5 Tips & 5 Giveaways to Improve Your Sleep

I've always been interested in trying a memory foam mattress pad. I finally gave in and bought a 2" pad and I love it! I used to wake up with my shoulder hurting from laying on it wrong. I haven't had that problem since I bought the Memory foam mattress pad.

Remove all light from the room. Turn your digital alarm clock around not facing you. Make sue tv night light or any other light is out. If you go to the bathroom in the midlle of the night try not to turn on any lights. Light resets the brain tricks the brain into thinking the internal clock needs to turn on... Which will not allow you to have a restful sleep.

I recently received the Phillips Wake UP light, I've tried numerous products, techniques, and tips in order to sleep better, longer, and wake up more refreshed! But nothing is more reliable and easy to use than the phillips light. It comes on gradually, so when I wake up on the East Coast and its dark, I am no longer blinded by the light when I turn the light on. But even better, when I wake up, I feel refreshed and ready to go. Before I tried this ilght, I just felt sluggish and foggy. I love the bird sound and the chime sounds of the alarm, I alternate so I don't get too used to either. You can control the volume of the sounds, and the intensity of the light. So, i think for the price it's got a lot of features, and is a very high quality product. Best of all, i am just so much happier in the morning.

I'm a mom of 3 very active children, so if I don't schedule any me time before I get ready to go to bed, chances are its going to be hard to get a peaceful sleep. My tip is To take a nice bath or shower before going to bed. Taking a hot shower will relax your muscles and give you a chance to clear your mind, you can also add some soothing salts to your bath or use a sweet smelling body wash in the shower. I find this very effective when I am having a stressful day. Pampering myself gives me a big sense of relaxation and sense of centering myself.

yes warm bath and glass of milk help to relax and back to sleep.

I take a shower after my kids go to bed. Then I put face cream on and go to bed with my Kindle!

I like to take a warm bath and then snuggle in my favorite blanket with a great Book :-)

I use lavender vanilla body lotion (from Bath & Body Works) on my chest to fight wrinkles and so that I can smell the relaxing scent as my body heat warms it. I also use the TV on low volume for white noise to shut my mind down.

I love to read and so does my husband. This was a perfect article to remind us how our newest nightly routine of reading together in bed really helps get us in the mood...to sleep! :)

to help me get a good night sleep i turn my computer off as soon as my 10 mos old baby fall a sleep and lay next to him and i"m out for the night.

On a night when it's more difficult for me to sleep, I like to soak in a hot bath with a great book, then putting on some relaxing music before I crawl into bed.

I love to listen to my favorite podcasts while crocheting or knitting. Sometimes I'll just do some reading. But, when I'm done, I ALWAYS snuggle under my covers, with a fluffy pillow and a contour pillow, and have a great night's sleep on my Tempurpedic bed, .... I also have a fluffy down mattress topper that makes it feel like sleeping on clouds....I never want to get up....sooo comfy!!

Great recommendations. I struggle to fall asleep and to stay asleep through the night. I read before bed and use a fan for white noise, but I think that the stress I have in my life right now is just soo much that even the things I try to do are not working very well. :(

I have severe insomnia. Honestly, I would love to try a product that will help me stay asleep. Falling asleep hasn't been my issue, it's all the times in the middle of the night that I'm wide awake that I'm having a hard time with. My son was diagnosed with Circadian Rhythm Sleep Phase Disorder. He has a very difficult time getting up in the mornings for college because his sleep is constantly interrupted. I'm curious about the Philips Wake-up Light and if it would help either or both of us.

I use a fan for the white noise and I read at bedtme. I get so relaxed sometimes that I wake myself up when I drop my book. I then turn out my bedside light and snooze away.
