Get more sleep and Energy

Robert can sleep on the train, car, airplane and even sitting in the hot sun! So articles such as this one do not apply to people like Robert! These people actually may sleep too much, tend to be relaxed and not have a worry in the world even if the world is collapsing.

Then thee those folks like me that need medication and all kinds of therapy and even then maybe get 4-6 hours of sleep! I have some tips I will follow and they are as follows:

Change you're bed sheets: Sven out of ten people say they get a better night sleep when the sheets are changed! Also make you're bed! Most people get relaxed when they climb into a dressed up bed even if done just before you go to sleep! (thanks mom you were right)

Take you're vitamins in the morning such as B12 can alter you're sleep patterns

No afternoon coffee: Coffee, tea or dark chocolate can effect you're needed deep sleep!

Nix naps: if you have a hard time sleeping at night, don't add to injury by napping during the day!

Ditch the smart phone TV or any bedroom lights an hour before going to sleep.

Practice letting Go: If you can leave you're challenges at the bedroom door you can sleep better.

Hire a handyman: You must have no noise while sleeping so a noisy radiator or fan cal effect you're deep sleep. Also any construction going on, get some ear plugs.

Avoid over the counter sleeping aids: These tend to make you drowsy but do not assist with deep sleep you need.

Strike a pose: Try yoga and relaxation before sleeping! It relax the body and mind.

Keep cool: I find this one interesting! The temperature you're room should be at night is between 60-68!

Take it from someone who has tried all of the above except yoga. Yes I agree I sleep better at 60 degrees. But keeping you're house at 60 degrees at night would cost us tremendous amount of monies for electricity here in Florida. Unfortunately we do not have dual systems where I can control the room from the house but its woreth looking into!

Other than that its advice as we all try to get a better nights sleep. By the way I am writing this blog at 4:30 am after sleeping an interrupted 6 hours.
