This post might seem like a paid post, but it’s not… I truly found a phenomenal solution to my insomnia problems without taking any sleep drugs. I know that many of the people who read OpenJason have similar careers and work-schedules. If you have a spare $20, there’s a book called “Sound Sleep, Sound Mind.” I highly recommend this reading, as it saved my life… really.
I typically go to sleep at 1am and wake up at about 5am. I’ve always been a morning person and have only needed a good 4 hours of sleep each night to feel perfect the next day. If I sleep more than 5 hours, I tend to feel tired throughout the next day. Most people think I’m crazy for having a schedule with such little sleep, but the truth is, quality of sleep is much better than quantity of sleep.
Working behind a computer all day, every day can do some strange things to your body… mentally and physically. After a long day, it’s not hard to feel completely exhausted… again, mentally and physically. I love doing what I do, but with a business to manage and 3 kids and a wife to run me, sleep becomes a commodity. I started having some serious insomnia. Accustomed to only 4 hours of sleep, insomnia issues quickly lead to zero hours of sleep… At first it was tough, but I handled it. After a few days of little to no sleep, it wasn’t tough anymore… it was impossible. I found myself struggling with elementary school math, my mood hit the fan, and my mind was to foggy to keep myself on track.
I have a friend who works at a sleep center here in Albuquerque. He suggested I get a sleep study, but considering my schedule and my family requirements, it wasn’t gonna happen. The alternative was to go out and buy a book called, “Sound Sleep, Sound Mind” by a local Sleep Medicine Expert, Dr. Barry Krakow. As I was reading this book, I realized that Dr. Krakow wasn’t the typical sleep doctor. Come to find out, he has been all over national news and continues to do really good things with sleep research. He’s published several books, one being specific to insomnia. If you’re interested in reading the book, visit sleeptreatment.com.

Hello,
We wanted to introduce ourselves to you & the Joomla community. We are a new company called Joomlatools, focused on building applications for Joomla users that want professional, extendable open source extensions. All of our extensions will be built from the ground up with lots of user feedback, tried and tested by real customers and professionally written by folks who helped create Joomla!
Our team consists of both experienced Joomla developers (Johan Janssens – major contributor to Joomla 1.5, Mathias Verraes – major contributor to DOCman and Shayne Bartlett – major contributor to LETTERman) and other open source contributors (Laurens Vandeput – Eclipse, Joomla) and Amit Shah (co-founder and VP Business Development of OpenX).
Our first application is called Nooku and is focused on helping Joomla users create multi-lingual websites easily, with integrated user workflow and translation management. Nooku fits seamlessly into Joomla 1.5 and is both an extension and a framework. To fund the application development needed to create this extension we have invited members of the Joomla community to contribute funds to employ our team of developers.
We would love your help in getting the word out about Joomlatools and our first application, Nooku. Please let me know if you would like to learn more about Joomlatools or our applications in development.
Regards,
Amit
Sage-like. I bet you predicted $200/bbl oil, as well.
