By: Ashley Green

Ever wondered, how easily we wish our family, friends or
relatives "Sweet Dreams", but at times the so called "Sweet
Dreams" don't come so easily to us. It really gets ironic. May
be because money can buy you designer beds bot not sound sleep.
We all know the benefits of sound sleep but still many of us
long for it. How to ensure sound sleep then becomes the biggest
problem and may be the biggest mystery too.

Here are some valuable tips one can follow to ensure Sound
Sleep. But before mentioning it, lets have a peek-a-boo on the
benefits of sound sleep.

Benefits of sound sleep.

. The first and the foremost, sleeping is the time when our
muscles relax. They get rest so that they can work efficiently
next day. Also, while sleeping our breathing rate and heartbeat
slow down too.

. An adequate sleep is a must for maintaining a balanced
biochemical state. It is well known, many enzymes and hormones
work only at night.

Now we come down to the valuable and effective tips which
ensure sound sleep and sweet dreams!

. Avoid drinking coffee or tea before going to bed.

. Dont go to bed with over-stressed mind. Resolve your issues
before hand.

. Yoga or exercise before sleeping is really a smart option. It
also ensures tight sleep.

. Avoid watching action-packed movies or horror movies before
sleeping. This may harm give you nightmares.

. Reading before sleeping is good habit but once it gets
habitual, you become dependent on it. You can also listen to
some soothing music before turning off the lights.

. A balanced diet also helps in a great way to get to your goal.

. Last but not the least, avoid sedatives. If you are
addicted to them, take some physician's advice.


There could be nothing like keeping your mind at peace. Though
it is difficult to achieve but not impossible. Keep yourself
calm and relaxed.

Besides, Sleeping apnea/apnoea, other conditions related to
sleep are not serious and can easily be overcome. Sleeping
apnea/apnoea is a disease where you stop breathing every now and
then during sleep. The soft tissues at the back of your throat
and your tongue fall back and obstruct the upper airways. This
leads to the stopping of breathing. Sleeping apnea/apnoea can be
cured with the help of doctor's advice. C pap, a portable
machine is highly used to fight sleep apnea/apnoea.


Snoring is othe major problem with many of us. We,
unconciously, affect our partner's sleep too which can get
really irritating at times. Snoring can be because of the
following reasons

. Exessive Day time Sleep

. Obesity

. Obstruction of the upper airways which further leads to sleep
apnoea.

To avoid snoring, either have your dinner early or use a
nose-guard that discourages snoring. It has also been found that
sleeping on your back back encourage snoring too. So try
sleeping on your sides. Also, alcohol and sleeping pills
aggravate snoring. At times, allergies can also cause snoring.
