5 Ways to Sleep Better
Five Ways to Sleep
Better Tonight
   Sleep seems to become more and more precious with each passing year. It's not surprising, given the number of responsibilities most of us juggle on
a daily basis. But if you're settling for less sleep, you're doing your health a major disservice. Poor sleep has been linked to everything from accidents
and falls to depression and heart disease. So don't live without the sleep your body craves.

 Are you ready for more restful sleep? Here are five quick and easy activities you can try tonight to help set yourself up for better sleep:

1.   Meditate.

Meditate for 10-15 minutes in the evening or right before bed. Your mind will be calm and you will be relaxed. What an amazing gift you can give to
yourself as a preliminary practice to sleep. You will fall to sleep quickly and wake up feeling very refreshed.

2.   Picture It
  
Where does your mind wander when you're trying to fall asleep? Research suggests that directing your thoughts toward positive, quiet places -- like a
warm, quiet, sun-dappled beach -- may help you fall asleep faster.

3.   Do It Write
‘
Take time every day to jot down your worries or note how you're feeling. People with insomnia who did this as part of a study fell asleep faster than
the people who wrote about their hobbies or didn't write at all. Writing may help you process some of the thoughts that are keeping you up at night.

4.   Tense Your Toes

Cold feet aren't a problem just for nervous brides or grooms. They can cause trouble for poor sleepers, too. Try this for boosting circulation -- and
warmth -- in your feet: toe flexing. To do this, lie on your back and close your eyes. Point your toes toward your head, hold for 5 seconds; curl your
toes under, hold for 5 seconds; relax. Repeat 10 times. If that doesn't do the trick, slip on a pair of warm socks.

5.   Breathe

Take a few deep breaths when you first lie down to sleep. Visualize all the tension and worries of the day going out through the bottom of your feet
and warm, restful feelings of sleep coming in the top of your head.
