I still struggle with sleep sometimes, but I've had a lot of success lately due to learning some important things about sleep. Mainly, 1. Preparing for sleep. Not just brushing my teeth, getting into the jammies and turning the lights out. I'm talking about a 10-20 minute period of time where I transition from the business and stress of the day to the idea and goal of sound sleep. One way I do this is with a sleep preparation ritual, usually where I will read a boring book to help me start feeling more drowsy. 2. Creating a better sleep context I used to watch movies until I fell asleep. I then learned that this was training my body and mind in the wrong way and that the bed should be for sleep and love-making only. This helped a lot. I learned bunch of other amazing stuff and I wrote an ebook that I'm currently giving away for free with NO obligations at the following URL. Please feel free to download it and I want to know what you think of it! http://getsleepgetenergy.com/how-2-sleep |
"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."
