Sleep, poorWhat defines a good night is different for everyone and is determined by a variety of personal and lifestyle habits. It could even be said that your sleep reflects what’s happening in your life.How to get a better nights sleep: Create a good sleep routine: It doesn’t matter what time you decide to sleep. Having a consistent sleep routine every night is the first step in training your body to prepare for a good night’s sleep. Keep a tidy bed: Bed cleanliness and comfort are the pillars of sound sleep.

This helps the eyes and body adjust to a placid state for sleep. Quieting a chattering mind: Practising relaxation exercises, because it doesn’t matter how well you’ve prepared yourself for sleep if your mind is racing.
