Pearls of Wisdom Series 2: Getting Better Sleep Part 3

Still can't close your eyes even though it's 2 in the morning? Do you have some big thing the next day and you need to get to sleep quickly? Maybe you take naps sporadically throughout the day and stay up at night?Continue reading this article to see ways you can get a better sleep fast. I know, this sounds pretty cool eh?

If you're the type who needs sleep now and doesn't care what it takes, do these simple steps to get to sleep fast. (By fast I mean 15-30 min. I can't just knock you out, you know. WARNING THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH)

Step 1: Go to the kitchen or if you don't have food in the fridge because you don't cook, go to your nearest fast food place. (Some people may find it unsafe to go outside late at night, so just plan ahead and buy the necessary foods.)

Step 2: Pick out the most greasy, rich food you can find. (I would prefer you only do this in emergencies. If you did this everyday you'll become extremely unhealthy.)

Step 3: Eat the gnarly food.

Step 4: Wait it out.

In about 15-30 minutes your body will start to feel the "itis". The "itis" is when you've eaten a lot of rich food and start to feel tired and sleepy. The richer the food the stronger the "itis".

Step 5: Go to sleep. If you're not knocked out by the "itis", then you must be an immortal.

If you're the type who can't sleep for more than 1-2 hours at time, this could help you.

Step 1: Set a place and time where you'll sleep. I know this is a hard habit to get used to, but you have to control where and when you sleep. If you're supposed to sleep in bed and end up sleeping at work, that's not good. So choose a set place and time to snooze.

Step 2: Keep your place of slumber free of light, distractions, or temperature changes. If you can, try to keep things at a normal temperature. The more comfortable you'll feel the easier it'll be to sleep. If you live in the city and can't escape the noise, simply buy or download some background sounds to mute out all the other noise. You can use headphones or a radio. Sometimes just listening to someone speak on a station can lull you to bed.

Step 3: Turn off your cell phone. If you want to keep it on in case of an emergency, simply set your phone to vibrate. If you really need the phone on with sound, then skip this step.

Step 4: Take the train to sleepville.
