The Importance of Sleep
By: Jess | July 16, 2009 | Category: Health
This past weekend my sleep schedule got all messed up. Friday night I was at the beach with friends and got to bed late. Saturday my friend had a potluck and I got to bed late. To make up for it, I napped for a long time on Sunday afternoon and then couldn't fall asleep Sunday night. I've spent the rest of the week trying to get my sleep schedule to look something a little closer to normal.
I'm pretty sure no expert would say my inability to sleep on Sunday night was actually insomnia (or any other sleep disorder for that matter), but I still figured it couldn't hurt to look into ways to get my sleep schedule back on track.
I found some great tips for getting better sleep in this article on sleeping well.
I also learned I violate two of them on a regular basis.
As you can see from my example above, I hardly keep a regular sleep-wake cycle, especially on the weekends. I also routinely go for my runs around 8 p.m., which is about two hours before I hit the hay on a work night.
I can't be the only one who violates the "rules of sleep." If you've got a minute, check out the list and share in the comments which tip you have the hardest time following.
