Tips for Better Sleep

Sleep

check out this link to find ways to help you get in those ZzZzZz...I know I am always talking about sleep, but believe me it's that important. There's nothing better than starting your day feeling rested. Once you begin to get enough sleep you will notice a difference in your mood, skin, digestion, etc. Remember that your body needs time to recharge and if you don't give it the right amount of time to do it the tasks are incomplete. Use the tips in this video (& below this sleeping kitty picture) and keep in mind all of the things I have mentioned before. Side note, I lost 4 lbs last week. :)

1. Avoid waking up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night by drinking anything about 2-3 hours before you go to bed.

2. Avoid staying up late and waking up early.

3. If you don't sleep enough is bad ans when you sleep too much its bad so remember everything is good in moderation.

4. Keep the room dark: don't turn on the TV/PC or go on facebook Mobile.

5. No sweets, smoked meats, chocolate, energy drinks, tomatoes sauce, chili, pizza, or spicy foods before bed. Eat foods that will help you fall asleep, such as cherries, bananas, toast, oatmeal, or warm milk)

6. Keep a pen an pad next to your bed side and write down your thoughts or the things you need to do the next day. This will help clear your mind.

7. If you grind your teeth at night you either need to see a dentist, get a night guard, or try acupuncture.

8. Develop a sleep schedule, we all have inner clocks.

9. If you are experiencing frequent urination, see a doctor.

10. If you snore you might get rid of it by losing weight, changing the position you sleep in, avoid alcohol, etc. Never take sleeping pills unless suggested by your doctor and all else fails.

For more info talk to your doctor about your sleep troubles.
