= = = = = = = = = =
Sleep patterns are regulated by the body’s internal system or clock often referred to as the circadian clock.
This internal system is responsible for regulating the following:
* Body Temperature
Chronic sleep loss can result in poor health and general malaise.
Nearly every person at one time or another has suffered from
insomnia or poor sleep.
Efficient sleepers know how to regulate their clocks to ensure
that they sleep soundly and efficiently every night.

* Routine that relaxes and prepares the body prior to sleep.
* Use of light therapy to rouse the body in the am and promote a sleep like state in the evening.
* Supplementing with natural products that help reduce anxiety and tension.
* Development and use of a strict sleep schedule that does not vary from week to week.
Let’s discuss each of these in a little more detail:
Routine – establishing a bedtime routine is key to setting your
body’s internal clock.
Why?
The fact of the matter is routines WORK.
They signal the body that the time has come to rest, and the body responds accordingly.
Light Therapy – are you one of the people that have difficulty rousing in the morning?
Simply by exposing your body to more natural light in the am and decreasing the intensity of light used in the evenings may help re-set your circadian clock and help you sleep more soundly.
Supplementation – there are many natural substances that can help induce a more sleep like state in the body and help regulate the body’s internal clock.
Some of the more popular include: melatonin, GABA, B vitamins, Kava.
Schedule – efficient sleepers know the importance of sticking with a sleep schedule. You can’t go to bed at a different time every night and expect to get a good night’s sleep.
You need to set up a schedule that seldom varies in order to set your body’s internal clock.
Setting your circadian clock is easy when you have the right tools and the right frame of reference.
You can get the sound
night’s sleep you’ve always dreamed of, with a little help and
practice.
