Combat Insomnia
The body needs adequate, restful healthy sleep to perform its best. Insomnia can cause mental fuzziness and interfere with how the body performs its regular activities. It also increases the risk of:- Depression
- Headaches
- Accidents

Sleep Suggestions
- Some light regular exercise before dinner time can help put the body in a restful state by bedtime. But do not exercise close to bedtime, as this can amp up the body creating restlessness.
- Get out into the sun as often as possible to stimulate melatonin release, which will help reset the circadian rhythm.
- Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi, whichever works and are great ways to help teach the mind and body to relax.
- Caffeine and smoking keep the body stimulated. Try to avoid them from mid-afternoon onward.
- Keep alcohol consumption to a minimum.
- Have a small snack of protein with a complex carbohydrate just before bed, like some peanut butter on a whole-grain cracker. This will keep the blood sugar from dropping too low, causing the body to wake up.
- Maintain a regular sleeping and waking schedule.
- Turn off the television or any type of electronic device screen an hour before bed, as it stimulates the brain, causing sleep difficulties.
- Keep the bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
- If lying awake for more than about 20 minutes, get up and sit in another dark/dimly lit room until sleepiness begins to come on.
