Sleep Better Without Drugs.
2010, I had no idea I was only living half a life. Thinking back now, I can see I was going through the motions. I had no energy, no creativity and was unable to see my way through with any positivity. I needed better sleep.Fast forward and now I consider myself a “Sleep Evangelist”!
These scientists have gone to great lengths to fully understand sleep’s benefits. In studies of humans and other animals, they have discovered that sleep plays a critical role in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and other vital functions.
So are you sleeping? Do you lie awake, mind racing, unable to relax? Would you prefer to drop off to sleep easily and not wake up until morning? Would you like to know how different it feels?
If you do, here are my 5 steps to better sleep
#1 Talk to your GP
Sleep is obviously a personal thing. It’s up to you what you try. In the beginning my GP did give me a small supply to help me get a solid sleep but after taking one or two, I decided that I would stick to other methods that, as it turned out, were more effective and longer lasting.
#2 Listen to your GP
The best advice my doctor gave me at the same time was to look up Dr David Morawetz, a Melbourne based sleep specialist. And I listened. I read his book and listened to his audio program. It was amazing. His information addressed all my excuses and habits as well as giving me a step by step guide to follow.
#3 Be disciplined
Get up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time every night. Cut out alcohol, tea and coffee after your evening meal. Your body will work for you if you stick to what you know is true.
#4 Keep your bed for sleeping
No devices or eating in bed and no television in the bedroom. You need to train your brain to know that when you to to your room and go to bed that sleeping is the only option.
#5 Believe
