Lite Mind Boost

Since starting college a few years back I have not been able to sleep. I toss and turn and wake up 500 times a night and have to get up at the crack of dawn because I just can not turn my mind off at night.

So when I found "How to sleep better" on Litemind's list I knew that this was the experement for me to try. The most helpful that I found was keeping a sleeping scheduale -- even on the weekends. This was easy because I have been hunting for the past few weekends and I found this to be true. I had a much easier time getting up all week because I had got down a sleeping schedual. My mind knew when it was time to go to bed and was tired and my mind knew when it was time to go to get up.

The next thing that the list told me to do was to be sure and not eat or drink before bed. I always drink a glass of water before I go to bed so I stopped doing this. I'm not sure if this helped or not but I gave it a try and I did sleep pretty good.

Then the next thing killed me. It said not to sleep on my stomach. But sleeping on my stomach is the only way that I sleep. But I did it and it also said that you need to keep your head and neck in line so having a pillow that didnt elevate your head too much is a must. I usally sleep with two pillows so I really foud that this did help. It also suggested to sleep with a pillow between your legs if you need too. I didnt try this.

The next step was to make sure that the room was very dark. This would explain why I can't take naps because I need the dark to fall asleep.

This list also suggested that you should turn your mattress every few months so I did this. But I decided that it would not matter what why you turn my mattress because that thing is so uncomfortable.

The greatest advise that the list gave was to exercise so that your body is tired and wants to rest. This is so ture because after a few days of hiking around all I wanted to do was sleep and oh how I slept so good.

So ya I would say that there are a lot of helpful things in this list to help you sleep better so that your mind is fresh he next day.
