You’ve had too much coffee - 10 things that are preventing you from sleeping

You’ve had too much coffee

Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine, a chemical produced by your brain that makes you sleepy. In fact, studies have shown that the caffeine in even one cup will rev your circuits enough to reduce both the length and restorative depths of sleep. It will also wake you during the night to urinate.

Yes! Regular light exercise helps me a lot. I sleep better and have more energy when awake. It doesn't have to be intense or time consuming. The key is to do it regularly: even walking the dog makes a difference.

Melatonin counteracts cortisol - Tryptophan + calcium + carbohydrates to inhibit competing proteins one hour in advance - camomile tea relaxes / green tea counter acts caffeine - 1st generation anti histamines. Plant protein to avoid hunger - cinnamon helps sugar spikes / this avoids hunger when sugar levels fall. Green tea helps avoid sugar spikes with food and slows digestion. All things involve interactions with prescriptions.

ohh,,, yes the working class have time to nap for 90 min .. at 1 to 4 pm LOL..
