Sleeping Well

Sleeping well is getting up to a new day full of hope and challenge. What is worst then having a bad sleep, unwanted dreams and all the body aches that you experience in the morning, to cope with a busy schedule at work. Don't you think that it is you who actually created the unpleasantness to spoil your day.

Sleep debt or depriving oneself of sleep is rampant in today's metropolitan living, the stressors we experience everyday will add on to our tired mind making sleep even more difficult to cope with. I am certainly no expert to claim authority over sleep, only an understanding of its fine rudiments will make one to appreciate why sleeping well is so important to a healthy life.

Sleeping well is about one adjusting and adapting to the "do's" and "don'ts" of everyday living. If you think coffee will disturb your sleeping patterns, I have many friends who will argue and say coffee help them in sleep. But yes, generally speaking any stimulants like coffee may hamper the sleep pattern of many individuals.

Sleeping also connects to our brain waves which account for the dreams many would experience in the REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement). Would you be sleeping well with REM Sleep? The answer lies with you.
