Can You Experience Better Sleep? Find Out How-part 2
Better sleep should not be so hard to find.
If you already read some tips for better sleep in part 1, I hope you already get experience in better sleep. But if you still difficult to have it, don't worry because I still hav some tips for you in this article.
There are other things that may have an impact on out ability to go to sleep or to achieve better sleep through the night without interruption. Most of these are easily fixed once we become aware of them. See if any of these applies to you and experience better sleep immediately!
Comfort
Is your bed comfortable? A surprising number of people can’t sleep properly or have trouble falling asleep due to an uncomfortable mattress. A sagging sleep surface can cause an unnatural spine alignment which can cause muscles, particularly in the lower back, to tense up to try and compensate. The result is a nagging pain in the lower back.
If your mattress is too hard, it will not conform to the shape of your body and will be uncomfortable causing you to toss and turn all night. A good mattress which fits with your idea of comfort is an excellent investment even if you have never had a restless night. It will keep your spine and overall posture in good shape. If you are a poor sleeper, a good mattress is up there with the most important things in life!
However, for one reason or another you may not be able to buy a new mattress right now. Don’t despair there is another option which costs a lot less. Its called memory foam and you simply lay it on top of your existing mattress.
Get a better nights sleep on your new memory foam mattress. Have a peaceful nights sleep and awake refreshed on new foam mattresses. For more information read some reviews of memory foam mattresses. Dont be disturbed by your partners movements while sleeping with a memory foam mattress topper. Check out the advantages of memory foam for your back and joints.
Using you bed for other activities
We need to tell out subconscious minds that we are going to bed to go to sleep. Much better sleep can be found if we refrain from using our beds for anything else but sleep. Writing letters, watching TV etc should all be done before going to bed.
Some experts say reading should also be included in the above. There are however some of us who find that reading in bed sends them to the land of nod much quicker. This is probably because reading takes the mind off all the stresses of the day. So again, try and see what works for you. It’s probably best to avoid exciting or scary novels though!
I myself have a CD player going at low volume that can turn itself off when finished. Cassettes are not as good as most players make a loud ‘click’ as they switch off! Your choice of music is important here, try relaxation music, meditation CDs or boring lectures!
One CD I can completely recommend is Deep Sleep It allows your brain to go naturally into a peaceful alpha state where the annoying mind chatter which keeps so many of us awake is quietened. You'll wake rested and refreshed.
Daytime naps
Experts disagree on this one, you may have to see how it works for you. Most say that daytime naps are bad, keeping you from falling asleep easily at night. However some folk swear by their nap after lunch, insisting that it keeps them alert in the afternoon. You decide for yourself. In some Mediterranean countries it is 'de rigueur' to have a siesta in the afternoons, even for the workers!
Too much light
Is light interfering with your sleep? Is your bedroom near a street light? Do you have to sleep during the day? Investing in heavier curtains or blind for your windows would help obtain better sleep. Another option is a sleep mask. These are light and comfortable and will allow you to sleep in in the morning!
