Sleep Like A Baby

[Shasta542]

Follow these tips to help ensure that your time between the sheets leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed:

Make breakfast your heaviest meal of the day.

Digesting food takes energy, so if you eat a heavy meal late in the day, your body will have to work hard to digest it while you're trying to go to sleep. Many people sleep better if they have protein at breakfast and lunch, and a light dinner with some carbohydrates.

Cut back on the sleep robbers.

Cut out caffeine after 2 p.m., and refrain from drinking alcohol within three hours of bedtime. You may become drowsy after a couple of glasses of wine, but too much alcohol will make you wake up frequently during the night. In addition, although coffee is the most obvious source of caffeine, don't forget that there's also caffeine in colas, chocolate, tea, and some medications.

Thank you!  You probably have little trouble sleeping, tho---up in that Rocky Mt. high with the moon streaming in through the windows over your
bed!  
But just in case.....

No, I don't have sleep trouble. Sometimes I do wake up in the nite all sweaty due to the "time of life" I'm in, but since my house is so cold enniway, I just throw off the blankets (particularly my Yellowstone blanket) and I'm fine. I do have a lot of friends who complain about not being able to sleep, so these tips are helpful. If people minded these things, the roads would be safer, too!
