Tired of waking up on the wrong side of the bed, day after day?

Do you always get to work irritable and needing that cup up coffee before getting your day started?

Do you spend most of your night tossing and turning before finally drifting off to sleep hours later?

Do you wish you could get quality sleep every night without the need of sleeping pills?

Well, I have an easy way for you to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary for sleeping and take the first step to having a great morning.

It’s not going to cost you anything.  No new decorations, no new paint, no new pictures on the wall. No expensive sound systems that’ll turn your bedroom into a rainforest or a secluded beach house….although it would be nice…it’s not necessary.  We’re all so good at multitasking that we’ve changed the art of sleeping into the next big thing that we can do with our eyes closed…no pun intended.  We’re planning out our day, we’re deciding what item can be placed at the bottom of our To Do List, we’re recapping the day’s events and we’re also trying to get some sleep.  This type of multitasking is not going to get you anywhere.  You’ll end up frustrated and tired and most of all, you’ll have wasted countless minutes or hours of good sleep time.

The key is to make your bedroom for sleeping!  That means no eating that bedtime snack in bed, no sitting in bed for hours watching television until the television is watching you, no using the lap top or working on a project in bed.  Because if you start using your bed for other things not related to sleep when you finally try to drift off to sleep, your mind will keep focused on getting your ToDo List prioritized….wondering how you’ll manage your day…and getting to your meeting on time after dropping off your drycleaning. 

Instead of running through this list while staring at the ceiling, set aside some time before getting ready for bed, before heading off to your bedroom while you’re still in the kitchen, the living room or wherever you have a pad and a pen and write down all the things that you need to get done.  Issues that you need to tackle the following day, items that you need to remember to take care of….anything that your mind needs to run through before really unwinding. 

So when you step over the threshold into your bedroom your mind is clear of all the clutter, you’ve taken care of all the important items and you can just relax!!!

And drift off to sleep for a great night’s rest.

Try it out and you’ll be amazed!  You’ll wake up more refreshed and energized….ready for a great new day.

To your wellness,
