Night time wake up with subsequent insomnia?

Posted by Charles Waisbren on July 16, 2021 at 12:19 PM

Trouble falling back to sleep once you wake up in the middle of the night?

Don't start messing with your cell phone:  the bright light inhibits your body's natural melatonin.

You can read with a soft light; stretch; deep breathe; even get out of bed for a while.

Sleep all messed up?

Posted by Charles Waisbren on June 11, 2021 at 8:40 AM

Sleep all messed up since Covid? You are not alone.
How to beat insomnia:
1) 25 minute rule. If you haven't fallen asleep after 25 minutes, get out of bed and try again later.
2) Throw away your worries. Sit down with a piece of paper 1-2 hours before bedtime and write down your worries. Then throw away that piece of paper. You had those thoughts and now they are gone.
3) Only use your devices while standing. When you are tired, put the phone away and get into bed.
4) Follow a daily circadian rhythm. Keep your bedtime and wake up time consistent. The less that you deviate from your normal bed and wake up times the better you will sleep.
5) Make your bed a haven: Reserve your bed for sleep only.
6) Exercise for better sleep.
7) Cut off caffeine at 2 p.m. Caffeine has a half life of 8 hours. It needs to be out of your system at bed time.
8) Follow the two drink rule and stop at least 3 hours before bed. Alcohol suppresses REM sleep.

Posted by Charles Waisbren on June 06, 2021 at 4:26 PM

During the pandemic, many adult children moved back in with their parents.  Some have found it hard to return to their own homes.  I must admit, I loved having my son and his family move in with us for a while during the height of Covid 19.  I am not sure, though, whether my son and his family found it difficult to return to their life back in New York.

It is still safer to exercise outside

Posted by Charles Waisbren on May 21, 2021 at 10:04 AM

Although we are making great progress against Covid 19, it is still safer to exercise outside rather than in a closed gym.  The smaller indoor space, heavy breathing and multiple exercisers make the gym experience risker than being outside.  It is summer now.  Get out to walk, jog, bike or do your yoga on an outdoor mat.
