Sleep Well With the Help of Chiropractic Care
Sleep is sometimes hard to come by. When we’re young, we fight sleep. When we get older, we hope and wish for just a few hours of shut eye. Unfortunately, many things get in the way. Snoring spouses, screaming babies, work worries...all of these are just a few of the reasons that many of us are unable to get the sleep that we so desperately need. If this is you, rest assured, that you are not doomed to do without sleep for the rest of your life. Here are a few tips for improving your quality of sleep so that you can be happy and healthy everyday.
Exercise
There are 2 things to remember when it comes to exercise and sleep. First, do it! Exercise helps to tire the body out and get it prepared to wind down. Second, do it early! Working out too late often has the opposite effect, and you’ll find yourself amped up at bedtime. For the best results, stick to working out a minimum of 2 hours before bedtime.
Cut Out Stimulants
Stimulants for most people consist of caffeine. Caffeine is a great pick me up in the mornings, but consuming caffeine in the afternoons can lead to a diminished quality of sleep. If you need more sleep, cut out the caffeine one product at a time. Drink Coke all day? Cut out one a day over a period of time. Pretty soon, limit your intake to the mornings only. This will be hard, but once you start getting more sleep, you’ll soon find it to be more than worth it.
Get Chiropractic Care
In lots of different cases, regular chiropractic care has been shown to increase the quality of sleep for many people. Chiropractors are often able to align the spine properly by manually manipulating it. With the spine properly aligned, the body has less aches and pains and less tension. The combination of released tension, proper alignment, and properly functioning bodily systems means that your body can wind down and relax, leading to more sleep, and more importantly better quality sleep.
