Lifestyle Choices

1. The time most adults need to sleep each night is around eight to nine hours.

2. An ideal temperature for a good night’s sleep is around 18-23°C.

3. Moving in your sleep is normal — most adults will move between 40 and 70 times a night.

4. Sleep is vital for the proper functioning of all systems in the body.

5. Rest from relaying messages to and from the outside world gives the brain a chance to perform maintenance.

6. Sleep is an important factor linked to longer life.

You know you are not getting enough sleep when you:

1. feel drowsy throughout the day;

2. have a desire to sleep in;

3. fall asleep within minutes of lying down;

4. find it difficult to get up;

5. are grumpy and irritable for no reason;

6. feel emotional at the drop of a hat;

7. need a cup of coffee first thing in the morning;

8. doze off watching television at night.

Please note: if you are the mother of a newborn baby, then sorry, we have no instant cure or remedy to suggest how you can get more sleep! Sleep deprivation can unfortunately become the norm and often causes a lot of emotional upheaval for everyone in the home. Catch daytime naps when the baby goes down and sleep when your baby sleeps, if possible. Once you have toddlers or other children with a new baby, it comes down to good time management and accepting help (if it is ever offered) without hesitation! We found the essential oils of Lavender and Chamomile beneficial for both our children and ourselves. Either place three drops each of Lavender and Chamomile in a vaporiser or place a drop of Lavender on your pillow.
