Good night sleep tips

Healthy Sleep Tips

For the most part, sleeping involves a routine. So it makes sense that there are things you can do in your daily and nightly routines to improve your sleep quality. Along with consulting your healthcare provider, you might want to incorporate some of the following tips:
Change Your Day to Maximize Sleep
Wake up and go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends.
Limit your intake of alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco products during the day, especially in the hours before sleep.

Finish eating 2 to 3 hours before bedtime, avoiding big meals.
Exercise regularly. Finish your exercise a few hours before bedtime.
Eliminate napping or limit the duration to 20 to 30 minutes.
Create the Best Possible Sleep Environment
Remove electronics like computers and televisions from your room.
Keep the room cool, comfortable, quiet, and dark.
Use a comfortable mattress and pillows.
Use the bed only for sleep and intimacy.

Prepare for Sleep
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine: take a bath, read a book, listen to relaxing music before bed.
Don't watch the clock—it can cause anxiety about sleep.
Get out of bed if you can't fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes. Only spend time in bed when you are actually sleeping.
Write down concerns that keep you awake, creating a "to do" list for tomorrow. Also keep a sleep journal to help you see patterns in your sleep.

Today

Today was a good day. Went to church with my family, we had a great time. There is much to be said about getting together with other people. It is so encouraging & uplifting, my daughter loves the beginners church. You know thank God for faith because I don't know where I would be without it. Faith has carried me through rough times & the good times of my life. I really like this saying -If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. Hope that everyone had a good day.
