Rest / Sleep - A Good Tonic for Well-Being

There are many people who suffer from insomnia   
- they just can`t sleep. To some extent this is due
to the high-pressure, tension-ridden world, we
have to live in, for greater part of the inability to
sleep lies in mind.

The biggest enemies are mental unrest, worry,
fear and anger. If someone has a problem, financial,
an argument with someone, misunderstanding with
a loved one, loss of property or the like, then it is
probably that sleep will not be induced as the problem
is turned over in the mind during sleep time.

There are ways to help gain your precious sleep.
Read a little, or play soft music in a dim airy room,
they should help. You remember the lullaby of a
mother or rocking her baby to a nursery rhyme
are the oldest example of many soft music to induce
sleep. Many do cover themselves with too much
bed clothing for comfort.

The following additional ideas can help you have
a good sleep or rest.

# Try to cultivate a positive attitude towards sleep.
Think of it as an enjoyable and pleasant part of
the 24-hour cycle of your life - therefore it is a
necessity and a must. You need to revitalize
your physical and mental powers through sleep.


# Establish a regular pattern of decreasing activity
as the time for sleep approaches. A warm bath or
reading may be part of the ritual. Give yourself
enough time to unwind.


# Use your daily exercise to reduce nervous
tension.


# After you`re in bed reduce the tension in the
body.


# Don`t panic when you feel you`re about to to have
a poor night sleep. Most people sleep much more
than they think even on a poor night.


# Learn not to probe your problems during
bed time.


Think of pleasant things and you`ll soon fall asleep.
