Slumber

Did not get much of this Thursday night. Either ate to much or was t would up. Found this article that should be of help to me and other with the same problem from the staff writer Liz Noelcke.
Go for a soak--the bathtub soothes the body and the mind. Put on some music, lite a candle, add a drop of oils.
Drink it up--Glass of warm milk that is. This is not an old wives tale. Can even drop some vanilla extract. Not appealing? try chamomile tea.
Activity--Try some light reading, watch a boring TV program, sew scrapbook (but in BED). Once you get sleepy hit the sack.
De-stress--The worst thing one can do in bed is SIT. Worrying about not sleeping will not help. Try making a to do list and then leave the thoughts.
Add some noise?--these sounds are called WHITE noises. They will keep the other noises from keeping you awake. Gentle rain, waterfalls, wind noises.
Listen to your body--Try a relaxation video to relax your tension. UNWIND technique, starting at your toes sand move on up.
Last but certainly not least--EXERCISE and consistent nutrition are directly linked to improve sleep. BE aware that exercising just before bed time is not recommended.
Make a routine around the same time every night and stick to i t. Teach your body the signals that will mean it it time for sleepy time.
