As a Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialist, I see firsthand how challenging it is for many patients to acclimate to CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines. Insomnia can be a major barrier to CPAP success.

To combat the heat, I used to bring frozen water bottles and gel ice packs into bed to keep me cool through the night. While they did work, I'd wake up each morning with wet water rings and condensation marks on my sheets that would seep into my mattress - meaning more hassle, more laundry, and less sleep.

In the run-up to Christmas 2018, wobbly with delirium on a station platform packed with partygoers, I nearly fell under a train.

The Light Player - Aid-Sleeping Music Lamp combines calming light and soothing sound to create an ideal sleep environment, offering three distinct modes for relaxation.

As an adult, my brain has developed this habit of processing my entire life as soon as my head hits the pillow, keeping me awake for hours.

Persistent issues with sleep may also impact our general health and cause problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke and depression.
