Poor Sleep Is Related to Increased Death

Submitted by Wei-Shin Lai MD on Mon, 03/08/2010 - 17:00

Adults who take longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep have more than twice the risk of death than adults who take less than 30 minutes to fall asleep.

It's okay. That doesn't mean that the next time you have insomnia, you will die sooner. It just means that they have seen a relationship between poor sleep and an increased risk of death. So perhaps people who have more medical problems can't sleep as well. Or perhaps people who don't sleep well develop more medical problems that increase their risk of death.

Well, the first night, we had left 2 options for checkout accidentally, and a few people tried to check out using the wrong option. Then there were many minor bugs, like missing links and such. Those were quickly fixed. We had the downloads in as a product, but then quickly realized that was confusing people. So we changed that and all downloads are available on a single page again. We didn't have the left side menu up initially either, but the page looked so sparse and shipping was difficult to find. So we decided to put the menu on the left again.

We have some new sample fleeces from Polartec! The orange and green are from recycled plastic. We'll be working on making these into sample SleepPhones and RunPhones. If you are a friend, family member, or long-time SleepPhones customer, you're first in line to try these out! I'll probably announce in the newsletter when the samples are ready.
