SLEEPY TIME By Paul Allen Do you have a hard time sleeping at night? According to the National Sleep Foundation, almost 60% of all people wake up in the morning feeling tired due to restless sleep. There are numerous ways to help you sleep at night besides taking sleeping pills and hopefully one of these will help you! A) Relax your mind and body. If you go to bed stressed out and thinking about all the things you have to do the next day, you will have a difficult time shutting down and falling asleep. Try sitting in a chair listening to music, or sit in your bed in a dark room for five minutes before you try to sleep, this will let your body know it’s time to shut down. Turn off your cell phone so you don’t have to worry about calls. B) Don’t drink alcohol right before you go to bed. Yes, it’s true that drinking too much alcohol will eventually make you pass out and sleep, but we are not talking about getting flat-out drunk in order to sleep. Avoid alcoholic beverages within three hours of going to bed. This will give your body time to digest the booze and get it out of your system. As your liver breaks down alcohol, it produces “coffee-like” stimulants that can increase your heart rate. By not drinking within three hours of bedtime, your body will have time to do its job.
C) Make sure your bedroom is “sleep-friendly”. Your room should be dark, quiet, cool and well ventilated. We all have an “internal body clock”, so it’s important to have darkness when you go to sleep and brightness when you awake. This will help your body adjust to sleep time. You also want a comfortable, soft bed with the right pillow. d) Many restless sleepers are lacking in calcium and magnesium. These particular minerals soothe the nervous system, reduce anxiety and relax muscles. Try taking a supplement that includes these two minerals to help you sleep better. Calcium is found in milk and that’s why a glass of milk helps many people. Another additive that helps is melatonin. Research says that taking 1mg. to 3mg. three times a week will help people sleep better and wake up more refreshed. E) Caffeine will keep you awake so that means you should go easy on the soda, coffee and tea after 6:00pm at night. Another stimulant is nicotine, so you might not want that “before bed” smoke! Hopefully you can use this information if you have trouble sleeping at night. There are numerous over-the-counter and prescription drugs that will also help, but if you can sleep better without artificial help, why not give it a try?
