[marilyn glover]

Whether it's a real, full-blown case of insomnia or just a temporary
issue that makes sleep hard to come by, losing even a precious hour
can set some people on the wrong path the next day. With this in mind,
it's a good idea to follow basic tips for getting a good night sleep
when problems arise.
To ensure a good night sleep most nights, it's important to do a few
things on a routine basis. These include:
' Set a bedtime. Sure, this is what kids have to deal with, but the
truth is grown ups can benefit from this, too. When a good night sleep
is wanted, setting the body on a clock can really help. Sticking to it
can ensure a good night sleep on most nights.
' Quit eating. People who like to nosh right up until bed time often
find getting a good night sleep impossible. With the body working so
hard to digest and issues such as reflux and heartburn possible, this
just doesn't make good sense. Try to stop eating at least an hour to
two before bedtime to help with getting a good night sleep.
' Environment. Creating a relaxing, comfortable environment in a
bedroom can help with getting a good night sleep. Keep papers and
other reminders of work out of there, get heavy drapes to block the
light and make sure the bed is comfortable and inviting. This tip can
help almost anyone get a good night sleep.
' Exercise. No one wants to do this one, but the truth is it helps.
When a good night sleep is wanted, a little exercise a few hours
before bed can really help burn off extra energy and stress.
When the routine things for getting a good night sleep don't help,
there are other options to consider. These include:
' Relaxation techniques. Meditation, deep breathing and learning to
let stress melt away (at least for a while) can help with getting a
good night sleep.
' Aromatherapy. This one is fun and easy to do. All it takes is a warm
lavender bath, aromatherapy candles or oils and getting a good night
sleep is more likely. The relaxation provided can benefit the body in
other ways, too.
' Seek medical advice. If insomnia is a real issue, it might be wise
to seek medical help. A number of conditions and medications can cause
insomnia. This might be up there with exercise for getting a good
night sleep, but sometimes it's for the best.
Getting a good night sleep is important for almost everything a person
does. From how they act to how they perform, sleep impacts it all.
When getting a good night sleep isn't possible, the above tips can
really
help.
