Sleepy pointers



Sweet dreams are mad of this. Here are some easy-to-follow tips for a good night's sleep.

1. Go to bed and wake up at about the same time every day, including weekends.

2. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; take a bath, prepare you bed, etc.

3. Take a few moments to process and release residual emotions from your day by jounaling or talking with a friend or loved one.

4. Keep a journal or sleep log to make notes about the quality of your sleep. This can help you to gather information on improving your sleep pattern.

5. Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, cool comfortable and feels safe.

6. Keep your bedroom free from distractions like work, television and computers.

7. Enjoy a small serving of complex carbs if you desire as a bedtime snack.

8. Exercise regularly, but finish a few hours before bedtime.

9. Keep your alarm clock away from your head and bed.

10. Avoid nicotine, caffeine (coffee, tea,cola, chocolate) and alcohol before bed.

11. Refrain from checking the time at night - it can cause anxiety about sleeping.

12. Daytime naps are wonderful, but limit them to 20 minutes.

hmmm...i wonder whether is work for me!!!!!!
