5 Ways to Get a Great Night’s Sleep

For those of you who don’t know, I have two sleep disorders.  Not only am I cursed by Sleep Apnea, but I also suffer from Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (a very mild form of Narcolepsy).  However, I’m very well aware that nearly 50 million Americans suffer from the opposite and aren’t getting enough sleep (according to a study by an Institute of Medicine).  My husband is one of these people.  His mind is busy all the time and at least twice a week he keeps me awake for hours because of his insomnia.

Getting plenty of rest is important.  Here are 5 ways to ensure you get a good night’s sleep:

• Go to bed and get up at the same times every day—even on days off. Why? You’ll help regulate your body’s internal clock to get the 7—8 hours sleep most adults require.*
• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine.  Try a warm bath, light reading, partner massage, or listening to pleasant music. Fact: Listening to classical or New Age music at bedtime has been shown to help insomnia sufferers fall asleep. Possible reason: The music matches body rhythms and slows the heart rate.*
• Skip stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine from late afternoon on.  And don’t use alcohol to induce sleep.  As its sedative effect wears off, alcohol can trigger wakefulness.  Don’t rely on sleeping pills.  They can disrupt your sleep/wake cycle if you depend on them too much.*
• Squeeze in daytime fitness. In one recent study, regular exercisers not only slept almost an hour longer than non-exercisers; they also fell asleep in half the time.*
• Drink one 2.5 oz shot of Dream Water.

How Dream Water Works:

How to use:

• Do you have trouble falling asleep? Try drinking a full bottle of Dream Water roughly 20 to 40 minutes before bedtime (although individual times may vary). Our natural sleep ingredients should help lull you to sleep and lead to a more refreshed state the next day.
• Do you have trouble staying asleep? Try keeping your bottle of Dream Water by your bed. When you wake up during the night just drink it. Dream Water should help you back to your sleep instead within 20 to 40 minutes… No TV required!
• Do you have trouble falling asleep AND staying asleep? Try drinking half a bottle roughly 20 to 40 minutes before bedtime and then leave the other half right next to your bed. If you wake up during the night just drink the other half of the Dream Water and give the sheep a break!

Recommended Usage: While we recommend drinking a full bottle of Dream Water during the night, many customers have written to us letting us know that half a bottle works well for them. Feel free to try this technique and let us know too!
