7 Surprising Facts About Sleep

Can’t sleep? You have plenty of company. About half of all adults experience insomnia on occasion, and 1 in 10 battle insomnia on a regular basis, according to the Cleveland Clinic. If you fall into one of those groups, chances are you’re already following the tried-and-true rules for a good night’s sleep: Don’t have too much caffeine (especially late in the day), don’t exercise late at night, keep your bedroom at a cool, comfortable temperature, and make sure your bed, pillows and linens are comfy. Those are all good tips, but there are lesser-known things you can try to help you get more rest.

1. Set a Bedtime Alert
Most of us already use an alarm to wake up in the morning, but sleep expert Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleep: Look Younger, Lose Weight, and Feel Great Through Better Sleep, suggests setting it at night as well. “I tell people to set their alarm for one hour before bedtime, which reminds them to begin what I call the power-down hour,” says Dr. Breus, who is also a spokesman for the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach. He says you should spend the first 20 minutes of that hour taking care of any necessary chores (like walking the dog or making your kids’ lunches), then spend the next 20 minutes on hygiene (washing up, brushing your teeth, etc.), and save the last 20 minutes before bed for relaxation. You don’t necessarily have to meditate, if that doesn’t appeal to you; you can also do deep breathing exercises, read a book or even watch a little TV (as long as it’s not too stimulating).

For the last two weeks the website was down for a few hours almost every day. If you arrived through a search engine, a link from another website, or just by typing the address for any page at SuccessCoinsciousness.com, you might have arrived to a blank page.

The server had problems fixing the issue, and in spite of email messages and telephone calls the problems continued. Sometimes it was possible to access the website, and sometimes there was just a blank page. I even couldn’t access this blog to add new posts. Finally I decided to leave the hosting company and find another one. For various reasons, I prefer not to disclose the name of my previous hosting company.

After making a search I found a hosting company with a really good hosting plan, and with a lot of useful tools, which can let in many more visitors, especially as I intend to expand the website and bring in many more visitors.

Finally, I have moved the website to the new hosting company a few days ago.

The move to the other company required uploading the whole website to the new server, changing some scripts, and checking that everything is working in order.

There were some problems with different scripts and with some email messages, which did not arrive, but most things are working okay now, as far as I know.

If you encounter any problem accessing a certain page, the blog or the forum, please email advise me.

I have been using an old version of WordPress, the software that powers this blog. I didn’t upgrade it until now, because I didn’t have the time, and it looked a bit complicated, so many files to delete, replace and update. I want to tell you that I have upgraded WordPress today to the latest version 2.8. It was a simple and easy process.

A visitor to the blog may not see any changes, but the changes are in administration of the blog. It is better, easier to navigate and with many improvements.

I have opened an account with Twitter yesterday. Yes, it might seem strange that I did so only now, but as they say, it is better late than never.

If you wish to read and follow the posts, here is the link:

I intend to write at my Twitter updates about the website, blog and forums, inspiring quotes and some other useful information and stuff.

In case you are wondering why the blog has not been updated for more than a week, the reason is that I have been very busy for the last few weeks, and therefore had little time writing new articles for the blog and the website. I have also a lot of mail to take care of, which I intend to read and reply. I believe I will have more time from next week.
