Night time sleep

Many people struggle with getting a good night's sleep. Achieving a good night's sleep requires good sleep hygiene. This starts with going to bed and waking up at regular times. A helpful "sleep ritual" that prepares for nighttime sleep.  

This signals the body to trigger the natural process, which is purely biological and inherent in every human being. Of course, I simply can't expect a good night's sleep if I'm watching a lot of TV right before bedtime, have just come from a loud disco, tend to postpone my life's problems until nighttime instead of seeking solutions during the day, don't have a dark and quiet bedroom, and create a variety of other obstacles that simply prevent me from getting enough sleep. 

It's important to know that people have very different sleep needs. Napoleon, for example, was a short sleeper. He sometimes got by with only four hours of sleep a day. Chancellor Bismarck, on the other hand, often stayed in bed for 12 hours. I'm going to say that most people with sleep deprivation watch too much TV before bed. Get rid of that box and get a good night's sleep!
