Lack of sleep

Just like a forgetful boyfriend/girlfriend or the cable repairman , Mr. Sandman might not appear when he is expected or needed.

You really ought to be asleep by 11 pm at the latest and he won’t show until, early the next morning, maybe just before it’s time to get up . You might even not sleep at all . And, just like those inconsiderate people mentioned above , he might come later when you need to be at work, just begging for a little bit of your attention .

When you have to deal with lack of sleep , you know you might have a problem .

If you are being troubled by sleep disorders, including insomnia, it is time to start to think of how to cure insomnia , starting with natural sleep remedies .

Before having that stiff night cap , try elementary things first.

And don’t reach for an over the counter sleeping aid or call the doctor for a sleeping pill. Sometimes the easiest and most obvious suggestions are safer .

Here are three very basic methods to begin start) with:

Darkness Is King!

First, make sure that your room is at the right temperature and is dark enough . I once knew a lady who had trouble sleeping and really restless nights, until one night her alarm clock got unplugged by accident. She slept like a baby that night!

The alarm clock, with its bright digital numbers , was disturbing her sleep and she did not even realize it. Investigate all possible sources of light if you suspect that is one reason .

Be cool!

The bedroom should be cool, but not cold - you might need a cover, but not a parka and mittens. Again, some people are more sensitive to temperature than others. For instance, some people cannot sleep at all, if their feet are cold.
(I can’t, socks are necessary in when the floor feels cold !)

Silence Is Golden!

Also, make sure that your bedroom is quiet : dogs barking, the dripping faucet that the repairman claimed to have fixed, anything that might be bothersome enough, disrupting your sleep .

If any kind of noise is disrupting your sleep, consider earplugs or a white noise machine. Even a fan will drown some of these irritating noises out and will circulate the air in the room as well .
