5 Sleepy Tips to Wind-Down Before Bed for Your Best Sleep Yet


A good night’s sleep makes a world of difference, but it’s something a lot of people struggle with.
Maybe you toss and turn throughout the night. Perhaps you get up every few hours to use the washroom. Maybe it’s difficult to fall asleep in the first place. You lie there hoping you fall into a deep slumber soon before you inevitably have to get up for another day.

Or perhaps you just generally want to improve your sleep habits, since you know how important sleep is.

Sleep allows time for our bodies to reset. It’s a time where memories are processed and stored, and a time for repair of the body’s cells.

Surprisingly, after about 17-19 hours without sleep, your mind begins to function similar to that of a drunk person (yeah, we’re not even kidding). Your decision making, problem-solving, reaction, and other cognitive skills become hindered.

Thus, by improving your sleep, you can improve your overall health and life. After all, your decisions and choices guide your path and your journey. So how can you sleep better? What are some sleep tips to help you get your best sleep yet? We’ve got 5 – keep on reading!

If you really must indulge in a little screen time during this part of the night, try out blue blocking amber glasses. These help your eyes relax and help make you sleepy by limiting the intensity of the light on your eyes. You could even implement this about 3-4 hours leading up to your bedtime if you want to go all in.

1. Dim the Light and Limit Screen Time 1-2 Hours Before Bed
Then, for the 1-2 hours right before bed, participate in more relaxing activities, without the involvement of a screen. You could read a book, play a relaxing game, meditate, or journal. Find something that quiets your mind and requires little attention or alertness so you can easily ease into sleep.

Lie in bed, on a mat, or sit in a chair. Do a quick body scan and slowly relax each part of your body. Allow tension to leave your body. You could even participate in a quick stretch session or yoga session to, again, gently ease you into sleep.

2. Start a Mindfulness Exercise Before Sleep
Not sure what to do? Try this: Lie face up on a comfortable surface, like your bed. Find a comfortable position – one that you can hold for about 5-10 minutes without thinking too hard about. Slowly relax your head onto the surface or ground.

Trump, in Japan, says Tokyo has ‘substantial’ trade advantage over US

President Trump on Saturday started his four-day visit to Japan by declaring that Tokyo has a “substantial” trade advantage over the U.S. — and that he hopes a future trade agreement will rebalance the situation. Trump, speaking to businessmen at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, hailed the U.S.-Japanese relationship. He said that the countries are “working together to promote mutually beneficial investment.” and that they are working on a bilateral trade deal. JAPAN WELCOMES TRUMP WITH A CHARM CAMPAIGN, GOLF AND SUMO “I would say that Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years but that’s OK,” he said. “Maybe that’s why you like me so much. “But we’ll get it a little bit more fair,” he added. “I think we’ll do that.” Trump has made rebalancing trading relationships, particularly with China and the European Union, a priority of his administration. He has threatened Japan with tariffs on automobiles and auto parts if Japan does not give ground to the U.S. ...

Aerial photos help census officials pinpoint faraway people

Technology News : The U.S. Census Bureau is using new high-tech tools to help get an accurate population count next year as its faces challenges tallying people of color who live in remote places and can be wary of the federal government.The agency is using aerial photos of rural communities and hard-to-reach areas to verify addresses and determine where to send workers to ensure everyone is counted, Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham said. Satellites and planes take photos, and bureau employees compare the housing captured in the images to digital maps from the last census, in 2010. It takes a fraction of the time needed by workers in the field. The agency has used geographic technology since 1990 but has never had access to such accurate tools from the air, said Deirdre Dalpiaz Bishop, head of the bureau’s geography division. That technology — known as geographic information system, or GIS — uses computers to analyze neighborhoods, land formations, rivers and oth...

Snakebites: Like having my hand smashed by a hammer’

David Williams has been bitten by a snake six times. “The first time was pretty terrifying because I didn’t know what to expect. It felt like having my hand smashed with a hammer,” he says. “My last snakebite would have been a fatal one, but for the fact we were carrying an emergency medical kit so we could do something about it.” Dr Williams, an expert on snakebites at the World Health Organization (WHO) – who travels the world collecting snake venoms to help develop new treatments – says most victims “don’t have that life-saving luxury”. The WHO calls snakebites “arguably the world’s biggest hidden health crisis”, with one person dying from a bite every four minutes. Hundreds of thousands of others are left seriously disfigured, with many needing amputations. Snakebites mainly affect people living in some of the poorest communities in the poorest parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Farmers risk their lives and livelihoods every day while simply tending to...
