Sure Ways To Lose Sleep!

Using a support pillow is great and will help you not only sleep better but improve neck posture. There are a few other factors however that may be causing you to not get enough zzz's.

The biggest reasons I see for people not sleeping good are:
  • Drinking and eating too close to bed time - of course what you eat and drink plays a role too, but keeping it simple, don't eat after 7 pm.

  • On the same token - Do not exercise right before bed. I know, you gotta get your workout in; set your alarm for an early morning workout, it'll pay off in the long run.

  • Lastly, Avoid doing alot of work right before bed. Try to ease your mind down. Leisure reading is a good way to relax before bed. Turn the computer off and put away the papers you took home from the office. You'll be more productive getting a good nights rest and getting up a few minutes earlier.

    Try these really simple tricks and I gaurantee a better nights rest!
