thanks for the post, i believe one can learn to sleep early by learning how to wake up early

What’s your policy on naps? I find them difficult to obtain especially when everyone else in the office simply refuses to talk quietly and let you sleep and bathroom stalls make for piles and odd reactions from co-workers if they overhear snoring.

Seriously though, is a 20 minute nap at lunch time (I’ve heard any longer will make you more tired) after a sleepless night beneficial or does it end up being detrimental?

Thanks for a terrific post. I too struggle with “turning my brain off” at night… especially if sleep is interrupted.

I have found the titles at http://www.healthjourneys.com VERY helpful in getting (or returning) to sleep. The Healthful Sleep one is a fave, but they have others too.

I have a son in college, and understand the worry you have when they are no longer under your roof! Anyways – thank you for sharing these great ideas.
