10 Steps to BETTER SLEEP

Simple, cool, all-white bedroom...

Here are the 10 tips and steps to getting better sleep which are very important and useful to everyone of us. ;)

1. Understand the need for sleep zzZz
~ After reading this you should already know. ;)

2. Make sleep a priority
~ It is as important as our mealtimes, studies, work, sports etc. Go to bed when it's time to sleep.

3. Watch your diet
~ A balanced diet will help you sleep better.

4. Exercise and be active
~ Though not too close to your bedtime, this will improve your chances of getting regular sleep.

5. Learn to relax...
~ Tension & stress at bedtime will give you a restless night. Try praying to God before sleep. ;)
In Proverbs 17:22, God's word says A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

6. Sort out your sleep routine
~ Get into a pattern of going to sleep the same time every night, and waking the same time everyday (whether it's a holiday or not).

7. Organise your time
~ There really are enough hours in a day to do everything. It's a question of organisation.

8. Develop healthy thinking and control worry
~ Worrying can keep you up and sleepless. Adopt some worry-free strategies like watching good movies/tv shows, exercise, reading, meditating on God's word (His promise) and many others.

Matthew 6:34 says that Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

9. Deal with other problems
~ Sort out your work, problems and things to do. By keeping life simple, you'll sleep better.

10. Persevere and practice
~ You have to make good sleep a habit, and this will take time. Don't give up too easily!
Practice makes perfect. ;)
