Mixing Medications is Dangerous says Dr. Oz on ‘The View’

 

Well known Surgeon and Talk Show Host, Dr. Mehmet Oz spoke of the dangers of mixing medications during a February 23, 2012 appearance on ‘The View.’  His words have resonated in a culture where alternatives to pills are very much needed. New recovery sleepwear called Goodnighties is poised to fill the gap for better sleep.

According to Sleep Psychologist, Gregg Jacobs, “Over 30% of the medical problems that doctors are faced with stem directly from sleep deprivation.”

Sleeping restfully is a necessity that can’t be taken for granted.  As many as 70 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorders.  Poor sleep can lead to a compromised immune system, hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity and cancer. (The Institute of Medicine, Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation). The collateral damage from this is an estimated $15.9 billion to National healthcare costs. (National Commission on Sleep Disorders).

            U.S. manufacturer, Goodnighties, Inc. is making great progress in a new   sleepwear category of “functional apparel.” The patented fabric used to make      Goodnighties sleepwear is proven to stimulate blood flow to tired muscles helping one relax in a deeper restorative sleep.

           Senior Retail and Apparel Analyst, Alison Lipson from Mintel, a leading market research company reported recently that “Many women are seeking solutions for discomfort and restless nights.  Retailers and manufacturers have the opportunity to target these consumers by promoting functional, yet affordable sleepwear.” said Ms. Lipson.  According to her research; “The Goodnighties recovery sleepwear is designed with IonX fabric, typically used for athletes, to help restore muscles and reduce pain.  An added bonus for wearers who suffer from hot flashes, the fabric is also moisture-wicking, reducing the effects of night sweats.“ Ms. Lipson continued.

           Women with unavoidable hormone changes due to menopause are twice as likely as men to have difficulty falling and staying asleep. Recently ABC WorldNews Anchor, Diane Sawyer announced that “30% of women with sleep issues are taking serious prescription medication to find relief.” Continuing this message with warning; Dr. Oz stated today that “medications are not taken seriously” and “if a medication is strong enough to help us…it’s strong enough to hurt us.”  

           Those who have worn Goodnighties pajamas for better sleep agree. Reviewed by Chicago Tribune Syndicated reporter; Seka Palekuca “If you’re a skeptic, as many of us are, you might be wondering how fabric can possibly help you sleep better. Well, we put it to the test and found the fabric ultra-soothing and ultimately relaxing. There was also no waking up in the middle of the night to throw off the covers. Bottom line – we slept better.”

Pills for better sleep are not always the answer!

Stress leads to anxiety and serious insomnia.

So many women suffer from anxiety and depression which naturally leads to sleeplessness. It’s unfortunate the sleeplessness related issues that follow then compound the problem. Such a vicious cycle! The root of all this is to get a good night’s sleep which can ultimately change your life. It is unfortunate that our culture has been trained to first think of a pill as the ‘solution.’ Sleep aids are created for short-term solutions and many OTC brands, contain antihistamines which quickly can develop a ‘tolerance.’ The ‘habit’ of sleep aids also comes with our culture convinced from commercial training, that you must have a pill to find some relief and that cycle continues.

Breaking routine and viewing new ideas for finding relief is an uphill education process but when the breakthrough occurs like with a simple solution as in Goodnighties fabric – there will be no looking back. :) and because it’s safe…there will be no need to.
Sweet dreams are ahead… and the dangers of mixing medications will be over.

Move Over Grammy’s – the Jammie award is here- Goodnighties Wins!

 

Move over Grammy’s this year – a new award ‘The Jammie’ has just taken 1st place for outstanding achievement in the sleep industry. <a href=”http://www.goodnighties.com”>Goodnighties has become an overnight success and is overtaking the prescription world by storm. This amazing sleepwear is most popular in the pajama category with gowns running a close second. Women everywhere are singing praises about the amazing high-tech fabric used in creating Goodnighties.

In November 2011, ABC News Anchor, Diane Sawyer announced that “30% of women are taking serious prescription medication to sleep.” These are alarming numbers that also connect to our already weak economy in the way of ‘lost productivity’ due to insomnia. According to findings published in the Journal of Sleep, researchers from Harvard Medical School and University of Michigan determined that less alert workers cost an employer an average of $2,777 per person adding to the annual calculated productivity loss of $63 billion. It was also noted in the study that a high percentage of sleepy workers show up for work but are not nearly as productive as their rested peers resulting in costly errors or accidents.

Goodnighties is brilliantly poised to challenge old ideas of pills and expensive mattresses with smart-fabric technology that stimulates blood flow to tired muscles to then promote better sleep. Many find muscle pain relief as an added benefit. Additionally, this remarkable fabric also moisture-wicks to control night sweats and regulate body temperature + it’s anti-microbial to resist odor.

Better sleep is a global issue affecting women’s health and the volume of accolades for Goodnighties is rising. This week the United Kingdom’s ‘Women’s Own’ magazine reviewer, Joanne Lester enthusiastically announced, “…it worked! I didn’t wake up in the night drenched in sweat and needing to throw off the duvet. The fabric absorbed the sweat of a flush and banished the chills that follow one.”

An exciting twilight star has been earned for Goodnighties on the ‘Sleep Walk of Fame’. So far this sleepwear is made for women with a crowd pleasing request for a men’s line which will be announced in the spring.   

For men looking for the perfect Valentine gift, there are few things that will make your woman feel over-the-moon… unlike a box of chocolates or flowers that will quickly wilt, Goodnighties will long be enjoyed and appreciated.

Like the grand American ceremony of the Grammy Awards, Goodnighties is also 100% Made in the USA.

Chocolates, Flowers and thE best Valentine Gift; Goodnighties Sleepwear

It’s true – this year’s choice for the gift women want and truly need is the latest in simple solutions for better sleep – Goodnighties pajamas and nightgowns are quickly taking the market by storm. Completely USA Made patented ionized fabric that stimulates blood flow to tired muscles to help restless sleepers finally get a good night’s sleep. Thoughtful men know the most romantic woman is a rested one and for some, it’s actually life changing. Unlike flowers and chocolates…this is a unique gift that lasts.
Goodnighties is the first and only sleepwear which combines attributes never before found in sleepwear fabric. Aside from ionization for better sleep, this soft unique fabric also moisture-wicks and is anti-microbial. Genuinely speaking, “Goodnighties is a ‘dream’ for the sleepless and a quick way to warm the heart of your significant other”, said Goodnighties creator, Marcia Bacon.
According to the National Retail Federation in a 2011 poll of 8,913 consumers, men spend on average $158.71 on Valentine’s Day. In ordinary times the big heart-shaped satin box of chocolates, flowers and dinner out, would be sufficient but in times of extreme stress, economic pressures and chaotic lifestyles, sleep has taken over as the must-have gift for the times. So it’s official… valentines are great but Goodnighties sleepwear needs to be added to be really special.
Our culture today is a far cry from lovely Chaucer poems written during the Middle Ages which first aroused the idea of traditional ‘courtly love’ flourishing the Valentine tradition known today. ‘Middle Ages’ in modern times, is known as a time of intense responsibilities for many generations – this can then quickly morph into a cycle of sleeplessness. Whether you’re a young mother or a more mature woman experiencing symptoms of [menopause, sleeplessness is sleeplessness. Additionally, ‘middle ages’ can also mean ‘middle’ as in high calorie foods which leads to weight gain in the stomach region. According to researchers at the University of Chicago, ‘The lack of shut-eye alters appetite regulating hormones. The subjects tested reported feeling hungrier, with strong craving for calorie-dense, carb-rich foods, such as sweet, salty snacks like potato chips and starchy foods like pasta.” This is a direct contributor to the alarmingly high obesity numbers that are also contributing to serious health issues.
The answer is moderation in food servings and 8 hours of restful sleep… so for thin or [plus size women this year, it’s chocolate in moderation- a single delectable piece with a set of pajamas from Goodnighties that will have lasting appeal on many levels.
