Sleep

I've turned my days and nights around. I was told that this would get worse as I aged. We put a heater in our room, and that helps. We increased the temperature of our bedroom 10 degrees. Increasing the temperature any higher will cause sinus problems or bloody noses.

Not eating before going to bed also helps. Stop eating at least three hours before bed.

I also read a recent article that states having a television in your bedroom keeps you from falling into a deep sleep, even if it is turned off. Watching as much as one hour of television before bed can disrupt sleep patterns. So, we removed our television

These are what we are trying. It has been a week, and we are starting to sleep better, and sleeping less.

We got a heated mattress pad as a gift and it was WONDERFUL. We turn our electric heat down so it's not so dry and stuffy in the bedroom and my husband and I have individual heat settings. It's nice and toasty and is wonderful for body aches or when you're under the weather. I highly recommend it!

That is excellent. I never knew they made them - but I am going to get one. My allergies make it hard to breath dry air without nose bleeds or sinus infections.

Thanks for the tip.
