How to Sleep Restfully.**** ASHKAVAND

If you're having trouble sleeping, change your sleep habits for a better night's rest.
According to the Mayo Clinic, there are some simple, basic steps you can take toward
getting the soothing, revitalizing sleep you need. Here are some highlights...
Avoid nicotine, caffeine and alcohol in the evening. These are stimulants that can keep you awake. Smokers often experience withdrawal symptoms at night, and smoking in bed is dangerous. Avoid caffeine for eight hours before your planned bedtime. Your body doesn't store caffeine, but it takes many hours to eliminate the stimulant and its effects. And although often believed to be a sedative, alcohol actually disrupts sleep.

Exercise regularly. Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, can help you fall asleep faster and make your sleep more restful. Don't exercise within three hours of your bedtime, however. Exercising right before bed may make getting to sleep more difficult.

Make your bedroom cool, dark, quiet and comfortable. Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Adjust the lighting, temperature, humidity and noise level to your preferences. Use blackout curtains, eye covers, earplugs, extra blankets, a fan, a humidifier or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.

Start a relaxing bedtime routine. Do the same things each night to tell your body it's time to wind down. This may include taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, or listening to soothing music. Relaxing activities done with lowered lights can help ease the transition between wakefulness and sleepiness.

Go to bed when you're tired and turn out the lights. If you don't fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes, get up and do something else. Go back to bed when you're tired. Don't agonize over falling asleep. The stress will only prevent sleep.

If you're having problems sleeping more than three times a week on a basis or over an extended period of time, see your doctor. You could have a medical sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea. Identifying and treating the cause of your sleep disturbance can help get you back on track for a night of revitalizing and soothing sleep.








When You Need A New Mattress.


The easiest way to determine the need for a new mattress is to judge your current sleep. If you toss and turn, wake up in the middle of the night, or wake up with a sore back, your mattress needs replacing. Any spring mattress over 8 years old should also be replaced. Good sleep is one of the most important factors in your quality of life. Don't compromise your sleep with a bad mattress. If you want to enjoy the newest technologies in mattress types and construction. You may want to consider a memory foam mattress. This is the mattress that is associated with NASA technology and development. It's also a mattress that's been credited with providing many health benefits... first and foremost... being a soothing, revitalizing night of restful sleep.
