There are 3 things that will let you have a great night sleep, This is what I read on one of these health websites. I haven't try it yet but it makes a lot of sense, because sometimes I can't sleep. maybe this will help you too. it will help your body realize it's time for bed. And will help you to sleep longer. Get rid of disstrcting light and sounds. Shut all curtains and Blinds. Open a window as long as it is quiet, but only thing is if you live in the wrong area i wouldn't advise it. keep a fan or Air going. Ok, I hope this helps, I am going to try this. I got this info, from www.lifescript.com they have a lot of useful information there, I just wantd to share this with everyone.

For me it has to be cold, but I have to have the tv on for a little light and noise. I can't sleep in pitch black and with no noise. I get too freaked out. I'm a tad paranoid and if its too quiet I think that I hear all these noises that aren't there and I don't sleep at all.

I have a hard time falling asleep most nights, so I'll have to check out this link! I do keep the blinds shut and all that, but I cannot stand being cool. With my circulatory disorders I get cold very quickly and then I cannot fall asleep at all because I shiver too much lol. My one daughter sleeps with a fan on low, she always has since she was a little kid. It's like having a 'white noise' machine as that the constant drone blocks out all other noises outside of the room. I can't use a fan or air conditioning, my Dr says I should stay away from any chill since it affects me so much. Thanks for the link!!

yes those are all important things that is for sure. I can sleep through all of them though, as long as I have a fan I can sleep, I can sleep through noise and with the lights on.

Yep, we have our bedroom at about 17-22 degrees celcius all year round, and it does help us to sleep better.
Our window is open all the time to allow for air flow and fresh oxygen direct from the tree outside it. Even in the freezing winter it is open, as I can't stand sleeping in a stuffy room.
The other thing that they say you should do, is have a shower an hour before bed time, not right before bedtime, so your body has enough time to equalize its temperature before climbing into the insulating effects of a bed.

Thanks for the info Marcia. For me, I can sleep with light on. I really don't like it completely dark. I also have a fan on even in the winter. I also like it cool. I can't sleep when its too hot.
