The quality and quantity of your sleep can make a sizable difference on how productive you'll be the next day. Here are few tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve:
1. Unwind early in the evening. Try to deal with worries and distractions several hours before bedtime.
2. Give yourself "permission" to go to bed.
Recognize that some minimum amount of sleep is essential for body to rejuvenate.
3. Develop a sleep ritual. Doing the same things each night just before bed signals your body to settle down for the night.
4. Keep regular hours. Keep your biological clock in check by going to bed around the same time each night and waking up close to the same time each morning – even on weekends.
5. Create a restful place to sleep. Sleep in a cool, dark room that is free from noises that may disturb your sleep.
6. Sleep on a comfortable, supportive mattress. It's difficult to sleep on a bed that's too small, too soft or too hard.
7. Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can help relieve daily tension and stress – but don't exercise too close to bedtime or you may have trouble falling asleep.
Maya may try to pull us from Krishna's service, and try to engage us in her service,
but we must simply persevere, and try to do as much as possible for Krishna each day,
and gradually it will be easier and easier to keep engaged in Krishna Consciousness activities.
And pray to Krishna to please keep us always engaged in the service of His Lotus Feet.
Krishna is very kind, and He is never ungrateful, and will give you more and more opportunity to serve Him.
That is His Mercy.
- Srila Prabhupada's Letter to: Shyamasundara, Los Angeles, November 12, 1968
