Creating your ideal sleep areaI have known several people in my life that have suffered from problems with sleep and it seems in this day and age, with the hustle and bustle of life, and between school and work and this and that sleep has become underevaluled and it is no surprsie or conincidence that there has been an increase in the ads plastered all over the TV pimping this or that sleeping pill, so here are some natural and ralitively simple and easy ways to help get vauled and needed sleep.
Bed is for sleeping
If your bedroom is also your genreal living space, you may find it difficult to physchologically switch off at bedtime. If this is the case you need to train your body to associate your bed with sleep. Get into bed only when you are really tired and on the verge of falling asleep. If you feel like reading or watching TV, relax in a chair or even on cushions on the floor rather then sitting in bed.
Keep it dark
We associate light with daytime and being active. If you find that light is disturbing your sleep use heavy curtains to keep your room dark or perhaps you could try using an eye mask.
Recliam your bed
You may be associating your bed with activities other then sleep. Try to seperate your bed from other areas of your room, such as a desk or easy chairs by using a screen or a thin curtain.
The right mattress
An uncomftrable mattress or pillow can lead to back pain and a bad night's sleep. Mattresses and pillows should be replaced once the support in them has gone.
Block out the world
Light is not the only form of distraction from the outside world. Traffic noise can be a great disturbance, but you can dampen the sound with heavy blings of curtains.
Fresh air
Even in winter, fresh air is essential for a sound night's sleep. Stuffiness and smells can remind you of your day and unsettle you, preventing your mind from clearing itself and switching off.
Temperature
Your body cools down during sleep. Opening your window or using a fan can help to drop the tempature of a room. This then helps to get your body ready for slumber.
Silent Night
To block out distracting background nosies, try wearing ear plugs or playing low-volume relaxing music. White noise, such a a fan, may also help to lull you to sleep.
Dream Pillow
A dream pillow is a small sachet filled with aromatic herbs. When squeezed the dream pillow emits the fragrences of the herbs within to help you drift into a restful sleep. 9:22 AM - 9/18/2006 - post comment
