A great reason to sleep more

Our parents always told us to get 8 hours of sleep. But is that really true? Well here is an interesting study published in Jan edition of Archives of Internal Medicine that looked at people getting less than 7 hours of sleep to those getting more than eight. Check out the interesting results.

is there anything that helps u get to sleep faster. because i spend about 30 minutes in bed before i go to sleep

Here are some general tips

-sleep at same time every night

-get rid of all distractions in your bedroom; it should be a peaceful place

-make sure you have a good mattress

-make sure their is no noise (even low level noise interrupts your sleep and prevents you from falling into deep sleep)

-get up same time everyday (and exercise in the morning)

-no caffeine after 4pm

-no TV before bedtime

-sometimes a shower really helps.

-Stay away from sleep aids as they can be habit forming

@bryster7 Reading a book really helps me. After a half-dozen pages I feel drowsy. By to the time I get to a dozen or so pages I'm ready to sleep. If I'm not careful I can accidentally fall asleep with book in hand and light still on.

A very charming call for more sleep.
