How does your sleep affect you?

This webpage was designed just for you!  Lord knows I have just a short time to keep  your attention, so I'll keep most of this information quick and to the point.

• You are SLEEP DEPRIVED...
• Yes you are!
• The truth is, if we placed you in a basement without clocks, access to time and you did not know when is was dawn, dusk, daylight or night you would sleep for 14-16 hours daily for about three weeks.
• That is called paying off your sleep DEBT!
• You owe about 350 hours to yourself, because it keeps building year after year...just like the national debt!
• Disturbed sleep robs you of tissue repair and regeneration, proper hormonal production, natural circadian rhythm, and much more.
• Now take the next 60 seconds to determine why you are not sleeping.
• What part of your body has trouble slowing down? And shutting off?
• Is it your mind/brain, arm/leg activity, body discomfort, nasal passages (snoring), anxiety(nervous system), prostate(urinary), hot flashes/menopause, teeth grinding.
• You probably have more than one area above bothering you.

• Go to bed and get out of bed about the same time each day.
• Yes, this means weekends too!
• Make your room as dark as possible, by keeping the light out.
• Turn the air conditioning down.
• Allow yourself to move around and try new sleeping positions.
• Drink your daily fluids before 7pm.
• Use sleep aids as a very last resort.
• Return to "Grandma's advice" for better sleep...warm glass of milk, reading relaxing up-lifting material before bed, minimal eating after 8pm.
• Go to bed with a clear conscience, forgive or forget as best you can.
• Turn off the TV/Internet 1hour before bed.
• A short, slow relaxing walk at dusk.
• Take in natural sunlight during the day, this stimulates your day/night rhythm.
• Cherry Juice twice daily may help.
• Earplugs or eyemasks, if you can get used to them may also do the trick.
