Picture this: It's 5:27 PM. You're hungry after a busy day atwork, itching to get home to see your family, and now you'restuck in traffic. Frustration sets in. But you're used to itsince this is an every day occurrence.
So you finally stroll into your house at 6:04 PM, your 2 youngchildren are clamoring for your attention, and they're hungrytoo. You pop some frozen dinners in the microwave knowing fullwell they're not healthy, but also knowing that you just don'thave time to think, much less cook. After a quick dinnerconsisting of Salisbury Steak you're day's not even close toover.
Now it's time to do laundry, read with the kids, and of coursea day's work left over from the office. When do you have timeto rest? At night you keep telling yourself.
But every night it's the same old story. You flop into bed past1 AM and close your eyes. Your mind is still racing from the daythat just passed and the busy day ahead. So you toss and turn,hoping that you'll be able to get at least a little shut-eyebefore your 6:00 AM wake up call (an annoyingly loud alarmclock you've had for 15 years).
And the next day it starts all over again. You're tired atwork, you don't have time to eat, you're stressed, and youcan't get out of the vicious cycle.
So what do you do?
First thing's first: take a deep breath. You're probablystressed out just reading this far.
To sleep better tonight do the following: 1) Get a notebook and take 5 minutes right before laying downto free write. What you want to do is get every thought fromthe past, present, and future out of your head and on paperwhere it's safe and secure. This will free the clutter fromyour head and allow you to rest easier.
2) Get a new alarm clock that wakes you up gradually withclassical music. This will do absolute wonders for your morningroutine. What you want to do is set the alarm to go off 15-20minutes earlier than you usually wake up. It will turn on veryquietly and slowly bring you out of your slumber. 3) Add a few very healthy snacks to your daily routine. One ofmy favorites is a 2 oz pre-packaged bag of baby carrots. Theytaste good, they're good for you, and they take no prep-time.When you're hungry at work or on the way home, munch on these.Another great snack is raw almonds. Eating healthier works amazingly well to help you sleep better.
