Problems With Snoozing?

Here's a situation, you have classes at 9:30am the next day and you have to cram a critical analysis essay for that class the night before. It is already 1am and you're still on your first sentence of the essay and you can't do it earlier in the day because it is your brother's wedding. You ended up finishing the essay and almost pulling an all-nighter. You slept at 5am and had to wake up at 8am. What would happen the next day?

1. Become really cranky upon waking up and you'll be the biggest b**** all day to everyone.
2. You'll end up asking your friend to submit your essay, while you doze away just to get your body's fair share of energy.
3. Bad hair day
4. You'll oversleep and will not wake up on time for your class, which will kill you

There are a lot more unpleasant things that could happen the next day and guess what, all of these can be caused just by a interruption in the normal sleeping pattern of the person.

Now here is what a normal human being needs in order to remain normally functional in the next day:

1. 8-10 Hours of sleep
2. Good sleeping posture, which leads to minimal snoring
   
3. Minimal sleep interruptions all throughout the night

With all these 3 items above pointed out, all you got to do is manage your time properly so that you'd get that enough sleep and refurbish your bed so that you'd have a good posture. However, that is only for the normal human beings, what if you are a person suffering from insomnia?

There are 3 types of insomnia:

1. Taking too long to get to sleep (Onset Insomnia)
2. Waking up too often throughout the night (Middle Insomnia)
3. Waking up too early and being unable to get back to sleep (Terminal Insomnia)

Well here are a couple of tips that could help you in trying to fall asleep with ease.

1. Try to sleep at a room with a temperature of 18°C-21°C. Well, warmer if you really are afraid of the cold but warmer temperatures doesn't really help at all to other people.
2. Eat a high fat and protein meal within 3 hours of bedtime will score you a faster time to sleep. Eating at least 2 prime-rib or rib-eye steaks weighing at 3 quarters of a pound each will surely get you that tranquilizer-feeling effect.
3. Taking a cold bath one hour prior to bedtime. Apparently, ice-cold (LITERALLY) baths get you to sleep faster because of the energy your body exerts to stay in its normal temperature. Giving you a good yet somewhere tired feeling that just knocks you down when you go to bed.

These are just few examples of how you can speed up your waiting time before you sleep.

Just to summarize everything up, sleep is very important in our daily lives because it sets your mood at the start of the day. Sleep can be your best friend or your punisher depending on how comfortable you were sleeping. Healthy sleeping will not only get you a good day, but also a healthy body.
