Are you sleep deprived? by Judi Singleton

3.Do you get irratiable and frustration at coworkers or friends?

4.Do you have poor concentration?

Of course you may not have any serious sleep disorder, you may just be

suffering ordinary things like a new baby, a sick child, worry over

some stressor in your life, like lossing your job, or other worries.

These kinds of sleep deprivation usually go away in time.

If you think you might be sleep deprived there are some things you can

do.

Ask yourself how much sleep makes you feel really well.

Then set a goal to get that much sleep. Some things you might do

is get some exercise it promotes sleep. Don't eat, drink coffee, tea or

alcohol within two hours of going to bed. Stop smoking. Don't use your

bedroom for anything except sleep. Establish that when you go into your

bedroom that you are going there to sleep. Establish a bedtime ritual.

Don't think about troubles when you are going to sleep. Put them on

hold until the next day they will still be there.

Recognising you are sleep deprived is the first step. Knowing that

being sleep deprived is dangerous if you are operating machinery, or

driving your car is important. You also may be putting your job on the

line with lack of attention and memory loss.

So see what is keeping you up. If you suspect you have a sleep disorder

see your doctor. If not maybe giving up an extra hour of whatever is

keeping you up will do it.

Try to de-stress your life as much as possible, tension is a major

factor in having sleeping problems. Try to close your eyes, breathe

deeply and think about something pleasant or relaxing. You might try

some daily meditation it cuts stress better than anything I know of.

Try yoga and deep breathing. They both promote good sleep. If you have

other health problems and pain is a factor in you not sleeping be sure

and see your doctor.

Take good care of yourself and Be well.
