]]>That is the reality for some though. Insomnia hits the best of us, leaving us staring at the clock until the early hours, hoping for sleep to take over…
If what we described sounds familiar, we have a technique that can help. Straight out of the army, this is a method employed by military personnel who need to fall asleep fast as they don’t always have much time in dreamland.
First things first: get into a comfortable position. A good idea is to lie on your back and imagine that you are in a field, staring up at the sky; or in a canoe on still water. If your mind begins to wander, repeat the phrase “don’t think” for 10 seconds.
Begin to relax your body by focusing on your breath. Start with your forehead and face, releasing all tension as you work your way down through each part of your body.
As you move from the top of your head down, imagine a warm sensation traveling throughout your body. Let it move to your chest, down your arms, and all the way to the tips of your fingers.
Inhale deeply and bring your awareness to the center of your chest. From there, allow the warmth to make its way to your stomach, thighs, legs, feet, and toes.

]]>But when it comes to getting enough sleep, are we getting too obsessed with it? Is it really necessary to sleep as much as we can and can sleeping too much have the opposite effect of what we want?
The optimal amount of sleep for adults is seven to nine hours per night. Just like the lack of sleep can lead to various physical and mental health problems, similar can happen if you sleep too much. Sleeping for 10 or more hours every day will actually leave you feeling tired, anxious, and forgetful.
Does this mean that you need to stress about the exact amount of sleep you’re getting every night? Not really. You probably have a wake-up schedule already, depending on your daily activities, so all you need to do is adjust the time you go to bed in the evening. Give your body enough time to rest and enjoy the benefits of proper sleep.

]]>Walnuts are packed with tryptophan, an amino acid that helps our body produce “sleep hormones” serotonin and melatonin. If you have trouble falling asleep, a handful of walnuts can help you solve this problem.

]]>When working to transform yourself into a morning person, you may begin to set earlier alarms. You will likely press snooze on these alarms and try to go back to sleep.
Snooze settings were added to alarms in order to allow the person to get a few extra minutes of sleep without actually entering into a deep sleep cycle. But as we night owls surely understand, a few extra minutes can quickly turn into an hour.
Certain apps are known as “smart alarms” and force you to solve a math problem before turning off the alarm, which awakens your brain and gets you ready for the day so you aren’t tempted to get some more Z’s. The simple math problem gets you out of the drowsy sleep state so you can make a clear decision on if it’s worth it to hit that snooze button.

]]>There is a lot of research to show that our bodies do not like waking up to alarms. The sound is unpleasant and actually really stressful for our bodies, which is not a good way to start the day. So, by setting your alarm for 5 minutes before you normally get up, you will save your body the shock and have 5 extra minutes to do things before you go to work or school. Here are the best ways to spend those 5 minutes.
Drinking water as soon as you wake up will actually help you feel more awake because it will rehydrate your body, which has been dehydrated all night.
Exercise in the morning has been shown to improve mental abilities all day all long, which is exactly what you need to be happier and more productive. Exercise also released endorphins which makes your body feel better and more awake.

Retinoids are the only FDA approved anti-wrinkle treatment. In other words, don’t think twice before investing in a quality retinoid product. Retinol items are a bit less powerful compared to the retinoid, but they still work wonders.

Never, ever leave the house without sunscreen on. Get a product with a high SPF that will maximally protect your skin. Don’t only apply it to the body. The face should be protected at all times.
No more sleeping on the side if you want to get rid of the wrinkles. Make it a habit to sleep on the back. You should use a silk pillow instead of a cotton one.
