So You’re Still Awake…
Good evening everyone. Mike Smith here again and I would like to take some time and discuss a very important issue that affects over three quarters of our popluation. That is lack of sleep. I once wrote an article on this very subject that has been very popular on the search engines and blogs. You can read it here,
The truth is there are very simple things that we can all do to start sleeping better tonight. For example I got rid of my bedroom TV. It seems when I was younger I could go to sleep watching “the box” but lately it just keeps me up. I once read a Men’s Health article that the lights and noise keep your sensory glands heightened therefore never letting your body begin to rest. What’s your take on this?
If this link between TV and lack of sleep intrigues you I encourage you to check out http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-477733/Sleepy-Spend-time-internet-watching-TV-say-scientists.html for a great article on this very subject.
There are also some great sleep tips at http://www.wikihow.com/Fall-Asleep.
I encourage everyone to participate in this discussion. I believe we can all learn from each other.
Mike
I also seem to think watching TV will put me to sleep and then find that I am up several hours later!! Thank you for the link to your article. It had a lot of good points in it that I will start to add to the bedtime routine!
Great article Mike. I’ll definitely be posting some of your tips on my blog.
In regards to TV/Net… I can’t fall asleep from TV or net surfing. The best thing i find to do before sleep is either read something extremely mind numbing (some dry physics textbook for example) or listen to mellow music (Jack Johnson – Constellations is a terrific song).
Being in darkness is what makes me the most sleepy.
Thanks, I’ll be sure to check out that Jack Johnson song. As for the physics textbooks I lost a lot of sleep over physics class in college. LOL.
