SLEEP HYGIENE.....................................

Sleeping is a vital exercise in our day to day life.............

Lifestyle: Work schedules and parties leave few hours for sleep.Illness,pain from injuries and sleep disorders can also disrupt one's sleep.

Stress: Worrying about that new job,safety of children or the exam in the morning? Instead of getting the sleep needed to face tomorrow's challenges,you toss and turn,sit up and pound your pillow,maybe even get up and pace the floor.

Noise: Sudden noises like a door slamming,a telephone ringing can jolt a sleeper into wakefulness.If the noise is constant and loud,move to another room.

Temperature: Research suggests that room temperature above 75 degree causes restlessness and affect mental and physical health.If you sleep with the air conditioner on,make sure it is set at a normal temperature.

Scents: Scented candles help us relax,but not to sleep.Using air spray,fresh flowers or scents in the bedroom is not advisable as the body cant handle them when we try to sleep.

Bed: The mattress should  be firm enough to give you support.

SLEEP HYGIENE IS AS IMPORTANT, IF NOT MORE, TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE..............
