No Sleep-Sleep Help and Sleep Creativity (pt.2)

Hello again everyone!

If you have read part 1 that's great...really I mean it...its best to absorb all of the parts to this segment so your armed with tips and tricks that helped me when I had issues with insomnia...and to recap a little about me yes..yes I did do the testing where you sleep in the hospital with machines hooked up to you to monitor your sleep pattern.

Lets get into it!!

However without further adew here are more tips to practice, along with a 1 week challenge!!

Questions to ask yourself- do I smoke? Do I drink tea, coffee or any other stimulate in the P.M? If you answered yes to 1 or all of those you should think of what time you do "these things at" and when you go to bed? Now after reading part 1 did you start a routine for what time you go to bed and wake up? If so you should practice no caffeine after supper and no smoking an hour before bed...i know it's hard I smoke to but it helps, trust me.

Because these are all stimulate we, as hard as it is need to limit our intake and try to build that "last smoke of the night" to an hour before bed no later!!!

AVOID AFTERNOON NAPS AT ALL COSTS!

Are you someone who likes to be warm at night? In part one we covered being cool at night...seems to be common people like the window open a crack or a fan On? If you do like being warm a test that was conducted by scientists was to sleep with your socks when you go to sleep...to me this is just strange lol...however alot of good comes with it!! Believe it or not warm feet makes your body feel warm..if your feet are cold think...your body feels cold right?...so it's the same thing but the opposite of cold and it improves circulation when your at rest!! Yep...strange huh?

Do you exercise? If you do great if you don't, that's ok just try to go for small walks after dinner or when you check the mail or walk the dog a bit further...you don't need to run a marathon either...trust me...i didn't nor would I want to!...but the extra excersize is great for circulation which ACTUALLY helps you when your at rest. The extra work also helps you feel a bit more tired at days end..yep it does...

When your in bed and can't fall asleep what are you trying to Do? Weird question? Well think of it like this...if you answered...well I'm trying to sleep...or...trying so hard to fall asleep because I can't...STOP!..your actually doing the wrong thing and you need to do the opposite, I'm sure you've heard of reverse psychology? It works on people, kids, pets, so why can't it work on us. Tell your self and try to make yourself stay awake and you can really surprise yourself and find yourself looking at the inside of your eyelids...true story...makes sense doesn't it?

I know I said in part 1 that you should do this but I can stress enough the eating and smoking! Nicotine is a stimulate and going to bed right after one is not good no matter how much you enjoy it limit it to 1 hour before you go to bed, no later. As for eating try not to go to bed hungry or overly stuffed because your mind will be focusing on that!

So remember how I said 1 week challenge?

The one week challenge is to do the excersize and build your routine...what we mean about routine is to have a set time 6 days a week that you go to bed and a set time for when you wake up, limit your "last smoke of the night" to no more than one hour before sleep, and when your struggling to sleep and trying to force yourself to sleep do the opposite, try and force yourself to stay awake and watch your eyes close!!

You deserve that great refreshed sleep feeling in the morning and together we will figure this out. We are a team and will work together to get it sorted out.

When you try the one week challenge place a comment in the comment section let us know when you start and finish and how it worked out for you!

To recap, we talked about no smoking right before to bed, give yourself 1 hour. We talked about just a bit more excersize whether it's a walk around the block, longer walk with the dog or a little bit further when you grab the mail or after dinner!! We also talked about the reverse psychology when trying to sleep do the opposite and try to stay awake!!

We will get you sleeping again one way or another!! Watch for part 3 everyone we will get it to you as soon as possible so don't forget to subscribe and follow so you get all the updates!!!
