How to Attain a Restful Night of Sleep
By Dr. Steve Fisher
Many people have problems sleeping. Today I want to discuss sleep and ways to attain a restful night of sleep.
Loss of sleep or interrupted sleep can cause many problems. Such as:
Depressed immune function
Inability to concentrate
Irritability
Prone to accidents
Everyone should strive to attain seven to nine hours of quality sleep per night. Some of the things you can do to improve your sleep are:
Begin to unwind two hours before bedtime
Dim your lights thirty to forty-five minutes before bedtime
Use your bed for two things only: rest and sleep
If you are still having problem falling asleep or staying asleep try some of these techniques:
Muscle Relaxation Exercise
Diaphragmic Breathing
White Noise
Keep a pencil & paper near your bed to write things down you are
afraid you may forget the next morning
Supplement with one or more of these:
Magnesium / Melatonin/Hops / Passion Flower / Valerian Root
Please tell your friends and family about this tip so they too can benefit from a healthy lifestyle.
