Avoiding Sleepless Nights Has Never Been Easier
Entrepreneur

In our daily life, we all know that there will be nights where all of us have a hard time falling asleep and even staying up all night, which results in being tired the next day and being unproductive. I have experienced this before and I have to say I was so disappointed in myself for not getting a good night of sleep- I stayed up all night to watch Parks and Recreation (which is an amazing show), then I actually banged my head into a pole because I was sleep walking on the side of the street to the bus station to college. So I decided to do some research on how I could get a better night of sleep and I wanted to share these tips with you.

There are 4 ways that I found very efficient to get a good night of sleep.

1. Get A Sleeping Mask.

This will prevent your eyes opening to check your phone or watch TV. It will keep your eyes shut until morning when you have to wake up. This allows your body to rest while you are off in dreamland.

2. Keep Your Smart Phone 200 Inches (5 Meters) Away From You.

This will help your eyes by not letting artificial light from your device screen getting into your biological alarm clock. This means no more Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Netflix, and YouTube.

3. Hot Showers Are Actually Your Enemy When It Comes To Sleep.

We all know that taking a warm or hot shower will help us go to sleep, right? Nope, that is totally wrong. Taking a warm shower actually makes your blood flow faster, which makes you more hype than normal. Kinda like a kid who goes crazy at night, destroying their parents sleep.

4. Put Your Cell Phone Away One Hour Before Bed.

During that hour, entertain yourself by doing something else that's productive, such as doing your homework, cleaning your room and maybe even the dreadful activity of them all, READING A BOOK!!!

My final advice for anyone who’s ready to get a better night of sleep, try all these together, and I promise this will improve your sleep and your social life.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
