Battling Anxiety - 5 Tips For A Good Night's Rest

1) Incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

Increasing the amount of exercise you get each day can help to improve your ability to fall asleep as well as the quality of sleep you get. In addition, exercise offers many health benefits. Thirty minutes of exercise a day, even if taken as 3 ten-minute spurts of exercise or doing yoga and stretching exercises while watching television in the evening.  

2) Avoid taking naps during the day.

Naps, especially when taken late in the afternoon can interfere with sleeping at night. Instead of taking a nap, try taking a brisk walk to help invigorate yourself. If you must take a nap, try to take one earlier in the day and limit your nap to 30 minutes. 

3) Avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine.

Alcohol may help put some people to sleep but the quality of the sleep is usually poor. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and can interfere with both falling asleep and staying asleep. 

4) Go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning.

Keeping to a set schedule will help tell your body that it is time to sleep. The longer you keep your routine, the easier you will find it is to fall asleep each night.   Create a bedtime routine to help you relax. Preparation for bedtime will help to alert your body that it is time for sleep. Think about the things that help you relax. It could be reading a book, listening to soft music, taking a warm bath or engaging in any quiet activity. Spend some time each evening, right before bedtime to wind down.

5) Take a natural supplement.

The demands of everyday life make it nearly impossible to provide your body with proper nutrition (in a reasonable amount of time.) Work and financial pressure can create stress hormones, and most of all, negative self talk. We all have discussions with ourselves all day, but we want to be mindful of what that discussion is. All of these factors can cause disregulation of brain chemistry. The answer is not in another chemical. A2X Anxiety is an effective, fast acting, natural supplement that helps to regulate brain chemistry and carry you off to a good night's rest.
