Want A Better Quality Of Life? Get More Sleep
Do you suffer from insomnia? This condition often brings more than simply a feeling of fatigue
The effects of sleeplessness can range from lack of productivity at work to a chain reaction of poor health habits and reduced quality of life. If you do not have the energy to get through the day, you likely won't have the desire to exercise, cook wholesome meals or spend time on hobbies and chores.
According to the Web site www.getsomesleep.com, 58 percent of U.S. adults experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights or more per week, and 35 percent report at least one symptom of insomnia nearly every night.
Here are a few tips to help you get your sleep schedule back on track:
* Do something relaxing before bed, recommends the National Sleep Foundation. For some, deep-breathing exercises are just the ticket to a good night's rest, while others find that playing soft music or reading a magazine helps.
* Consider supplements. An over-the-counter product like Insomnia, from the "Spray" line of sublingual sprays, can help relieve the stress that may be keeping you awake at night. A combination of natural remedies, Insomnia curbs immediate symptoms, but also works on a deeper level to help promote sleep, according to its manufacturer. For more information, call (866) 412-7827 or visit www.thespray.com.
* Get medical attention. Disruptions in sleep patterns may indicate an underlying medical issue, such as depression. A doctor will be able to identify the best treatment for you.
* Make sure your bedroom is quiet. It may seem simple, but even the slightest sounds can affect your sleep. Noises can disturb sleep even when they don't awaken you, according to the American Insomnia Association.
* Don't drink caffeinated beverages close to bedtime. Those who are serious about getting a good night's sleep are usually caffeine-free after lunch. Coffee, cola, chocolate and other foods containing caffeine can have an affect on your body for up to 12 hours after consumption, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
* Don't eat or work in bed. Your bed should be a place of rest and relaxation, not a place for an active mind.
* Be mindful of your schedule, says the American Insomnia Association. Set certain times in the day for meals and other daily activities. Having a regular schedule keeps your body's "inner clock" functioning properly.
