Get Better Sleep

Insomnia ie. the lack of sleep has been a problem for many. Here's how to get yourself some shut-eye.

• Don't look at the alarm clock at night. It increases anxiety and obsession about time.
• Have a bath in hot water. This helps in putting you to sleep.
• Masturbation or sex is stress reliever at night.
• Don't use your bedroom for anything else other than sleep and sex. Move the television, Cd's and anything else.
• Don't use alcohol to put yourself to sleep. It produces a number of sleep-impairing effects in the long run.
• Avoid forcing yourself to sleep. The very attempt to do so keeps you awake.

Insomnia is not a disease nor is it permanent, so there's nothing to worry about. GOOD NIGHT!
