Are You Sleeping?

No, I'm not asking Brother John, I'm asking you! Do you sleep? Do you stay asleep? Sleep relies on so many factors. Here are a few:
-stress
-activity during the day
-disease
-hormones
-diet
-caffeine
Not sure what the problem is? Here are some solutions to start with:
-unplug all technological devices 60 minutes before shut eye
-meditate/pray before bed
-stop eating 2-3 hours before bed
-check hormone levels such as thyroid and ask for hormone meds if you need them!
-eat fresh foods and keep it light
-stop consuming caffeine (including chocolate) 6-8 hours before bed
-try taking melanin in the form of cherries (YUM)
-lie in savasana (corpse pose) 5 minutes before rolling in to sleep position.
AHHHHHH....rest!
