SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU SLEEP!

Insomnia ranks right behind the common cold, stomach disorders, and headaches as a reason why people seek a doctor's help.

Serious sleeping troubles sometimes can result in psychiatric disturbance breathing problems, or unexplained leg movements during the middle of night. If you can't easily fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night for a month or so at a time, it may be time to consult an expert.

EXERCISE

Exercise does let you sleep sounder. But to help you fall asleep
faster, the best time to exercise is not just before bedtime, and
the type of exercise you should choose is not high intensity
training.

You see, when you train hard before bed, your heart works
harder, pumping more blood with every beat. High activity state
of the body means sleep is less likely. Your body also warm up
during exercise - whereas sleep is actually induced by a fall in
temperature of few degrees.

In short the best exercise to let you fall asleep better is a 20 minute bout of
cardio, done 5-6 hours before bedtime. Since the metabolic rise in body
temperature peaks by this time and starts to fall, you will catch the onset of
sleep just right.

* Avoid stimulants after twilight like coffee, colas, and even chocolate.
Don't smoke either; nicotine is a stimulant, too.

* Avoid alcohol at dinner and throughout the rest of the evening.

* Eat a light snack before bedtime--
for example bread and fruit or a glass of warm milk will do nicely
an hour or two before you hit the bed.
* Avoid sugary snacks that can excite your system or heavy
meals that can stress your body.
