Early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy and

Are you
often tired during the day?
The US
studies has shown that around 70% of
the citizens do not get the proper
rest they need. For this reason,
people are suffering poor health,
depression and so on. You can get 12
hours of sleep a night. But,
if you're constantly awakened, then
you're never going to reach the
deepest levels of sleep. If you are
having difficulties getting to sleep
at night, there are a number of
things you can do to help you get a
good night’s sleep. There are also
things you should avoid to enhance
your chances of getting a great
sleep.
Try to avoid
Smoking
Studies
have shown that those people who
smoke a pack a day will have
problems falling asleep and when
they do it will not be as deep. It
also affects the air passages, so
you may wake during the night
gasping for air.
Thinking, planning, worrying
It will
have your brain whirring. Try to
relax your mind to stop thinking,
planning and worrying. Try to keep
work and money problems outside your
bedroom. An argument with your
partner or your best friend should
be resolved before going to sleep.
Drink coffee before sleep
It
contains caffeine. It can take about
six hours to leave your system. Even
one cup of coffee in the morning can
affect sleep quality hours later.
Women tend to metabolize caffeine
much slower than men.
Intake of carbohydrate rich, hot,
spicy or fried foods before bed
This
can upset the digestive system and
cause acidity and heartburn, which
may be interference in getting a
sound sleep. Avoid late night heavy
meals. However, a light snack at
bedtime may be helpful.
Try the following tips to help you
sleep:
Having
a warm glass of milk before you go
to bed seems to help a lot of people
for achieving better sleep. Milk
when it is warm releases tryptophan.
On the other hand, warm milk also
has substances that can keep you
awake. Let your own body tell you
what it likes about milk.
A warm
bath to soothe your body.
Keep a
regular sleep schedule
Make
sure you turn the television and
computer off an hour before you
going to bed. This gives time to
prepare yourself for sleep.
Relaxing before bedtime, which is
the best way to get to sleep, tries
a progressive muscle relaxation
technique.
Exchange a back and/or foot massage
with your partner before bed
Better
Sleep Leads To Healthy Life. Things
that you do for good health are
essential and will directly improve
your quality of sleep. Having a
regular exercise, eating a healthy
diet such as fruits, vegetables may
help to improve your quality of
sleep.
Create
a peaceful sleeping environment.
Embrace the darkness. Bright lights
and loud noise stimulate your ‘fight
or flight’ hormones. This means your
body thinks it must be morning. A
serene ambience with proper lighting
and comfortably cool temperature
makes the body ready for sleep. Make
your bedroom as comfortable as
possible. It is after all, the room
for sleeping.
Exercising regularly can help you
sleep. But make sure you complete
your exercise a few hours before
going to bed.
If you
find it difficult to sleep at night,
try adjusting the room temperature,
especially if you feel
uncomfortable. Lower the temperature
of the bedroom before sleep. Cool
temperatures make for better sleep.
Use
OCA Water Pillow. It is designed
to naturally position the head and
neck on the basis of hydrostatic
buoyancy to eliminate neck pain and
headaches and to improve your
sleeping posture for a better
night's sleep.
Improve your
quality of sleep by reducing neck
pain, headaches, and morning pain
intensity.
The pillow adjusts to the firmness
and support necessary for your head
and neck by simply adding the
desired amount of water. The correct
firmness aligns your spine for the
best sleeping posture regardless of
your sleeping position, reducing
undue stress, tension and pressure
on your face, neck, muscles,
ligaments, vessels, and nerves.
