While we are at it, allow me to ask you: How many hours to you get each night on average? To be honest. Personally, this blogging time has occupied my time a great deal that I often deprive myself of sleep in favor of going online.

Contemplative of my own sleeping issues, thus the barrage of posts on sleep. I am not an insomniac. I get sleep when I want to, but it is the discipline that I have got to gain to stop the inevitable of getting all my sleep deprivation takes its toll on my poor skin and eventually get these fine lines leather looking earlier than its due.

How about you, have you devised a system wherein you could actually stop yourself from blogging and hit the sack in a particular time of the night? Care to share?
Here are the things sleep does to our body: restores, repairs and recharges. This is evident when we get enough hours of sleep in a day. Truth to tell, if we observe ourselves at all, there is a difference in our overall mood and well being when we get enough sleep and when we don’t.

A sleepless night or a restless one, can affect your health big time and it shows more obviously in the quality of our skin. This is why most people who are prone to acne and pimples get breakouts when they don’t get enough sleep.

It has been said over and over again how beneficial sleep is. That a person should at least get eight hours of sleep per day to be healthy. Being healthy is the primary goal, but the bonus is enough sleep delays aging a great deal. It reduces the incidence of puffy eyes, for one.

Here are a few tips to a good night’s sleep:

1. Leisurely bathe in a medium hot bath. Mix a few drops of lavender oil and inhale the soothng fragrance.

2. Drink a glass of warm non-fat milk or eat a banana.

3. Read a good book in bed.

4. When you feel sleepy, make sure you sleep on your side. Not on your back or on your tummy.

5. Condition yourself that you will sleep well and have sweet dreams.
