Just get some decent sleep! According to the UK’s University of Warwick, the mental and physical improvements of better sleep are similar to what lottery winners felt after landing a quarter-of-a-million-dollar jackpot!  

The study on over 30‑thousand people lasted 4-years. And those who made positive changes to their sleep habits were significantly happier and healthier than those who relied on sleeping pills.

Here’s how to fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply without pills: Break out your gratitude journal! According to the Journal of Health Psychology, people who spent a couple minutes jotting down the things they were thankful for – even every other day – got deeper, more restful and restorative sleep within two weeks. It works because it reminds you of what’s RIGHT in your life. And that blocks negative, worrying thoughts that interfere with sleep. So try it! Every other day before bed, write down a few things you’re grateful for. Within 2 weeks, you should be sleeping better.

What’s the very best way to boost your overall health? Keep a regular schedule for eating, sleeping, exercising and taking medication. That advice comes from Dr. David Agus. He’s one of the world’s leading cancer doctors. Dr. Agus says, when we maintain a regular schedule, we’ll feel more energized and our health will automatically improve. And because our body expects certain things at certain times, we’ll sleep better, have better digestion and keep our body rhythms in sync.

Put a pot of Gerbera daisies in your bedroom! Most plants release oxygen during the day, but these daisies release it at night. So they can help you sleep better. Plus, a study from NASA found Gerbera daisies are one of the most effective plants at removing benzene from the air. That’s a chemical in household products linked to headaches, eye irritation, and even cancer. And put the Gerbera daisies by a window, because they need sun. And when the blooms droop and die, pinch them off to stimulate new growth.

How can you wake up happy and ready to tackle the day?

Keep flowers on your nightstand! Harvard psychology professor Dr. Nancy Etcoff says any fresh flowers are such a mood-booster, they can even prevent workday blues. Fresh flowers also reduce anxiety and stress, two major sleep disruptors – which means, you’ll be sleeping better and waking up happier within a few days. But replace the flowers when they start to wither and turn brown. Otherwise, they can make you feel that time is slipping away and things are out of control in your life.

Here’s how to get a better night’s sleep.

The secret to a good night’s sleep may be painting your bedroom walls blue!
According to a study, people whose bedrooms are painted light blue get the most sleep – an average of 7 hours and 52 minutes a night. And here’s why those blue walls do the trick… It’s because we have special receptors in our eyes that control our sleep / wake cycle – and they’re most sensitive to the color blue. The worst color to paint your bedroom? It’s red – which stimulates our adrenaline. People in red bedrooms only managed to get less than 6 hours of sleep a night.

Here’s a reason you could be tired.

According to a report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, having too many choices can cause you to feel tired. Whether it’s trying to pick from all the coffee choices at Starbucks or pain relievers at the drug store, having to consider too many options – good or bad – can be exhausting.

So what can you do? Once you find something you like, stick with it instead of second-guessing yourself. When you feel more content with the choices you make, you’ll be less stressed, get better sleep, and have more energy.

Are you having trouble falling asleep?

If you’re one of the millions of people popping a sleeping pill – save your money and start exercising. People who exercise four days a week, for an hour at a time, fall asleep faster and wake up less during the night – adding an average of 48 more minutes of sleep to their bedtime each night.
