Getting good sleep may be one of the most important factors in happiness, health and hanging on to those youthful good looks that you have. If only if it were as easy as it is for a cat.
Living in an apartment gives you an opportunity to get better sleep than any other living situation. It's much comfier than a cardboard box and it's your own place, so Mom doesn't come screaming about breakfast when you are trying to sleep. Most importantly you don't have to lose sleep about the money that you are spending on repairs and maintenance to a home you own - all you have to do is call the leasing office to take care of those headaches.
Even though most apartment residents are already getting a good night's rest most of the time, there are a few additional things that can help you sleep even more soundly at night in your apartment.
Turn down the fan and sleep on your side- Sometimes trouble sleeping can be applied to the actual way you're sleeping. Many times if you sleep on your back your mouth has a tendency to hang open, which in-turn causes wake-ups with a dry sore throat and sadly...loud snoring that can wake you or your significant other as you breath from your mouth. Try intentionally laying on your side or stomach as you fall asleep and see if it makes a difference. Turning down your fan when you are down for the count may also help you get better Zzzz's. A fan on blast will certainly circulate the air, but it can also stir up dry air, late night cedar fever and more SNORING.
Rest Your Mind- Ever been laying in bed and can't stop thinking about something that has you tossing and turning for hours? Of course you have. You should practice what is called "thought stopping." As the thought creeps into your head, tell yourself to "STOP." If it creeps back, do it again. The word Stop! forces an immediate shifting of our attention, which will lead us away from preoccupying thoughts. Worrying about having to be asleep will only cause anxiety and keep you awake. Try and relax your mind and sleep will soon follow.
Sleep Items- From aromatherapy aides like a Lavender Pillow Mist to relaxing sounds or music to a warming blanket, there are a number of items available that can help you sleep more comfortably. The important thing is to try a few and see what works.
My friend's Granny used to always have a hot toddy before sleep. His Grandpa had a shot of whiskey. Neither one of them ever had sleeping problems. I would hate to know the long lasting effect it had on their livers though, so if you use that therapy, make sure it's a last resort.
Get some rest!
