Sleep
is something everyone needs to be at their best every day. Often, we do not get
enough of it for several reasons. Health Briefs TV shares advice on how to get
more sleep.
The
thoughts that run through our minds every night as we try to fall asleep can
keep us awake for hours on end. Sleep deprivation can then occur. Lack of a
sound sleep can result in errors made at work, vehicle accidents and worse.
What’s keeping us up all night? Financial worries are the first and foremost
reason we cannot get enough shut eye. More than two-thirds of Americans report
worrying about one or more money problems such as lack of retirement savings,
healthcare/insurance bills or mortgage/rent. Creditcards.com, a financial comparison
website, recently conducted a survey and learned that fretting about lack of
funds saved for retirement and credit card debt are foremost on our minds as we
hit the sack.
So
how can we get needed rest every night with these troubling thoughts running
wild in our minds?
- Turn off all digital devices
or leave them in another room when going to bed.
- Don’t watch TV an hour
before bedtime.
- If financial worries arise,
write them down on paper with a possible solution.
- Avoid drinking alcohol before
bed also. It may be make us sleepier, but it can also escalate thoughts of
despair.
Health Briefs TV encourages readers to banish unpleasant and worrisome thoughts before
bed. Find the best way to get the most sleep every night.
