The Importance Of Comfort And Posture To An Insomnia Cure

As you make changes in your life to promote and achieve natural sleep you should take into consideration the conditions of your bed, bedding, and sleeping clothing.

Your goal should be to make these as comfortable as possible and to avoid any irritations that will prevent you from falling asleep or that may wake you during the night.

You may need to make adjustments as you experiment with what works best for you.

• Your mattress should be comfortable and firm to provide you with sufficient spinal support. It should be free of lumps and bumps.
  
  Make sure that the mattress doesn't sag as this can lead to inadequate spinal support.



• Make sure that your bed is big enough. If you sleep on a single mattress and find that you need more space, you may want to consider purchasing a double or a queen size mattress.

• The bedding on your bed should be crisp and clean. You may want to leave the sheets un-tucked at the bottom of the bed so that your feet feel free and unconstrained.



• Try not to use too many or too few blankets. Your goal should be to find the right temperature for sleeping so that you don't wake during the night to make adjustments.
  
  You should be sleeping in a cool room so take this into account when you use blankets.



• The pajamas you wear should be loose and comfortable. Tight clothing may cause you to feel restricted and wake you during the night.



• Don't use your bed for anything other than sleeping or sex. Your mind and body should associate the bed with rest and sleep.



• Your bed should be a place of comfort and harmony for you. Take pleasure in finding bedding and sleeping clothing that make you feel calm and good about yourself.



• Find a favorite position to fall asleep in, whether on your back, stomach, or on your side. Stick to this position when you first get into bed so that your consciousness knows that it is time for sleep.
