3 Tips To Sleep Better.

While some individuals have no trouble going asleep at night, others find it difficult. Those who suffer from chronic insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep sometimes may benefit from the following exercise.

Yoga Nidra
Most people already know that yoga and meditation promote serenity and awareness, but many are unaware that they can also encourage a healthy sleep pattern. Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a type of guided meditation that is done while laying still in savasana or similar comfortable reclined position.

Revamp Your Bed
Research proves sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too firm can lead to muscular discomfort, causing wakefulness during the night. Using an old pillow or one that is the wrong firmness or shape for your preferred sleep position can have a similar effect. If you find that you cannot get comfortable in your bed or wake up often throughout the night, replacing your pillow or mattress could help.

Clean Your Bedroom
Because there is a link between a crowded bedroom and a cluttered mind, it stands to reason that sleeping in a tidy bedroom can enhance sleep and minimize racing thoughts. Organizing and tidying your room can help you relax at the end of the day to snuggle into a beautifully made bed.

SCAMMERS

Danica from Massey

This male of Asian ethnicity claimed to be from “SPARK” my internet provider is the complete opposite, however after at least 3 minutes on the phone they must have figured they could
not get anything out of me and began with the sexual insults and believe me I did not hold my tongue.

Attached is a screenshot of the number that came up on my screen. Be careful there are some mentally disturbed scamming individuals out there who are willing to do just about anything to get a piece of your pie!!!!
