Deprivation of short-term sleep usually causes little physical harm, since body automatically compensates itself for the lack of sleep by increasing its adrenaline levels during the day. One may experience temporary feelings of pessimism or negativity. However, speaking from some activities, like driving a car or operating machinery, deprivation of short-term sleep can even be dangerous. Sleep deprivation is thought to cause half of all traffic fatalities on highways. In fact, studies have shown that being forced to stay awake for 17 to 19 hours can impair abilities, which is the same as drinking 0.05 percent blood alcohol content.

Irregular sleep patterns and lack of sleep can lead to attention span shortage, memory & vocabulary loss, and the like symptoms. Complication includes obesity, premature aging, fatigue & increased risk for diabetes, infection, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, etc. Chronic sleep deprivation can even lead to paranoia or hallucinations.

The use of magnet as medical method could be traced back to 2th century B.C. in ancientry China. The record of curing diseases by holding magnet could be found in 450 A.D. in Greece. Magnetic medical appliance emerged one after the other after 16th century A.D.. It was very popular to treat high blood pressure & neurasthenic by using magnetic equipment.

Carrying various electriferous anion, molecule and inorganics such as kalium, calcium, natrium, magnesium, blood and lymph flow separately in vessels and lymphatics, therefore, blood and lymph are running carrier. It is proved by scientific research that micro- electricity generates when running carrier is in plumb with magnetic lines in magnetic field. The micro-electricity not only has impact on human body bioelectricity, but also changes the thickness and running speed of anion to produce heat, which rises up the temperature of endermic tissues, expands capillary vessels, speeds up blood flowage and increasingly promote collectively blood circulation and other body functions.

You could see here drossy iron around magnet forms certain shape, and that shape is inviable magnetic field.

Based on modern medical research, the main effects of bio-magnets are as follows:
1. Balance bioelectricity and magnetism
2. Acupuncture effect and adjust equation of body.
3. Enhance human immune system.
4. Balance microelements inner body.
5. Improve blood microcirculation.
6. Calm, assuage pain, diminish inflammation, detumescence, lower blood pressure, lower blood fiber, anti-senesce etc.

Scientifical tests show that our products with magnetic strips & magnets, have the function of maintaining permanent magnetic fields and generating above-mentioned efficacies.

The risk is there even after taking into account things such as weight, age and the use of sleep medications, said Ms Katie Stone and colleagues at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute in San Francisco.

‘Sleep deprivation in younger adults leads to slower reaction times, and this may represent an unmeasured factor that could explain these findings,’ they wrote in a report published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

The study involved nearly 3,000 women 70 and older who were followed for a number of years.

Women in the study who slept no more than five hours per night had a 50 per cent higher risk of having two or more falls over the course of a year than those who slept more than seven hours, the researchers found.

For those who slept from five to seven hours, the risk was 40 per cent higher than for the longest sleepers.
Ms Stone said in an interview that while the study involved only women, preliminary results from research she is now doing indicate that the same can be said for elderly men.
‘It’s definitely a problem in both men and women,’ she said.

People who have trouble sleeping are often given benzodiazepines – anti-anxiety drugs that can help insomnia – but previous research had not determined whether it was poor sleep or the medications used to treat it that caused falls, the researchers said.

The use of those drugs and the increased risk of falls ‘may be in part explained by poor sleep,’ the researchers said.

The team said more comprehensive studies are needed to look at the relationship of falls to such things as sleep-fragmenting breathing disorders and the use of newer sleep drugs.

It’s likely to be four or six months before an injured skier or other athlete is back in play again from the conventional treatment of ice, followed by heat to reduce swelling.

Heat alone will not stimulate therapeutic repair of injured tissue or muscle. An ample supply of nutrient-rich blood is needed. Healing requires resumption of normal blood flow to the injured site, not simply pain relief. In magnetic therapy, knee braces can be removed more quickly; weightlifters can reduce lower back pain; sciatica (inflammation of sciatic nerve running down the hip and thigh) and carpal tunnel syndrome can be relieved.

Osteopathic physician Sanford Paul, Mercerville NJ, is convinced of the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. "Though I use conventional medical methods I find that the application of biomagnets has helped in some difficult traumatic-injury cases.

I feel that biomagnets should be part of the total armamentarium of future physicians," he says. However, "Unless used properly, their value is no greater than that of a regular magnet."

Orthopedic chiropractor Kurt Vreeland, White River Junction, Vermont, physician for the U.S. Olympic ski jumping team, uses magnets for ski and other injuries. "I have used magnets with good results on everything from rotator cuff injuries to what they used to call in football ‘hip-pointer’.

• Avoid alcoholic drinks in the late evening. Alcohol may help sleep onset, but can cause early morning wakefulness.
• Cut back on coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine, especially in the evening.
• Avoid eating a large, late-evening meal and heavy, fatty foods before going to bed.
• Listen to some relaxing music or do some light relaxation exercise such as yoga before going to bed.
• Don’t use your bedroom as a place to work.
• Take a warm (NOT HOT) bath (not a shower) before going to bed.
• Avoid naps if they interfere with your normal sleep pattern.
• If unable to fall asleep within 20-30 minutes of lying down, get up and do something else until you feel sleepy. This way your body does not associate your bed with wakefulness.

Exercise during the day. -For those of you with difficulty sleeping due to nighttime pain or suffer from other forms of insomnia, complementary and alternative therapies are noninvasive and tend to be free of side effects. They enhance physical and emotional well-being and help to relieve and control your symptoms. They are also an important part of an overall wellness program to help maintain your health.
Clinical studies have shown that a properly designed magnetic sleep system provides many benefits to those suffering from nighttime pain and sleeplessness, and those waking up with stiff or sore muscles.  Advanced Biomagnetics Sleep Systems takes magnetic sleep systems use a multi-therapeutic approach for reducing pain and stress to improve the quality of your sleep.

The most common reason for sleep problems for people with pain is the pain itself. While people with discomfort may eventually be able to fall asleep, the pain awakens them throughout the night, and they feel exhausted the next day. Although they may get many hours of sleep, they are fatigued during the day due to poor quality of sleep.

Sleep consists of two very different states: rapid-eye-movement (REM) and Non-REM sleep. In REM sleep (when dreams occur) your eyes move under your lids, your heartbeat quickens, your body processes speed up, and you toss and turn, which further aggravates a painful condition. Many people wake up in the morning feeling stiff or sore, which can also be a sign that your mattress is no longer comfortable or supportive.

There are several stages of Non-REM sleep, but we will concern ourselves with the deepest stage (stage 4). During this time the body repairs itself and restores lost energy, utilizing a hormone called somatostatin. Lack of stage 4 sleep is believed to be an important factor in chronically painful conditions such as fibromyalgia.

During the winter months the earth’s magnetic field diminishes in strength, leading to increased susceptibility for desynchronization of circadian rhythms and "seasonal affective disorder," characterized by recurrent winter depression associated with hypersomnia, overeating, and carbohydrate craving. The study also found that when the earth’s magnetic field is shielded it significantly desynchronizes man’s circadian rhythms, which could gradually be resynchronized with the application of a supplemental magnetic field. The practical application of which would be to sleep on a magnetic mattress or mattress pad.

Sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and is essential if you are to feel your best during the day. Sleep requirements vary widely, but most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep a night.
Lack of sleep impairs your ability to function properly during the day. 1-in-3 American adults (over 56 million) lose 20 hours of sleep each month due to nighttime pain and sleeplessness. That’s the equivalent of three full nights of sleep.

Those who complain of nighttime pain experience back pain most, followed by headaches, muscular aches and pains, and arthritis pain.

Sleep loss decreases the entire brain’s ability to function, most significantly impairing the areas of the brain responsible for attention, complex planning, complex mental operations, and judgment. Until recently, most scientists did not believe that lack of sleep caused any significant physical problems. A study at the University of Chicago, Dept. of Medicine found that sleep debt has a harmful effect on endocrine function and carbohydrate metabolism and may increase the severity of chronic disorders, including the sensation of pain. The impact of lack of sleep on the body is astounding. When healthy young men in there 20’s were allowed only four hours sleep per night for six consecutive nights their blood test results nearly matched those of diabetics. In addition, they had elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to hypertension and memory impairment.

Previous research had shown that obese people and those with sleep problems such as sleep apnea who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness had higher levels of interleukin6 (IL-6) in the blood during the day.

"This new research shows that in young, healthy people who had no sleep problems, that IL-6 was elevated the next day when they were denied sleep," explains Alexandros Vgontzas, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry and a psychiatrist at The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "We also know that excessive daytime sleepiness occurs in about 5 percent of the population, so a better understanding of the mechanisms of sleep could help millions of people."

IL-6 is a cytokine — proteins that act as regulators in immune function, metabolism and sleep.

Vgontzas and his colleagues’ paper titled, "Circadian Interleukin-6 Secretion and Quantity and Depth of Sleep," is published in the August issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and metabolism.

Vgontzas and his team studied eight healthy young men between the ages of 20 and 29. They were all in general good health, physically active but not excessively, had no sleep complaints and were not taking any medications. Each subject took part in the experiment that lasted seven days. Each subject spent four consecutive nights in the sleep lab and was able to have a normal night of sleep. Blood was taken every half-hour for 24 hours to measure IL-6. On the fifth night subjects were made to stay up and not sleep at all. They were allowed to sleep again on nights six and seven.

"As we had thought, the amount of IL-6 in the blood was greatly increased during the day following the missed night of sleep. Subjects secreted the IL-6 during the day rather than at night. Their bodies wanted to sleep so they experienced daytime fatigue," explains Vgontzas.

Another finding of the study was that light sleep was associated with increased amount of IL-6 during the day while a good night’s sleep was associated with decreased day time secretion of IL-6 and a good sense of well being. This finding means that good sleep is associated with decreased exposure of tissues to the potentially harmful actions of IL-6 on the cardiovascular system and bones. In addition, this study demonstrated that healthy people with greater amounts of deep sleep are inherently more capable of tolerating sleep loss, possibly avoiding exposure to the potentially harmful effects of increased IL-6 secretion.

The National Institutes of Health and Penn State’s College of Medicine sponsored this work.. Vgontzas and his team plan further sleep studies into IL-6, including testing agents that might neutralize the secretion of IL-6.
