Executive summary about mattresses by Dan Hammer

According to a recent National Sleep Foundation survey, 75% of women between the ages of 30 and 60 do not get eight hours of sleep. Getting a good night of deep, restful sleep is important. If you haven't gone the medication route to help with your sleep, then you might want to try the following steps to aid you in a good night's sleep. These are steps you can take to help you achieve your goal of a better night's sleep.

1. Your Partner!

Now, if it's your sleep partner who snores, tosses and turns, repeatedly gets up and goes to the bathroom, talks in their sleep or does all of the above, it might be a little hard to get them to sleep on the floor. Maybe there are more serious underlying sleep disorder problems for your partner that would require a sleep expert to help them get a handle on some of their sleep issues.

2. Turn Off The News!

Instead of taking the last 30 minutes of your day and adding to your stress by listening to news stories about all the violence in the world or how you're going to have to deal with weather problems for your morning commute or how your favorite team lost a big game in the final minutes, why not do something to help you relax.

3. Reestablish the Sleep Environment!

a. Get a new pillow! There are a lot of pillows to choose from so be willing to invest in a good pillow that supports your sleep comfort.

b. Reduce the light! Light also affects the way your brain produces the hormones that regulate your sleep cycle.

c. Adjust the room temperature! A room that is too hot will usually affect your sleep.

d. Move the clock! Not only can the light from the clock affect your sleep but if you're already anxious, staring at the time on your clock is not going to help.

4. Avoid the Following!

Some activities done too close to bedtime can interfere with sleep like:

a. Caffeine - Avoid caffeinated drinks and foods because they can delay your sleep as well as cause you to wake up in the night.

b. Exercise - This is not an excuse to stop exercising just avoid exercising within 3 hours of bedtime. Many people find exercising in the morning, afternoon and early evening helps them sleep better at night.

c. Alcohol - Avoid excessive alcohol since it can disrupt your normal sleep patterns during the second half of the night.

5. Try the Following Foods for a Good Night's Sleep!

The following foods can relax tense muscles, quiet your overly active mind, and provide your body with the sleep-inducing hormones serotonin and melatonin:

a. Bananas - Ever wonder why in the afternoon after you've eaten your banana, you have a hard time staying awake? People have labeled the banana the "sleeping pill in a peel."

b. Chamomile Tea - Warm chamomile tea provides a mild sedating effect to help calm a restless mind and body.

c. Warm Milk - Yes, mom was right about this. Just make it skim milk to save on fat calories.

I hope this information helps you like it has helped so many others.
