Whether it's a full-night's deep sleep, or a recharging ‘powernap' during the day, pzizz will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How does pzizz work ? pzizz combines four elements: • Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) - the influence of language patterns on brainwaves; spoken by Michael Breen, one of the World's foremost NLP Master Trainers • Enchanting music – composed by Paul O'Duffy, platinum-selling record producer • Soothing sound effects of nature, the ocean and birdlife • A binaural beat (auditory brainstem responses) Together they produce a wonderfully relaxed state in the listener, similar to that experienced during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep. It is when in this relaxed state that the subconscious is most open to positive suggestion, and this is where the expertise of Michael Breen, one of the World's foremost NLP Master Trainers, comes into play. His voice will guide you through the program of your choice, providing you with all of the benefits of a "one-on-one" private session in the comfort of your home or office and without any effort from you.

Pzizz provides you with all of the benefits of an exclusive, private yet flexible personal development program. It's an anti-stress session in the comfort of your home or office. You can choose the length of your ‘nap' (10 to 60 minutes) to suit the time you have available. pzizz then creates an absolutely unique power-nap for you every time.

The user can adjust voice and music volumes separately; choose between ‘mono' voice sound files or unique ‘Aurora' stereo voice sound files; choose to have vocal suggestions all the way through, just for the intro or switch off altogether; and always concludes with a gentle wake-up reminder to bring you back rejuvenated. Each session is different but favorite naps can be stored and reused. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do I need pzizz ? pzizz can help you relax and rejuvenate and avoid stress and anxiety at work. “The dangers of burnout are very real. Studies cited by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health indicate 40 per cent of all workers feel overworked, pressured and squeezed to the point of anxiety, depression and disease. And the problem is getting worse, thanks to intensified competition, rapid market changes and an unending stream of terrible news about natural disasters, terrorism, and the state of the economy.” Australian Financial Review 2 December 2005 Back to Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is pzizz proven to work? Herbert Benson, founder of the Mind/Body Medical Institute in the US, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of the bestseller ‘The Relaxation Response' (Perennial) interviewed in the Australian Financial Review 2 December 2005. “By bringing the brain to the height of activity and then suddenly moving it into a passive, relaxed state, it's possible to stimulate much higher neurological performance than would otherwise be the case. Over time, subjects who learn to do this as a matter of course perform at consistently higher levels. The effect is particularly noticeable in athletes and creative artists but we have also seen it among the businesspeople we work with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: So how would you tap into the breakout principle? A: A breakout sequence occurs in four steps. The first step is to struggle mightily with a thorny problem. This may be concentrated problem analysis or fact gathering; it can also simply be thinking intently about a stressful situation, for example a tough employee, a performance conundrum or a budgetary difficulty. The key is to put a significant amount of preliminary hard work into the matter. You want to lean into the problem to get to the top of the [stress/productivity] curve. You can tell you have neared the top of the curve when you stop feeling productive and start feeling stressed. You may have unpleasant feelings such as anxiety, fearfulness, anger or boredom, or you may feel like procrastinating. You may even have symptoms such as a headache, a knot in the stomach, or sweaty palms. Step two involves walking away from the problem and doing something that is utterly different in order to produce the relaxation response. There are many ways that you can do this. A 10-minute relaxation-response exercise, in which you calm your mind and focus on your out-breath while disregarding the thoughts you've been having, works extremely well. Some people go jogging or pet a furry animal; others look at paintings they love. Some relax in a sauna or take a hot shower. Still others ‘sleep on it'. All of these things bring about the mental rearrangement that is the foundation for new insights, solutions, and creativity. The key is to stop analysing, surrender control, and completely detach yourself from the stress-producing thoughts. When you allow your brain to quiet down your body releases the puffs of nitric oxide that make you feel better and more productive.” NASA STATES...

Dr Tom Misner, Founder and President of SAE Technical Colleges, Byron Bay, Australia Why should I consider stocking pzizz in my store or recommending pzizz for my staff? Staff who are more relaxed perform better. The findings of a recent study in Sydney (The Garvan Institute) has implications for employers who were pushing their employees too hard, Associate Professor Herbert Herzog, director of the Garvan neurobiology research program said. "They're missing out on valuable, quality workers; it's not a good investment to create a work environment where workers are stressed." Sydney Sun Herald 15 January 2006 “It's critical that companies do something to address the rampant negative effects of workplace stress if they want to compete effectively, but often the kinds of programs they institute are stopgaps. HR may bring in a lecturer once or twice a year or set up tai chi sessions and urge everyone to go, but few people show up because they feel they can't take the time to eat their lunch, much less spend an hour doing something perceived as both unrelated to work and relaxing to boot. Unless the leadership and culture explicitly encourage people to join in, employees will continue to feel guilty or worry that they'll be seen as slackers.” Says Herbert Benson, founder of the Mind/Body Medical Institute, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of the bestseller ‘The Relaxation Response' (Perennial) Financial Review 2 December 2005 <br> Sleeping on the Job 29 March 1999 - Insomnia and sleep deprivation is costing American companies $18 billion a year in lost productivity," says Darrel Drobnich of the Sleep Institute. "I have a slogan: 'Be productive. Take a nap.' http://www.s-t.com Sleep -The Next Employee Benefit? Wake up employees and go to sleep! William Anthony Ph.D. and Camille Anthony M.Ed. of Boston University are huge proponents of napping. "Napping at the workplace provides a healthy, low-cost method for increasing employee productivity - to us it's a no-brainer!" The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) statistics: The average adult sleeps under 7 hours a night during a work week. 33% of adults surveyed sleep only 61/2 hours nightly. 40% of adults admit that the quality of their work suffers when they're sleepy. 68% say their ability to concentrate is diminished by sleepiness. 19% report making some mistakes and errors due to sleepiness. Sleepy drivers cause approximately 100,000 car crashes annually. 33% of adults surveyed would nap at work, if allowed. http://johnstownpa.ybn.com More Bosses Encourage Napping on Job "Sometimes, those 20 minutes give you energy to go on for a few more hours, rather than faking lucidity for the rest of the day," said Frank M. Ligons, 23, a business analyst who says he used to try to beat fatigue by staring blankly at the work on his desk. http://linkage.rockefeller.edu Power Sleep 10 February 1998 - According to Dr. Maas, airline pilots, medical practitioners, truck drivers, and other shift workers are not the only sleep deprived members of our society. Maas claims that anyone who sleeps less than 6-7 hours per night (over 1/3 of the U.S. population) is missing a significant amount of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which plays a major role in facilitating memory storage and retention, organization and reorganization, and new learning and performance. In Power Sleep, Maas presents numerous findings on sleep based on recent research. Just a handful of these facts include the following: Losing just one hour of sleep every night for a week is equivalent to pulling an all-nighter Conversely, sleeping one hour longer per night boosts a person's alertness by 25% The parent of a new baby loses between 450 and 700 hours of sleep in the first year of a child's life Adolescents need 10 hours of sleep a night to be fully alert all day; And approximately 30 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and people with this disorder are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke within ten years as those without it http://www.speaking.com New research confirms that long working hours and stress at work are causing serious problems for UK workers. 7 November 2001 - Stress in the workplace affects people throughout their lives. The research showed that over half of stressed workers feel that it is damaging their health; reducing their job satisfaction (65%); and lowering their productivity (41%). Other major areas of life which stress at work affects included deterioration in social life (49%) and problems with relationships - with their partner (38%) and their children (23%). One in five suffering from stress consult professional help. The situation is likely to get worse, with two out of three people expecting it to remain unchanged or even deteriorate. http://www.isma.org.uk/pr11.htm Power Napping 12 February 1998 - Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center say Americans in general tend to be sleep-deprived. We get about one hour less sleep each night than we need, which leaves us groggy or sleepy in the afternoon. Trying to fight the sleepiness with coffee or a cola drink, may make you feel more alert for a little while, but once the caffeine and sugar high wears off, you'll still be tired, and your sleep that night won't be as restful, which only makes the problem worse. Doctors say a brief afternoon nap could be just the trick for staying alert in the afternoon. A 20-minute bit of shut-eye when you're at your lowest energy level can give you a boost for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, our culture doesn't allow for habits like these, but maybe it's time for a change. Instead of coffee breaks, we could take nap breaks and be more productive. http://www3.utsouthwestern.edu Workers Under Stress 2 February 2002 - Stress has overtaken the common cold as the number one reason why people stay off work, a report claims. A TUC report shows that there were nearly 6,500 new cases reported to unions this year compared with around 500 last year. The report follows research by the Health and Safety Executive which shows that nearly 150,000 workers have taken at least a month off sick because of stress-related illness. Stress is now estimated to cost British industry £370m a year. http://www.sky.com Napping. Or, How to Live Twice As Long 2001 - My buddy, J.C. Spitznagel, claims that without naps he’d be sans sex, falling asleep too early for romance. "A half hour nap’s better than Viagra," he asserts. "A pill to keep your sex life up ain’t worth spit if the rest of you is down snoring." Makes sense. And now there is growing scientific evidence that restorative naps renew energy and enthusiasm while reducing accidents and errors. http://www.suddenlysenior.com A Little Shut-Eye, a Lot of Efficiency. August 2001 - At Yarde Metals, napping rooms are just one of many perks. "We can't say directly that allowing napping increases sales, but we can say without question that napping contributes to higher sales, earnings, productivity, and efficiency," says company president Craig Yarde, who notes that the firm has "almost zero turnover. http://www.findarticles.com Power Napping It's normal to experience an energy slump around mid-afternoon, particularly since many of us are sleep-deprived to begin with. Power napping can help counter the effects of this afternoon lethargy. GlobeRoom finds out how. http://www.globeroom.com The big sleep, nodding off 5 December 2000 - In one study, Rosekind says, pilots working on long flights were allowed a 40-minute nap, while others got no nap. When compared to the flyers who got no sleep, the nappers turned in a 34-percent higher performance level and scored 100 percent better in terms of alertness, he says. http://www9.cnn.com ILO report examines mental health in the workplace: Costs of Workplace stress are rising 10 October 2000 - "Employees suffer from low morale, burnout, anxiety, stress, lost income and even unemployment associated in some cases with the inevitable stigma attached to mental illness. For employers, the costs are felt in terms of low productivity, reduced profits, high rates of staff turnover and increased costs of recruiting and training replacement staff. For governments, the costs include health care costs and insurance payments as well the loss of income at the national level." http://www.ilo.org The Nod To Midday Naps Reduce stress! Siesta-loving Europeans and Latin Americans are more relaxed. They usually score better on stress tests than North Americans. The risk of heart disease is shown to be greatly reduced by regular 30 minute naps. Naps greatly strengthen the ability to pay close attention to details and to make critical decisions. Naps taken about eight hours after you wake have been proved to do much more for you than if you added those twenty minutes onto already adequate nocturnal sleep. http://www.powersleep.org Naps could replace coffee as workers’ favourite break July 1998 - The National Sleep Foundation reports that we tend to feel sleepy between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. due to a drop in body temperature. The everyday stress we feel from our jobs may be alleviated by taking a 15- to 20-minute nap to restore alertness, memory and curb the effects of fatigue. The idea of taking afternoon naps is now piquing the business world’s curiosity. P.M. Clary, the head of a sleep and productivity consultant’s firm called Powernap, is taking his afternoon nap philosophy to the companies. 'You have to take care of people,' Clary says. 'Anyone who says they couldn’t use a nap is not being honest.' http://www.apa.org High Costs of Stress $19.4 billion are lost by US. industry every year due to premature employee death. $150 million per year are lost by the U.S. due to stress-related absenteeism. http://www.relaxwithin.com Work gets tough, tough get napping Science, which is never wrong, offers plenty of evidence that an afternoon snooze is a benefit to employees and employers. A 1999 Japanese study said a 20-minute mid afternoon nap led to improved performance and self-confidence. A 2000 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine reported that a 10-minute nap improved performance for at least an hour after the subjects were awakened. http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com Sleeping on The Job 2001 - Long stigmatized, napping in the workplace has gained more attention due in large part to an increasingly sleep deprived population. Over half the American workforce reports that sleepiness on the job interferes with the amount of work they get done. Employees estimate that the quality and quantity of their work is diminished by about 30 percent. William A. Anthony, Ph.D., director of Boston University’s Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation s well aware of those dramatic statistics. "When people are sleep deprived, they make errors; they don’t listen well," he says. According to a survey he conducted, people reported that they made mistakes in organizing information that could have been prevented if they were fully alert. Others reported mood swings that affected the dynamics of the office. http://www.globalbusinesscafe.com Factors behind workplace stress (TUC research) –29, November 2001 Workload 74% Staff cuts 53% Change 44% Long hours 39% Shift work 30% Bullying 30% Cramped conditions 16% http://news.bbc.co.uk Sleeping on the Job Dr James B Maas, a US psychologist, says employers are waking up to the fact that sleep deprivation causes accidents and reduces productivity. What employees need, he tells them, is a 'power nap'. And our 24/7 lifestyles mean that more than 50 per cent of us are sleep deprived. Instead of sacking serial snoozers, companies in America are now positively encouraging staff to kick off their shoes, snuggle up under a blanket and get some shut-eye. http://www.bigissuescotland.com Stress levels rise as workers struggle to balance the demands of work and home 2 December 2001 - A report from the Industrial Society, Occupational Stress, published earlier this year showed that almost 70% of people surveyed cited difficulty in balancing work and home demands as a significant contributing factor to occupational stress. Nearly 50% reported unrealistic deadlines and the conssequent time pressure as a factor. More than 40% identified poor communications as a factor in raising stress levels. http://www.hrmguide.co.uk Benefits Of A Power Nap 2002 - "A power nap is a great thing to do for 20 minutes. It actually gives your conscious mind a break, and it allows your whole body to completely let go." http://www.thebakersfieldchannel.com Stress 'counter-productive' Tuesday, 2 January 2001 – A survey by the Trades Union Congress last year found that stress was the number one concern among employees. The TUC claims that British industry loses 90 million working days a year because of stress at work. TUC figures also show the number of workers claiming compensation for stress has soared by 70% in recent years. http://news.bbc.co.uk Napping No Longer Just for Little Kids Apparently, you're never too big to take a nap. James Maas, professor of psychology at Cornell University and a sleep researcher for more than 30 years, thinks it's about time. Maas' research has shown that 38 percent of all American workers nap -- whether they're allowed to or not. They nap sitting up at their desk, in the bathroom stall, in their car in the parking lot between the hours of approximately 2 to 4 p.m., our normal biological rhythm dips; we slow down, we're tired and what we need is a little sleep. ... Napping is a stopgap measure." http://www.newhousenews.com Stress concern for teachers 7 May 2002 – Proper counselling for stressed teachers in Scotland could save more than £1m in sick pay each year, it has been claimed. Research shows that stress plays a major part in absenteeism, and it is the fourth most common reason teachers are off sick. http://news.bbc.co.uk Napping At work Napping on the job is usually grounds to be fired. But today many companies are encouraging employees to nap to improve safety and increase productivity. Naps are catching on in a range of workplaces, both service and manufacturing-based. Fatigue is a problem throughout the rail industry. One study of train operators found that 11 percent fell asleep on most or all night shifts, with five percent reporting to have fallen asleep on most or all early morning shifts, according to a 1993 study by the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research commissioned for the U.S. Congress. http://www.pbs.org Are you sleep deprived? September 2002 - The 2001 Sleep in America poll of 1,004 adults found the Americans over the last five years have tended to work more and sleep less. The poll found that 63 percent get less than eight hours a night and about 31 percent get less than seven hours. While the amount of sleep Americans get has gone down in the last five years, the number of hours worked has gone up. The poll found that the average work week was 46 hours and 38 percent of those surveyed said they work 60 hours or more a week. "The survey found that the more time you spend at work, the less sleep you obtain,'' said James Walsh vice president of NSF. http://www.wellnesstoday.com/sleep_deprived.htm Improving Sleep & Alertness: Helping You Feel More Rested 26th July 2002 - As of July 26, 2002 at 6:14:53 PM EDT (-0500), the U.S. population was 287,624,777.

"Napping may protect brain circuits from overuse until those neurons can consolidate what's been learned about a procedure," says neuroscientist Robert Stickgold of Harvard Medical School. A version of this phenomenon occurs among musicians, according to Stickgold. A nap or a night's sleep often leads to a breakthrough in learning a complex musical piece. "This new linkage of naps to learning a repetitive task is exciting, but it's too soon to say that naps work like this for everybody," remarks psychologist Rosalind Cartwright of Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago. http://www.sciencenews.org/20020601/fob6.asp Sleeping at work 'a good thing' 26th May 2002 - US scientists say sleeping on the job should possibly be regarded as good conduct rather than slacking. The research shows that napping for 30 minutes or an hour during the day maintains mental performance when the brain is overloaded. Without a "powernap" too much information flooding the brain of a busy employee can "fry" the neurons and lead to a loss of learning ability. http://www.ananova.com/business/story/sm_595551.html?menu=business.latestheadlines 24/7 Culture poses health risk 15th April 2002 - A conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London heard that disturbed sleep patterns could have a long-term impact on health - and affect mood and performance. Sleep deprivation can lead to difficulties in regulating blood sugar levels, delegates heard. Shift workers have started to complain about heart and stomach problems. "When we deprive people of sleep we see changes in their performance and sensory vigilance" says Dr Derk-Jan Dijk. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1931140.stm Modern mums suffer sleep deprivation 2nd April 2002 - "The majority of mums in the UK today suffer from chronic sleep deprivation which affects every area of their lives" says Dani Zur. A poll by Mother and Baby magazine has found that many are struggling to cope on five hours sleep a night. The survey found: • 56% of working mothers said weariness left them in a "state of despair" • 82% admitted a lack of sleep affected their performance at work • 88% felt fed up, exhausted and pulled in too many directions • 70% said their tiredness was so debilitating they felt unable to function properly • 61% said their boss was not understanding http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1906858.stm Hands-on approach relieves office stress 22nd March 2002 - According to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, stressful workplaces have resulted in the following: • Job burnout by up to 40 percent of U.S. workers is blamed on stress. • Depression, only one type of stress reaction, is predicted to be the leading occupational disease of the 21st century, responsible for more missed work days than any other single factor. • Each Year in the United States, $300 billion ú 7,500 per employee ú is spent on stress-related compensation claims, reduced productivity, absenteeism, health insurance costs, direct medical expenses and employee turnover. http://eastbay.bizjournals.com/eastbay/stories/2002/03/25/smallb3.html Risks of Short Sleeping: Recent Studies Expose Dangers in Chronic Sleep Deprivation 20th March 2002 - Tens of millions of Americans suffer from a condition that until recently, most health professionals did not take seriously. It can accelerate the aging process, lead to obesity and increase the risk of some diseases. It's garden-variety sleep deprivation and it might be more of a problem than you think. Dr. David Dinges, chief of the Division of Sleep and Chronobiology at the University of Pennsylvania, says the best time to take a nap is from noon to 6 p.m. and the peak time is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Finally, it is more efficient to nap in advance of anticipated sleep debt — rather than the next day. The military's leading sleep expert, Colonel Gregory Belenky's high-tech brain images show that sleep debt decreases the entire brain's ability to function — most significantly impairing the areas of the brain responsible for attention, complex planning, complex mental operations, and judgement. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/2020/2020_010330_sleep.html <br><br> <a href="/index.html">I</a> <a
