Sleep Advice

For those who find trouble sleeping at night, this is a few sleep advice from my doctor:

1.Avoid caffeine within 6 hours of bedtime.
2.Avoid alcohol and smoking 1 to 2 hours before bedtime.
3.Exercise regularly. Get vigorous exercise in the late afternoon. However, strenuous exercise before sleep may actually impair your ability to sleep.
4.Don't nap.
5.Establish relaxing presleep rituals, like a warm bath or a few minutes of reading.
6.Go to bed only when you are sleep, and use your bed for sleeping only, not as an office or a place to watch TV.
7.Get up about the same time everyday, regardless of when you fall asleep.
8.If you are a bedtime "worrier", dedicate another time - perhaps 30 minutes after dinner to writing down problems and possible solutions.
9.If you cannot sleep, don't stay in bed fretting. After 10 or 15 minutes, go to another room and read or watch television until you feel sleepy.

By the way... just want to wish a happy birthday for my roomie, Yimmy....

True friendship is a blessing that dwells deep within the heart.
We don't know how it happens or where it gets its start.
But the happiness it brings you always seems to give a lift.
And you realize that true friendship... is a most precious gift.

May you have a blessed and special birthday ^_^.
