People worry about the amount of sleep they lose from
not being able to get to sleep once they hit the bed and
that they do not having enough time to sleep because of
work, studying, or staying out late or staying up late.
This is a problem. Wondering, if you can make up sleep
for any of the reasons above, does not bode well for the
body getting what it needs.
A sensible rule is - bodies require regularity and a predictable
sleep regimen if the brain's circadian clock is
going to tick right. Losing sleep with the belief that
you can make it up at another time, hurts.
Here are some tips to help ensure that the time you are
in bed is restful and replenishes your body.
1. Determine if your bed and mattress is big enough for
you and a sleep partner, if this applies. If your bed
is too small a bed - then think about switching
to a larger one.
2. Determine if your bed and mattress are comfortable.
If you think your mattress is contributing to your sleep
problems go to a reputable bed and mattress shop and try
out different kinds of mattresses. Decide whether you
need a firm, medium firm, or soft mattress for comfort.
3. Determine whether your pillow(s) are comfortable enough.
There are pillows made of therapeutic shaped foam that
can support your neck.
