Sleep with Your Head Facing North And, obviously — unless you have a particularly unusual body — your feet facing south.

Allergy :: First Generic Version of Flonase

Insomnia :: Toe Wiggling
A relaxed body is essential for a sound sleep. This may sound like we’re contradicting what we just said about our minds keeping us awake, but it’s no contradiction. Eastern sciences (such as yoga) have known for thousands of years that the mind and body are connected (actually they’re not just connected, they’re one, but the idea that they’re connected is sufficient for our purposes here.) So if the mind is not relaxed, the body is not relaxed. Conversely, the body has to be relaxed for the mind to be relaxed. It’s a package deal.
Insomnia :: Progressive Relaxation
This exercise is most effective when you tape record the instructions in advance, preferably in your own voice. This way you don’t have to concentrate on remembering the instructions.
Insomnia :: Deep Breathing
One of the main reasons many of us are tense is our breathing. Most people breathe very shallowly, using only the top part of their lungs. Deep Breathing allows us to use our entire lungs, providing more oxygen to our bodies, and energizing and rejuvenating every organ and cell in our bodies. It is probably the most effective and beneficial method of relaxation we’ve seen.
Diet :: Why Your Diet May Not Be Working
Once you have made up your mind to lose weight, you should make the commitment and go into it with a positive attitude. We all know that losing weight can be quite a challenge. In fact, for some, it can be downright tough. It takes time, practice and support to change lifetime habits. But it’s a process you must learn in order to succeed. You and you alone are the one who has the power to lose unwanted pounds.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome :: Diet n food for carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist causing symptoms like tingling, numbness, night time wakening, pain, coldness, and sometimes weakness in parts of the hand.
Insomnia :: Visualize Something Boring
We like this one in particular. The beauty of it is you can turn a negative into a positive. Just visualize that you are someplace that you have always found extremely boring. It could be listening to a particular teacher who was so boring that he or she almost always put you to sleep. Perhaps it’s some friend or acquaintance whose incessant talk and theories put you to sleep. Maybe it’s your work, maybe it’s your commute each day.
Insomnia :: Imagine It’s Time to Get Up
This is a neat one too. Kind of a variation on the previous technique. Imagine that you’re not allowed to go to sleep. Imagine that your morning alarm has gone off and it’s time to get up and go to work. You know how delicious that feeling is in the morning when it’s time to get up but you’re so tired and your eyes are very heavy and you shouldn’t do it but you just want to fall right back to sleep for a few minutes more?
Health :: Hypothermia – A Cold Weather Hazard for Seniors
Almost everyone knows about winter dangers such as broken bones from falls on the ice. But cold weather also can cause an important, less obvious danger that affects many older Americans. Older adults are especially vulnerable to hypothermia, which can be deadly if not treated quickly. This drop in body temperature often is caused by staying in a cold place for too long.
