I was talking to my buddy Matt the other day and
we both noticed that in the summer kids seem grow
more than any other time of the year, they seem to
be the same size all year long and over the summer
they sprout up a few inches over night.
Maybe it’s because they get more sleep and
relaxation. They don’t have the stresses of
school, studies, peer pressure or are forced to
have constant supervision by parents and teachers.
They get a lot more sleep, more play time and
relaxation without the stresses and pressures of
the school year.
We all need down-time in order to have our body
and mind function to its peak. I know if I am
stressed or if don’t get a good nights sleep, my
mind doesn’t function as well and if I am
overworked or overloaded by too many projects that
aren’t being completed, I just don’t function as
well.
Stress and sleep are big factors and can cause
major imbalances in the body, mind and even affect
our spirit. One of the major complaints I hear
from patients is they are stressed, filled with
anxiety and can’t get a good nights sleep.
is a common problem that takes a toll on
your energy, mood, health and ability to function
during the day. Chronic insomnia can even
contribute to serious health problems.
In order to properly treat and cure your insomnia,
you need to become an “Undercover Sleep
Investigator”. Emotional issues such as stress,
anxiety and depression cause half of all insomnia
cases but your daytime habits affect your sleep
routine, and physical health also plays a role.
Ask yourself these questions:
▪ Am I under a lot of stress?
▪ Do I feel depressed or feel emotional?
▪ Do I worry or feel anxious?
▪ Was there a traumatic experience that
wasn’t addressed?
▪ Are there any health problems that may
be interfering with sleep?
▪ Is your bedroom quiet and comfortable?
▪ Do you try to go to bed and get up
around the same time every day?
Following the rules can make a world of
difference in your sleeping patterns.
▪ Make your bedroom quiet,and dark.
Even those little lights on the phone
chargers and night lights can affect the brain and
disturb your sleep.
▪ Make a sleep schedule by going to sleep
at the same time every night. Our mind loves to be
on a scheduled pattern. Get up at your usual time
in the morning even if you’re tired. This will
help you get back in a regular sleep rhythm.
▪ Avoid stimulating activity and
stressful situations before bedtime. This includes
exercise, stressful discussions or arguments,
avoid TV, computer, and video games.
*Limit or avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Stop
drinking caffeinated beverages if you want the
Sandman to visit you.
*Quit smoking or avoid it, nicotine is a
stimulant.
Some years ago I had a group of patients come into
my office with stress related problems. They all
knew better and knew how to eliminate the stress
but for some reason they were frozen in their
tracks.
They agreed to work with me one day a week for 6
weeks and learn and practice the meditations in
the ‘Turn Stress into Power book
http://rechargingqigong.com/turn-stress-into-power.html
Every one of them reported better sleep, more
energy during the day and were able to handle
their stress much better.
This isn’t unusual. I receive calls from people
from all over the world asking for my help as both
a coach and a doctor just to get a good night’s
sleep. I started teaching more and more people
these easy to learn techniques on how to use
stress to your advantage.
You can learn and practice these easy to learn
techniques and apply meditations and exercises to
