Sleeping Patterns

[jyms]

Working out at a fairly high intensity will help you get into a better/deeper sleep and not allow you to wake up as easily. It also improves the actual quality of sleep and not the length. Good sleep is about restful sleep, and finding the right length of sleep is trial and error.

Artificial light like TV's, computers and cell phones will wreck early sleep patterns and make many people have hard times getting to sleep. It fucks with circadian rythms. A lot of "dirty" electricity is starting to be blamed for sleep problems too. Electrical appliances near you when sleeping like alarm clocks, laptops and cell phones turned on and charging and also electrical wiring in the walls that have open curcuits to other areas may have a lot of electricity running through them. So many things effect sleep.

FWIW, I have had great success with several clients with just supplementing 325mg of magnesium 2-3 times day during meals and magnesium with 20mgs of zinc a half hour before bed. Then just eliminating any artificial light 1/2 hr before bed to let the eyes adjust

Then just eliminating any artificial light 1/2 hr before bed to let the eyes adjust

Interesting idea, and don't doubt that it works. But who really wants to sit in the dark for 1/2 hour before going to bed? Or is there another way to accomplish this?
