More Sleep = Lower Blood Pressure: More tips for better sleep

Your Blood Pressure thought that more tips and hints for improving sleep would be helpful following on from the previous post which gave the results of a the Mayo Clinics research into sleep and its measurable effect on blood pressure.

It cannot be emphasised enough that many of the secrets to a good nights sleep can often be controlled by changing lifestyle patterns - thinking about the environment you want to sleep in and what activities precede bedtime.

For example a combination of the escalation of fast broadband internet connection that now allows users to hook up from anywhere around the house by utilising their home wireless networks and the arrival of ultra portable wireless laptops such as the Asus Eee PC now means many people are continuing to surf the net in the bedroom - in many cases actually falling asleep whilst online. Like drinking coffee playing online games or even gambling before bedtime is bound to stimulate and prevent restful sleep. Indeed the over stimulation of watching videos etc is probably an added factor in raising blood pressure at a time when it should be at its lowest.

Previously we highlighted how a comfortable bed and good quality bedding would aid deeper sleep and it seems for many people light pollution also contributes to disturbed sleep. A simple solution would be to install blackout blinds but if this compromises your style of interior decoration perhaps consider reading this article about other types of roller blinds that dispels the myth that roller blinds are only to be used in bathrooms and kitchens.

Rather than copy the top 10 tips for sleep from JJ at Hints and Things you can read them here

Rest easy, sleep deeply and help your blood pressure.

Good Night
