Sleep... zzzzZZz

So many good things happen in our body while we are sleeping and the best part of all is that we don't have to do anything and its free, everybody loves free stuff! While we are sleeping the body releases growth hormone to repair damage from the days stress. Research shows that sleep can help improve memory, curb inflammation, spur creativity, sharpen attention, have a healthy weight and improve memory. For those who are training, a well rested athlete looks forward to workouts, enjoys doing them, feels sharp, and in control during training sessions and grows stronger after. Frequent rest is beneficial to fitness.
Here are some tips to get the best sleep you can.
Go to bed at a regular time each night.
As bedtime approaches, unwind slowly by reading, going for a short walk, doing some deep breathing or meditation. 
Sleep in a dark room, switch off all lights/technology.
Get a comfortable pillow, I recommend a memory foam pillow, they may be slightly more expensive but you can't put a price on a good nights sleep!
Take a warm bath or shower before bed.
Drink herbal tea to promote relaxation.
When lying in bed, progressively contract and relax your muscles to induce total body relaxation. 
Also avoid stimulants such as coffee, caffeinated tea and coke. 

Happy Dreams...
