Leave work out. Occasional work stress is inevitable. Dont take it into the bedroom. Leave work materials outside of your bedroom and think of your room as a place for rest and relaxation.
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Sometimes its tough to keep a consistent schedule, particularly on the weekends, but its an important part of fostering healthy sleep habits.
Dont eat right before bedtime. Nobody likes to go to bed hungry, but if its possible, finish eating several hours before you plan on going to sleep.
Finally, if youve done all these things and still cant get a good nights sleep, dont fret. It happens to the best of us. And were ladies. Thats why we have make-up.
Get More Sunshine
It might not be possible to get ityear-round, but when it is available, 20 minutes of direct sunlight per day are the doctors orders. Yes, we know you have heard all the bad things about sun exposure. But there are lots of good reasons to let the sun shine in, in moderation. Aside from its link to longevity, heres why:
It increases the circulation of the blood.
It stimulates the production of more red blood cells, increasing the oxygen content of the blood, and thus increasing muscular endurance.
It increases liver function and stimulates the liver to produce a drug-metabolizing enzyme. This increases one's ability to withstand pollutants in the environment.
