Healthy Lifestyles Living -Top Tips To Get A Good Night Sleep

 Here’s my top tips to get a good night sleep. I want you to spend less time tossing and turning, and more time getting truly restful sleep.



How often would you say you are getting a good night sleep? Not often is alas the most common answer I hear from my readers. No matter how exhausted you may feel, you frequently just lie there in bed, desperate to sleep but unable to do so.

Why we need sleep

Sleeping well directly affects your mental and physical health and the quality of your waking life. Falling short can take a serious toll on your daytime energy, productivity, emotional balance, and even your weight. Yet many of us regularly toss and turn at night, struggling to get the sleep we need.

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Lack of sleep can lead to premature aging, high blood pressure, and increased stress. Getting enough quality sleep can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. Sleep allows our bodies to repair themselves, recharge and restore.

For optimal health, it is imperative that you get at least eight hours of sleep a night.

To determine whether you are getting enough sleep, ask yourself:

  • Am I often tired?
  • Am I using caffeine to get through the day?
  • Do I sleep well?
  • Do I wake up feeling refreshed?
  • Do I get drowsy while driving or watching TV?

There is a distinction between people who jump out of bed early every morning and fling themselves straight into their challenging schedule and those who have to haul themselves slowly into consciousness, who lie there for ages before struggling to the kitchen to make themselves their first caffeine kick of the day.

Let’s try and bring about an improvement in the quality of your sleep. Let me provide you with some tips to get you better prepared for a good night sleep and give you a better chance of getting a longer uninterrupted deep sleep each night.

Have a sleep wind down routine

Start a healthy sleep wind down routine that starts long before your head hits the pillow. Stop working or watching TV at least an hour before you retire to bed. The light most screens give off make your brain think that it is still daytime and wakes you up minimizing melatonin – a hormone in our brain that comes out in darkness and makes us sleepy. Don’t eat or drink in this period either. Avoid or limit caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant, and it can keep you awake. Coffee, tea, colas and other sodas, and chocolate all contain caffeine. Allow the last hour before you go to bed to simply relax, begin your bodies slow down. Maybe read a little, while listening to relaxing music, or just sit comfortably and meditate. Really just calm your mind and body. Meditation is a great way to wind down, calm the mind, and prepare for sleep.

Empty your mind, relax your body by meditation

Just empty your mind before sleep. Many of you suffer from too many thoughts going around in your head, your mind racing with thoughts about all the difficulties you’re facing or all the things you need to do. A busy mind isn’t going to allow you to sleep. So simply do the total opposite, think about nothing, pay attention to your body – and nothing else so you’re allowing your mind to rest. You might become more aware of the sound of your breath or the feeling of the bed underneath you, which is fine as long as any other thoughts are just allowed to go.

For example, if your thoughts keep wandering to your work, just steer yourself back to being mindful without judging yourself, let all other thoughts go. This is mindfulness meditation, and a great way to induce a good night sleep.

Keep a constant sleep schedule

Maintain a regular rest and sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning. Even though you may feel tired on some mornings, getting up at the same time each day helps your body maintain its natural sleep cycle.

A step further than counting sheep

When much younger if I struggled to sleep, I was told to lie in bed and count sheep. An improvement on this would be to visualise a peaceful, restful place, like a beach or beautiful countryside as a great way to relax yourself into sleep. Close your eyes and imagine a place that’s calming and peaceful. Concentrate on how relaxed this place makes you feel. Again this relaxing way of distracting your mind makes for an inviting door to sleep.

In total darkness

When it’s time to sleep, make sure the room is dark. Use heavy curtains or shades to block light from windows, or try a sleep mask.

Set up the right environment for sleep

Pay attention to the comfort of your bedroom. Don’t just keep your bedroom dark, but also quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Make sure your mattress and pillows are comfortable. Your bed should allow for ease of movement and provide good body support. This usually means a good-quality, firm mattress that supports the spine and does not allow the body to sink in the middle of the bed. More than 9 out of 10 respondents on a survey from the National Sleep Foundation said their mattress was the most important factor to their sleep experience.

Exercise daily

People who exercise regularly sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day. Regular exercise helps you to achieve better night sleep. The more vigorously you exercise, the more powerful the sleep benefits. But even light exercise – such as walking for just 10 minutes a day – improves sleep quality. Specifically, morning or afternoon exercise helps you fall asleep faster with less trouble. Just be sure not to exercise right before bed, as that had the opposite effect.

These are simple lifestyle changes you need to make if you’re going to bring about improvements and help yourself to get a good night sleep, every night. The change probably won’t happen immediately. You will have to do these things consistently for up to 14 days, but if you do you will experience a far better night sleep.

What is energy?

 What is energy?

Energy refers to available power or motivation to move, as in Jada found that getting enough sleep each night gave her the energy to live each day.



Energy also refers to power that is used with exertion or force, as in Monique brought energy to the team, leading them to win more games.

In physics, energy is the power or heat that is created when something moves, is burned, or is exerted. It is typically represented in two forms: potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is power that is stored in something as it sits still or is unburned. For example, coal contains a large amount of potential energy that is released when the coal is burned. As the coal burns, that potential energy becomes kinetic energy, energy related to the particles in the system.

Energy is a common word with several other senses related to power or motivation.

Example: Darryl found out the hard way that cell phone batteries lose their energy in the cold.

Why ENERGY STAR?

 Why ENERGY STAR?

Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature can be expensive. A typical household’s energy bill is around $1,900 annually, and almost half of that goes to heating and cooling! To cut these costs, an air source heat pump (ASHP) can be installed and connected to the conventional forced-air ductwork system that is typical of most American homes. (For homes without ductwork, see www.energystar.gov/minisplit.)






ASHPs that earn the ENERGY STAR label are independently certified to save energy, save money, and protect the climate. Electric ASHPs use the difference between outdoor air temperatures and indoor air temperatures to cool and heat your home. Because heat pumps move heat rather than converting it from fuel, as combustion heating systems do, an ASHP is so efficient that it can deliver up to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. ASHPs are also a smart investment year-round, as heat pumps serve double duty by also providing cooling in the summer months.

How to stop Spam Emails

How to stop Spam Emails: Keywords,Tutorials,Tools,Marketing,Affiliates

How can be done to stop emails entering the spam folder?

The problem many people encounters when it comes email sending, is their email ends up in spam folder. Sometimes the recipient could not check his Spam folder. In some cases the software deletes in from the spam making it not available to the recipient. For the beginners it will discourage them from going further as they might give up that it is not working.

How can be done to stop emails entering the Spam folder?

Capitalized Email subject

The email can enter the spam folder when the subject is in Capital letters as the most of the spam email had their subject in Capital letter. This makes it possible for the spider to locate such as a spam

Provide an unsubscribe link

Every email messages that can repeat itself or to be sent several times can be offensive to the recipient and as such a case it might be regarded as spam. It might be that the recipient is not interested on the message. This is why the unsubscribe link must be provided in order to avoid the repetition of such email without the authorization of the recipient. The received might decide to stop such email coming to his email box by using the unsubscribe link to stop the email.

Set up email authentication

When an email is originated from an authenticated source it will be trusted. The email had trace back to the sender, so the sender can receive response from the receiver. The source of the email plays an important role in determining how the email will be treated. And in some cases such email can be verified if they are spam or not.

Do not send more than one attachment.

One message might be seen as a spam if it contains more than one attachment. When an email is containing more than one attachment it might likely be offensive to the receiver as such email might occupy big space when received. There are some emails that sent some attachment that contained spam emails or virus in order to deceive the receiver in this case the sever might detect this as a spam email thereby relocating it to the spam folder.

Use trusted email hosting

Some hosting company that does not always comply with the regulations of the spam prevention can be flagged and regarded as an un-trusted. Some server had be used to send several spam emails and deceptive emails. This hosting sever had not integrity with the email server so any email been sent from the server can be suspicions.

Spam tag words

Avoid words that are considered spam , such as cheap, free, limited offer, and others
Many words had reports attached to it, because it had been used several times to send a fraudulent emails, therefore using such word can land the email to spam folder.

Special server

You can use a special server such as VPS, Dedicated server. If the server is shared server it means that you have no control of what will be going out or coming in to the server. That is why it advisable to use the special server, where can be in control of some activities of the server. You can control the server in sending authentic emails. The most important thing you apply is to use a special server for your email marketing. Because email hosting usually provides extra security features for email marketing.

The subject of the email

The subject of the email is relevant to the content of the email. The subject of the email is not related to the body of the email. This is also can be regarded as a fraudulent email because the subject maybe attractive the recipient but the message will be saying a different thing from the subject. Some subject like How to become a millionaire, Free Offers etc. Some subject might be deceptive, when an email had such a word it will be regarded as a spam as well.
