Sleep
I know I am not an insomniac, but I am a terrible sleeper. I know the importance of sleep and especially its part in the post-exercise recovery process. I also know that, more often than not, I do not get the recommended amount.
My main problems are:
- I rarely get into a regular routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time.
- I allow the events of the day to effects my state of mind too much. On too many occasions I have gone to bed with lines of code looping round my head.
- I don't let myself wind down towards bedtime by avoiding TV, PC's and exercise.
Being away from the computer and TV for last two weeks has done a lot to improve my sleep, but before going away I was having some pretty poor night's kip. So I was trying a few things to improve matters. Two methods in particular do seem to be working. I am drinking a glass of milk before going to bed and I have got hold of a clock lamp which fades down over 30 minutes and back up again in the morning at the required time. The milk's an old trick, but I was pretty sceptical about the lamp , however it really does seem to be working.
If you want some good tips on getting a sound nights kip there's a good post over at To-Done thats worth having a peek at [ Tips for getting to sleep faster & sleeping better ].
