Waking Up Disorder

Pzizz Review

I found a cool product called Pzizz, which helps you to sleep at night or take a nap or relax during the day to increase your energy level. It is a software that plays some sound effects, and you can export the music to mp3 if you don’t have a PC in your bedroom.  The sound content is basically a guy telling you to relax with some relaxing music in the background, and strangely, the voice doesn’t bother your mind and you feel very relaxed while listening to it. They say it uses a mathematical formula to mix the sound effects so you never hear the same thing twice.

Pzizz lets you set the duration of the sound effect up to 60 minutes, and you can configure to automatically shut down your PC after it’s done.  You can also choose the music with or without voice. There are the night mode and the day time nap mode, which you can buy separately and very affordable. You can download a free sample from their website. Try it yourself and see if it works for you.

Nap to ease your sleep disorder

It’s July and my waking up problem is getting worse again lately.  My guess is because the day is longer now and the sun is still up and bright in the evenings, so the melatonin doesn’t get produced in my body in time for my bedtime. I lay down on my bed at night and close my eyes, but I can’t fall asleep.  And if I can’t get good sleep, I can’t wake up in the morning. 

I recently learned about the effectiveness of nap.  There are lots of articles about power nap on websites.  Taking a short nap in the middle of afternoon is kind of taboo for office workers, but I was surprised to find out that many companies are now starting to set up a nap room for their employees to take a nap.  Many articles say that short naps can ease daytime tardiness.  It can also be helpful for people who can’t get enough sleep at night to function during the daytime. It may be something worthwhile to try if you can.

SleepTracker Review

SleepTracker is a wristwatch to help you wake up in the morning.  It records your movement during the night and alarms at the optimal time to wake up during a time window you set.  I thought this watch was a really great invention, but after I started using it I have a mixed felling about this watch.  It basically detects when you roll over or move your arm while you sleep to determine that you are in a light sleep stage.  It’s a very simple idea if you think about it.  It does not read your brain wave or detect different stages of sleep cycles, so the recorded result probably doesn’t mean much to the doctors.  When the alarm goes off, I usually hear the beep, but I fall back to sleep right away.  So this watch is probably not enough to wake up the heavy sleepers like me.  If it were a little cheaper, I wouldn’t mind recommending to people to just try it out, but for $180, I am not sure it’s affordable to anyone.  I’d say, if you have extra money, try one, but don’t expect it would work for everyone.

Home remedy for problems waking up

I can’t wake up in the morning!  I am one of those people who suffer from a serious waking up problem every day. When I was in high school, I had some classmates who were having the same problem as mine, but they eventually grew out of it. My problem never diminished even after I became a professional. This is a serious problem nobody understands. I can’t be a successful professional when I show up late at work. One day, I saw a TV show about why some people have difficulty waking up, and I learned that it may be a type of sleep disorder.  So I started to research on the internet and took a lot of notes, and that’s what you see on this site.  I hope this is useful for the people who suffer from the same problem.  Remember, you are not the only one who is fighting with a waking up disorder!
