Seven Ways To Guarantee A SLEEPLESS Night
Many insomniacs swear by the methods I am going to write about. They will guarantee you sleepless nights for many a night to come! You will wake bleary eyed and irritable and it will be impossible to live you with during the day.
1.Answer all your emails very late at night. The light from your computer and the screen are so bright that this will trick your brain into thinking it is early on in the day and so this will definitely keep you awake into the small hours. It is just like working in bright sunlight! Not only that but all those problems and scam offers will keep your brain on red alert for a long time. No risk of succumbing into drowsiness.
2.Whatever you do, do NOT get any sunlight during the day. This will make sure that your melatonin supplies will remain constant during the day so you will be drowsy and irritable thereby guaranteeing a wakeful night. Your melatonin reserves will all have been used up so you are ready and alert to face the dangers of the night!
3.Avoid LAVENDER like the plague. This has been known to bring on sleep so you should make sure that your house is lavender-free. I know some weirdos who even put it inside their pillow slips.That is kinky, if you ask me. The aromatherapy brigade will fill your house with all sorts of smells if you let them. Myrrh is another smell to be avoided.
4.Make sure that ALL the lights in your house are on, long before you to bed. No point in going to bed anyway as you are not going to sleep. Dim lighting has been known to bring on sleep and drowsiness.
5.When you go to bed make sure that your alarm clock (hardly necessary!) is in full view- i.e. right next to your face on the bedside table. Light from that plus checking it all through the night will guarantee sleeplessness.
6.Make sure that the temperature in your bedroom is turned up as you do not want to catch cold. If you do decide to lie down (not to sleep,of course!), you should be wearing woolly pajamas and not less than two duvets should be on your bed.
7.Plan all your strenuous activity such as a really long workout in the gym in the late evening.
Reading, work on the computer should be very demanding - even work emails may be beneficial at this late hour. A scary thriller rather than a boring crossword is recommended. Avoid knitting late at night as boring repetitive actions bring on sleep and you do not want that, do you?
