Tempur Pedic sleeping systems

That's the interesting thing about this type of supplementation - it doesn't make you tired, it just lets you fall asleep naturally and stay asleep. It isn't like a sleeping pill or even an antihistamine.

But it's a hormone iinm, so always use with care!

Actually, Gaba is not a hormone. It is an amino acid. Here is info about it:

and so is 5HTP:

Both of them occur naturally in the body as well

Whoops, I thought you were talking about melatonin! My apols!

i never realized what a light sleeper i was! i'm not used to sleeping next to someone else so before i had my husband i slept just fine alone! is there any way to create a deeper sleep?! lately i've also been taking melatonin but it doesn't work as well as i hoped!!

I used to have no problems sleeping until I began to share a bed regularly with someone else. My husband can sleep through a hurricane but I awake at the slightest noise - and he snores:-). I tried melatonin as well and it didn't work. A friend put me on to the technique I use now. It is safe, healthy and it works! Before going to bed take a calcium and magnesium supplement and GABA -(gamma-aminobutyric acid). They both aid in calming the body and mind and promoting healthy, restful sleep. I also take extra vitamin D since calcium requires vitamin D for absorption. I have a friend who swears by 5HTP. I tried it and it worked but not as well as the GABA and the calcium/magnesium combo. You can find GABA in a store that specializes in nutrition or vitamins.

I noticed I sleep better if I take my calcium supplements at night also.

3. Beware of getting a Sleep Number bed if you like to cuddle with your spouse, there's a hard ridge down the center separating the two halves if you get one that allows each chamber to be inflated separately. And if you actually agree enough to get one of the ones with *one* chamber instead of two, why spend that money to get a Sleep-Number bed instead of a regular mattress that you both agree on. We did try a SN bed and it was comfortable for each of us, but then we couldn't lie wrapped around each other like we like to.

We never feel the center. It doesn't bother me at all. Unless both sides are on sleep number 10, still I tried to feel yesterday the center (hubby mentioned this post) but I couldn't.

I still think select comfort is the best bed I have ever slept and it's worth the money.
