The word "pampering" probably conjures up dreams of destination spas, a weekend at a bed and breakfast or the luxury of a massage, pedicure or other decadent service. But sleep? Isn't that a necessity and not a luxury? New parents may disagree.

For many new parents, getting a full 40 winks becomes a luxury. When Lisa Hadlock, of Mt. Airy, Ga., became a new parent, a good night's sleep quickly became a distant memory. "I never worked so hard or worried so much until my first was born," says Hadlock. "I couldn't turn my mind off, not even at night. I wanted the very best for her, and after a busy day, nighttime seemed to be the only time I could think about how to help her or make a better life for her or what I needed to do the next day for her."

Since then, Hadlock has had three children and has suffered from insomnia for almost seven years. She's tried everything imaginable, from warm milk to prescription drugs, with little success.

According to the 2003 Sleep in America poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, 40 percent of Americans reported their sleep quality as fair or poor. With dozens of sleep products on the market, new moms are leery about taking over-the-counter medications, especially while breastfeeding, which is one reason why MiracleSleep™ was invented.
