affect our RNA. Another reason for inadequate sleep is
nightshift work and not sleeping in the dark. Artificial
light and isn't good either. It is estimated that 70% of
the people living with stress, computer/tablets and TV
do have sleep disorders. Sleeping pattern disorders are
very common and can create depressions and adrenal
fatigues as well as many other pathologies. If they are
not sustained with adequate support (treated) and not
taken care of rapidly. Sleeping disorders can also result
in autoimmune disorders and deficiencies.
Another contributing factor to sleep disorders is “junk
food” and the lack of time to cook and eat nutritionally.
Often resulting in consumption of processed meals
containing high amounts of sugars.

WHY GOOD SLEEPING IS COMPUL SORY & WHY
TH E RE IS A SLE E PING PROBLE M IN MODE RN
SOCIET Y:
One could ask oneself the question, if we have good
beds with super mattresses made from modern and
space-age materials, then why do we sleep disquieting,
troubled or restlessly? One of the major causes is in
fact television. Surely its rest we seek and need after a
hard day’s work, especially with loads of stress during
our day. Of course, we need to diminish our stress and
unwind after working and before going to bed.
It is normal that we want to spend time with our beloved
friends and family. However, often our minds are kept
awake in front of TV, being the UV or blue light eye
killer, together with the computers and tablets whereon
we also socialize or use as a method to relax; these are
the typical wave frequencies we should actually take
care to avoid or at a minimum limit our exposure to, as
they alter our bio rhythms and can even kill the DNA and

THIS IS WHY WE SHALL CHECKLIST AND
PREVENT WORSENING AND REGULATE IN MANY
WAYS WITH:
• Adequate nutrition
• Appropriate exercise
• Much fluids intake
• Contemplate relaxations other than TV or other
electronic devices (the good-old book is still the best
with appropriate light that doesn't damage the eye
sight of course).
Taking into consideration that most of the people in
modern society work indoors and under fluorescent
lighting, we never have enough exposer to sunlight
to ‘catch-in’ the much needed vitamin D building rays
our body requires. This can quickly result in endocrine
DNA and RNA damages from Wi-Fi signals, high stress
levels and inappropriate nutrition all of which offer
little chance for our biological auto defense system
to defend itself, which is a situation that we should
of course and by all means avoid.
There is a time to sleep and a time to be awake naturally
for humans, at day light we are pre-programmed to be
awake, at evening we should relax and at night sleep.
And due to modern lifestyles this cycle is often times
too much disturbed which wreaks havoc on our bodies.
