Are you just plain tired? Are you ready for some relief? Well, look no further. Below are ten of America’s favorite ways to get some zzz’s. And, the best part of all most of them includes a form of instant gratification. We American’s also love that.
1) Exercise- This is the cheapest and most natural way to achieve better sleep. Studies have shown that people with mild insomnia who live lethargic lives report better and more constant sleep after about five weeks of exercise. The recommended amount of exercise is thirty minutes a day six days a week. Cardio is an important factor in this because it is the most helpful in reducing stress, leading to higher quality sleep.
2) Water pillow- Water pillows, such as the ever popular Mediflow pillow, have been proven to work wonders on people’s sleeping habits. In a study done at Johns Hopkins University, this pillow came out on top by helping people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up more refreshed. Buying a pillow can be a fairly cheap and easy solution to a sleeping problem.
