from Anchoring Hope Ministries

Join David Mansilla on Anchoring Hope as he interviews Nyree Penn, the Founder and CEO of Prosomnia Sleep Health and Wellness, about her revolutionary, patented anesthesia-induced REM sleep therapy for chronic insomnia and REM sleep disorders. Nyree shares her journey of faith that led her to pioneer a medical solution for what she calls a "sleep pandemic."This episode shines a light on the critical importance of restorative sleep and provides practical, biblical, and neurological insights for better rest.Things you can take away from this video:✅ PROSOMNIA Sleep's Unique Therapy: Nyree's clinic provides 1-hour anesthesia-induced REM sleep therapy to give people deep, restorative rest for chronic insomnia and REM sleep disorders.✅ The "Sleep Pandemic": Nyree notes that sleep problems are becoming a widespread issue, often due to lifestyle and a lack of education on proper sleep health and routines.✅ Sleep in Aging: As people mature, their ability to stay asleep may diminish due to changes in the brain's neurotransmitters and receptors. Sleep cycles often shift, with older adults sometimes going to bed and waking up earlier.✅ Two Types of Sleep: There are two main types of sleep: Non-REM (for the body) and REM (for the mind). REM sleep is when the mind can truly rest and is when dreams are believed to occur.✅ The Problem with Melatonin and Sleeping Pills: Long-term use of external melatonin can decrease the body's natural ability to produce its own due to a negative feedback system. There is a chronic abuse and addiction occurring with sleeping pills as people build a tolerance.✅ Best Sleep Practices: Key recommendations include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule (even for night shift workers) and ensuring the sleeping environment is cold and dark.✅ The Blue Light Danger: Blue light from cell phones and electronics decreases the production of melatonin, signaling to the body that it is daytime.✅ Faith and Entrepreneurship: Nyree emphasizes that her journey was divinely guided, stating that she could not have made it this far without strengthening her faith, and she views her business as fulfilling God's purpose for her life.#SleepHealth #InsomniaTreatment #AnesthesiaSleep #REMSleep #SleepDeprivation #ProsomniaSleep #NyreePenn #AnchoringHopePodcast #FaithInBusiness #ChristianEntrepreneur #HealthySleepHabits #Melatonin

Paper Flower Consortium is a podcast from the largest vampire coven in Seattle. Their stories are told by Loretta Fabron Onfoy, coven historian and librarian, in the hope that the modern vampire's way of life is not lost during the next great language transformation. Some tales in this anthology are horrific, some are droll, some are filled with misadventure--just like any eternal existence. Episodes sponsored by the Paper Flower Consortium's Business Community. The history is followed by questions from curious initiates. Want to ask Lady Loretta a question about vampirism? Have a topic you want to see discussed? Email [email protected] The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
