7 Secrets of Great Sleep

     Hello world! Have trouble sleeping? I will share to some tips and these are NOT MINE to brag. Here it is.

     Source: Unknown

     1. Eat and Live Healthy

            It is OK to drink wine, it makes you easier to drop off.   However, to much alcohol can lead to restless sleep.   Nicotine and caffeine also keeps many people awake.  Try lessening your alcohol and caffeine intake.  According to Dr. Arthur Lee, head of Psychological and Addiction Medicine at Alexandra Hospital and Woodbridge Hospital/Institute of Mental Health in Singapore, eating too much in the evening is not advised.  Since heavy meal activates digestion, it stops the body from winding down.

     2. Relax

              People with stressful and busy lives sure has trouble sleeping.   Some studies says that production of stress hormones can hinder sleep.    When you are in bed, don't think of what happened today, and what will happen tomorrow.   Just be in bed and relax.   With the problems you have today, you deserve a good night.

    3. Excercise

             Well, I am not good at it but it improves sleep.  When you jog, play basketball, ride a bicycle, you will need more sleep.   It will also increase your deep sleep phases.   But do not indulge in sports late in the evening, it may stimulate your body.

   4. Improve your Bedroom

            Imagine you are in a hotel, with proper lighting and ventilation and soft pillows. Sure it is nice to sleep.  But try to sleep in on the floor with to mattress and no electric fans.   See, try to improve your bedroom.

   5. Go to Bed at the Right Time

                Give yourself a curfew.  It's discipline, If it's 10:00 PM, it's 10:00 PM, and get up at 6:00 AM.  Do this everyday so your biological rhythm will not be disturbed.    For some who has sleeping problems, avoid taking a nap on midday.

   6. Create a Bedtime Ritual

                 Try having a bath, sure it's good to sleep after.  I've tried it.  Or you can have a glass of hot milk, you can add honey if you want.  Honey contains L-tryptophan that helps the brain sleep.

   7. Get Up rather than Toss and Turn

                Don't be conscious of the time, it makes sleep harder.   Don't switch on the light also, it can cause wakefulness.

    Having a good sleep makes an advantage at work, at school, and more.   Have a nice day!

Just Muay Thai

     Hello world! Who's a Muay Thai fan here? Well I am a Muay Thai fan and if you are too I bet you know Tony Jaa.  

     Muay Thai is a combat sport originated from Thailand.   Its techniques involve knee strikes, elbows, and shin.  Actually it originated from Muay Boran - a primitive martial art used by Siamese soldiers.  Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport. For a resource in Muay Boran visit oldstylemuaythai.blogspot.com.

     My previous trainer said Muay Thai is fatal and he is right.   With the devastating force of elbows and knees it could knock down average people.  But Muay Thai could still be fun as a sport, as a lifestyle, and for health improvement.

     I'm getting stouter so lately I'm interested in joining a Muay Thai Club.  Gladly I found one at Koronadal City.

     Have a nice day!   Want to know more about Muay Thai?
