How to Get the Best Sleep of Your Life

By Donna Stark

There are plenty of givens in our life when it comes to summertime. It's a given that ice cream and lemonade consumption will rise, that fireflies and the sound of crickets will fill our nights, and that the days will become warmer and much, much longer. For some of us, it's also a given that we get less sleep. If you find that you are not getting the perfect amount and quality of sleep your body needs, seeing your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic may help. Here's why.

Effective Care

One of the most important things you can do to maintain optimal health and wellness is to prioritize your sleep. This could mean you need to adjust your lifestyle or it could mean you need to see your chiropractor for a chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractor you see at The Joint Chiropractic can alleviate the discomfort and reduce the disruptions that are causing your sleep to be restless. Chiropractic adjustments place the body in proper alignment, ease muscle tension and joint pain, improve blood flow, and promote relaxation. And since they are completely all-natural, you can count on having the safest sleep possible.

Helpful Advice

There are many reasons, outside of your physical health, that can cause your sleep to be disrupted and keep you tossing and turning for hours, but fortunately, your local chiropractors have some suggestions. Here are a few of their favorites.

• Mattress - Invest in a quality mattress and pillow set that provides plenty of support to your back and neck. Although it may seem like it's too big of an investment, it will be worth every penny you spend considering the amount of time you spend in bed.
• Room - Make sure your bedroom is conducive to getting a good night of rest. Keep it cool, dark, and quiet. Use a white noise machine or fan to block out disruptive sounds.
• Devices - Turn off all electronic devices at least an hour before bed. Find something else to do at that time to help your body relax, like reading, stretching, taking a bath, or writing in a journal.
• Routine - Commit to a consistent bedtime routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, including weekends!
