Too Busy to Sleep

Many of us lead very busy lives. I won’t list the things that could cause us to be so busy, however I will say that technology can help contribute to our lack of sleep.

There is so much information everywhere; twitter, facebook, LinkedIn, emails, etc. I ususally find myself in bed reading info and learning different things when I should be asleep.

Getting enough sleep is important, without it you are compromising your health. Here are a few tips for getting more restful sleep:

Maintain a regular sleep schedule…this includes weekends

Create a “sleep/rest” environment.  Don’t do daily activities in your bedroom.

Don’t eat before bedtime.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. Contrary to the last statement, a good glass of wine may be helpful in inducing a good restful sleep.

If you notice that you are tired all of the time, you may also want to check up with your doctor to rule out any possibility of any sleep related disorders.

Thanks for reading!
