lifestyle and gets a job taking care of Winters' three children. When their home is destroyed, they are all forced to live on a dilapidated houseboat on the Potomac River. Funny and endearing, Winters soon fall in love with his beautiful, mysterious housekeeper and the movie builds to a happy Hollywood ending. Funny and endearing, "Houseboat" became a big box-office hit and was nominated for two Academy awards.

From Romance to Sheer Terror

Long before "Sleepless in Seattle", there was the legendary 1962 thriller, "Cape Fear", which starred Robert Mitchum as the criminal Max Cady and Gregory Peck as Sam Bowden, the prosecuting attorney who got him convicted.

Released from prison, Cady is hell-bent on revenge against Bowden and his family. In a deadly cat-and-mouse game, Cady stalks and threatens Bowden's family until they leave town and flee to the safety of their river houseboat. They don't know that Cady has hitch-hiked a ride underneath their car.

"Cape Fear" builds to a heart-pounding climax when Cady sneaks aboard the houseboat and attacks the whole family in a scene so scary that the Bravo channel ranked it #36 in their list of the top 100 scariest scenes in American film history.

Even though the plots of these three movies have nothing in common, they do share the fact that a houseboat created the right setting to create the mood the director wanted. Houseboats, as Hollywood has proven, make extraordinary settings for life's dramas and transitions on and off the silver screen.

Sleepless Nights with your Baby

Mothers are lacking sleep - New research by Mother & Baby magazine reveals some shocking statistics. Their survey shows that for the first four months of a newborn's life, mothers are surviving on an average of three-and-a-half hours' sleep a night. Half of those surveyed said that sleeplessness had caused rows with their partners, 13% had nearly broken up because of it and 3% had actually split up. Hardly surprising is the 83% of respondents who said that sheer exhaustion put them off sex.

Which is all rather grim reading, particularly when we look at the amount of sleep our own mothers used to clock up - on average a very healthy six hours.

So why such a massive shift? The report points to an increasing reliance on gadgetry such as baby monitors, breathing sensors, video monitors, mattresses fitted with alarms and suggests that these actually put more pressure on parents because they're less likely to relax. Editor of Mother & Baby, Elena Dalrymple, said: "Just as a watched kettle never boils, so a watched baby never sleeps".

Wake the father! But one of the most disappointing statistics unearthed by the survey is that only 23% of dads wake up when the baby cries. Which means a whopping 76% of dads enjoy blissful slumber while the mother does the hard graft (getting up an average of four times a night the report states).

We all know how difficult it can be to function after a disturbed night's sleep so the cumulative effect of night after night of sleeplessness can be profound. It's hardly surprising that new mums vent their frustration on their partner. And when you consider that many new mums are back in full-time work by the time their baby is six months old, the pressure can be immense.

So what's the solution? Elena says it's essential for "...parents to work as a team so they can get through this difficult time more harmoniously'. Quite. But also for new mums to know that it's OK to admit they're absolutely knackered and to grab any opportunity that comes their way to claw back some of those sleep-starved hours.
