– Meditate: Even 2 minutes per day will help you reduce stress and anxiety. Click here to see the position you should be in to meditate and how to focus on your breathing
– Melatonin. Talk to your Naturopath (click here to see my naturopath) to know how much you should take. A dosage of 3-20 mg tablets may be necessary. Prepare your body for sleep by reducing your exposure to any source of light. Avoid using your computer/cell phone 1 hour prior to bed time
– Drink organic lavendar or chamomille tea. To reduce anxiety, take a 80 mg capsule of lavender
– Use your favorite essential oil extract scent in your bedroom. I like using lavender or peppermint
– Use your bedroom to rest & sleep! No television, no work please!! Read your favorite novel and relax
– Get a massage from your spouse
– Make love to your spouse! It is exercise and you release hormones that help you to relax and sleep
– Make sure to have a dark room even in the morning
– Be happy!! That is a choice you should make each morning
– Laugh. With age unfortunately we laugh less than in our childhood, so we need to create events to laugh more. Spend time with good friends/relatives, watching a comedy, reading a funny book, or simply join a laughter group. Bonus: You are going to live healthier and longer
