Some (Pretty Straight-forward) Tips for Better Sleep:

  • Caffeine is a stimulant. Avoid it 4-6 hours before bedtime.

  • Avoid heavy meals before sleeping. If you need a light snack, stay away from protein and stick to carbohydrates. Research shows that small snacks rich in carbohydrates may help sleep. And, of course, common sense shows that we are not supposed to be digesting while we’re sleeping. We’re supposed to be RESTING!

  • Try to unwind an hour before bedtime. Turn off the TV and the computer. Relax.

  • Make your bedroom your haven for sleep and other "bedroom activities" only. No TV, radio, eating, reading or working allowed!

Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve...Learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny.

~ Krishna
