I was reading and article in Web MD about sleep disorders


According to that article the most important thing you can do is prepare to go to sleep throughout the day and have a positive attitude toward sleep - some people have resistance to going to bed - take my 6 year old " she hates to go to sleep" too scared she might miss something!

My son on the otherhand will go to sleep right on time - even in other people's houses.

More tips on going to sleep include
- Set clear boundaries to sleeping - and dont bring work to bed
- Do not procrastinate important things - like filing for Taxes before april 13th LOL
- Do not have a computer or television in your bed room
- Have a bed time routine - even reading to your kids is a routine for you to unwind
- Get proper excerise in the day
- Have a comfortable sleep environment - no clutter in your room, have a great bed
- NO Caffeine in the afternoon

I think those are great tips and if we can at least adopt one habit per week and try to keep it up we might see an improvement in our sleep habits dont you think?
