Tired of Waking up Tired?  15 Ways to Have The Best Sleep Ever

 

Sleep is one of the most important physiological functions and helps us function more efficiently. The Circadian Rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. If the Circadian Rhythm is interrupted there is a higher risk of poor health and disease. Proper sleep habits will help keep the Circadian Rhythm in balance. 

      15 Ways to Have the BEST SLEEP EVER

1. Quiet Please! If your sensitive to noise or live in a noisy home try a sound soother, noise cancelation device or earplugs.

2. Alcohol Helps Sleep? Although it is perceived as a technique for better sleep think again. 27 studies have confirmed that healthy people fall asleep quicker and more deeply, but they also confirm that REM (Restorative) sleep is disrupted. Absolutely No Alcohol after 6.00 P.M.

3. Lose Weight. If your Obese or Overweight, it will probably contribute to Sleep Apnea, Breathing Issues and the inability to get comfortable in bed.

4. Do you Wake up Frequently & Are Always Tired? If you snore, get woken up frequently or feel fatigued constantly see an Ears, Nose & Throat Dr. as you may have a Deviated Septum and/or Sleep Apnea. A sleep study can determine if you have Sleep Apnea and a CPAP machine can be prescribed if necessary. Sleep Apnea actually stops your breathing and wakes you up and over time can cause heart attacks or stroke.

5. Food Glorious Food. Stop eating after 7.00 p.m. and avoid eating heavy, greasy or spicy food for dinner to enhance sleep. Another reason to stop eating late is researchers in Spain believe that eating too close to bedtime affects the ability to metabolize food and can trigger cancer-promoting inflammation. 

6. Exercise. 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise may increase the amount of deep sleep so the brain and body have a chance to rejuvenate. Try not to exercise several hours before bedtime as the endorphin release might keep you awake.

7. Depression or Anxiety? Take up Yoga and try THC-Free CBD OIL to help you chill out. Daily Exercise can also help reduce depression.

8. Avoid Caffeine. That means keeping away from chocolate, coffee, tea, and energy drinks after dinner.

9. Stop Smoking! It can save your heart and lungs and also improve your sleep. Smoking increases your chance of developing Obstructive Sleep Apnea by up to 3 times.

10. Get a Dog? A Canisius College study (I call it “survey” as it was not controlled) determined that Women who slept with dogs by their side fared better than those that slept with cats or humans. Women surveyed said they felt more "secure and comfortable" with their family dog sleeping nearby. Other findings include; women went to bed earlier, slept better and felt more rested when they woke up.

11. Keep it Dark. If your room has light shining in from the outside at night consider wearing a sleep mask or getting blackout blinds.

12. Sex before Sleep. In a survey of 460 adults between the ages of 18 & 70, 64% of respondents felt that slept better having an orgasm before sleep.  The body releases the love hormone, Oxytocin which relaxes you.

13. Let there be Light!  By exposing yourself to 15 -30 minutes of morning sunlight you are releasing Serotonin, the Happy, Feel Good Hormone and decreasing morning Melatonin production, the Sleep Hormone.  (Melatonin then regulates your sleep at night.)  

14. Get a Comfortable Adjustable Pillow! Tossing and turning at night having to readjust your uncomfortable pillow that won't stay in place will cause sleep disturbances. Many wake up in the morning exhausted with neck pain or headaches because their pillow is not providing proper neck and head support.

15. Chill Out! Keeping your bedroom between 60-70 degrees helps stimulate sleep.
