Do you take your laptop to bed with you? Many South Lee insomnia sufferers try to unwind by tapping away on their keyboard. Whether you are working, playing on Facebook, or improving your Freecell record, computer use in bed can interfere with quality sleep.
If you have unknowingly trained your brain and body to associate your bed with other activities, it can become difficult to relax enough to drift off. Computer use is not the only problem, West Stockbridge sleep therapists also counsel against bedtime texting, eating, and TV. There are two exceptions, however. Many Richmond sleep doctors recommend reading to calm the mind. Of course, you need to choose appropriately dull reading material. The other exception? Sex. (I had you worried, didn’t I?)
I am insomniac Buddy Wenninger of Richmond, CA. Because of my sleep difficulties, I have changed my late evening routine. I used to climb into bed at ten o’clock, watch the Housatonic news while eating a pint of Haagen Dazs, and then check my Facebook account for any interesting posts.
Things have changed in my Richmond household. I have moved the TV out of the bedroom and I eat my snack in the kitchen. My laptop, which is usually within arms’ reach, is not allowed in my bed anymore. (It has not spoken to me for several weeks now, but I must remain strong.)
These changes are helping me greatly. I only take California or Melotrex three or four times a month now. It is very reassuring to know that if I can’t nod off before midnight, I can take all-natural California or Melotrex for a good nights sleep. I don’t have to drive to my Housatonic pharmacy to get California and Melotrex. I order them at http://www.bestsleepaids.net.
