5 simple ways to improve sleep…

We live in a 1000 mile per hour society filled with distractions, temptations, and time drainers that bust up our sleep cycles.

It may seem like “not a big deal”.   candidly, it’s quite a big deal:  We need our sleep!.

We Need Our Sleep

I’m sure you’ve been in bed, staring at your alarm clock, as the flashing digital numbers, painfully, did move!  You can’t sleep.  But you’re tired.  So you lay there, ready and waiting(p) for sleep that never comes…

The next day, you are tired, knackered, and besides yourself… You scuffle through the day just “hoping” to get by.  Just doing enough to get through work…

However, you’re never able to reload your batteries.

Applying these five tips will help you, roughly “overnight”, sleep longer and better.

1.)     No Electronics before bed – One of the main reasons we have a hard time sleeping is our brains are over stimulated.  We work, or surf the net before we go to bed, and our brains race.  You’ve become over stimulated, wide-awake.  So you stay awake.   Computers, video games, and TV contribute to this.

2.)    More exercise, maybe work at night – The more you work out, or exert your body the more tired it gets.  A at ease, in shape and exhausted body cannot help but fall speedily to sleep.  One hint is to work out before bed, even just stretching, pushups or sit-ups.  The physical movement should put you out like a light.

3.)    Avoid Caffeine – Caffeine gives us a impermanent boast of vitality.  It’s why people drink coffee before and during work, why athletes drink caffeine or over stressed college students fall back to ‘speed & energy’ drinks.  Caffeine keeps us awake.  Ergo, it’s bad for your sleep.

4.)    Establish a routine – Sleep, eat and work out, if possible the same time daily.  Set your body in a rhythm, and train it to know that you are expecting sleep at a set time each day, within reason.  If you eat regularly, work out and relax by a schedule, your sleep will fall in line.  Right now, most of us function off schedule. schedule.   Stay up late, eat late and you are training you body to sleep later on.  You are your own worst enemy.

5.)    Nest – Make your space your own.  take out clutter, make it dark and very comfortable.  Somewhere you can’t resist.  Separate work from rest.  Try not to work where you sleep.  Create a space that is only for sleeping, and you will train your mind to switch off as soon as your head hits the pillow.

I hope these tips can help you improve your sleep.
