SLEEP

This is the third in a series on sleep (Click here for issues 94 and 95).  Here are the four tips for peaceful sleep.

  1. EXERCISE:  Rigorous exercise (earlier in the day) relieves stress and causes the body to sleep.
  2. SLEEP ENVIRONMENT:  A cool, quiet, uncluttered and dark room.
  3. MEDITATION:  Dr. Orloff, professor of Psychiatry at U of Cal at LA, recommends a peaceful visual meditaiton before going to sleep by focusing on something very positive for you, such as a waterfall, rain, flowers, or the picture of someone you love.  Then breathe and relax.
  4. THIRTY GOLDEN MINUTES Click here for issue 82 - "Thirty Golden Minutes."  There's gold in that issue.
EXERCISE
I invite you to review these tips, and if appropriate, adopt one of these that might apply.

"There is plenty of compelling evidence that sleep is the most important predictor on how long you will live.  Perhaps it is more important than whether you smoke, exercise or have high blood pressure or cholesterol levels."
