Knowing more about how sleep can benefit your waking life can help you to make the extra effort to get enough sleep.  Getting enough high-quality sleep will make waking up less difficult. Recognizing the importance of sleep may provide you a clear goal to work towards, which will help you establish the rhythm of sleep and waking with greater ease. Read scientific research rather than advertisements for alarm clocks. Focus on getting healthy sleep for a better morning. Make sure you get enough sleep. The suggested sleep duration for healthy adults is between 7-8 hours a night, and getting less sleep can lead to a “sleep deficit,” which makes waking up in the morning even more challenging.  Use a smartphone or tablet app that tracks your sleep cycle to determine the duration and quality of your sleep. Keep a sleep log to analyze your sleep patterns and ascertain if external factors are disrupting your sleep. Sleep patterns are unique to each person, so you should investigate a number of options that might suit your habits. You may need to try several different types before determining the best choice for your needs.  Extremely loud alarm clocks can raise your blood pressure and jolt you more fully awake more quickly, although some experts recommend against this approach.  Some alarms require mental exercises, such as solving a puzzle or answering questions, before you can turn off the alarm. Cognitive stimulation forces different regions of your brain to engage, thus combating sleep inertia. These alarms operate within a time frame set either by your average sleep cycle or your own choice, using either sound or dawn simulation, and can help with morning alertness. Research suggests that these alarms are better for your overall health.  Dawn alarms use special lamps or light bulbs and are set to your selected wake-time. The lights gradually increase in brightness over a period of several minutes, activating your natural circadian rhythm, just as sunlight does.  Smart alarms monitor your sleep and wake you gradually when you’re in a lighter stage of sleep. They also track the quality of your sleep over time and can help you determine the healthiest wake-up time for your body and your habits. As a result, you’ll feel less “sleep inertia” and more quickly become alert and ready to start your day.  Smart alarms can be purchased as standalone clocks, wearable/fitness technology, or smartphone applications, while dawn simulators are usually standalone alarms or applications associated with smarthome technology. Make sure your alarm clock and wake-up plan is effective and manageable for both yourself and your partner or roommate, if applicable.  Make sure the volume, if applicable, is enough to wake you up. Verify that all settings are appropriate for your situation and that they work as promised. Getting out of bed at the same time every day will help your body become accustomed to waking up at a particular time. Your circadian rhythm controls your sleep/wake cycle, and a consistent alarm clock setting can help you train your body to be ready to wake up at a particular time.  Tell someone you trust about your commitment to better sleep and wake-up habits. Making a change in habits is challenging, so ask your loved ones for support in your efforts. Remind yourself, every day, of the value of good sleep and the inherent rewards of starting your day on time, like a more relaxed morning and being on time to school or work.

Summary: Learn about the value of good quality sleep on your health and state of mind. Evaluate your sleep habits. Choose an effective alarm clock or phone alarm setting. Explore alarms that encourage gradual wakefulness rather than abrupt sleep interruption. Conduct a trial run on a weekend or a day with fewer morning responsibilities. Make a commitment to wake up at the same time every morning.


Alternatively, use them from other songs if you're only going to play covers.  It's important not to stop playing This is the first step in developing independence. Try reading off a computer screen if you can't hold a book open. This will keep your mind more active than watching TV and playing. A common problem is only being able to sing the notes you're playing. This lets you learn how to sing off-beat and with harmony to your guitar.

Summary: Once you have the basics of guitar playing, try to come up with a few runs or chord progressions. Practice these until you can play them easily. Now sit in front of the TV and watch it whilst playing them. After a while, you should notice that you are playing fine but also managing to follow what's going on on TV. Next, try reading something whilst playing. Try reading out loud in a droning voice. Keep doing this and eventually you should be able to sing and play almost completely different things.


Women who are overweight are more susceptible to hot flashes. Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, coupled with daily exercise, can help you stay at a healthy weight. Always consult a registered dietician or your doctor before altering your diet.  Consume more vegetables, healthy fats, and lean protein. Shape your meals so they contain one protein source, one low fat source and one low carb vegetable source. A low carb diet can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve the symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes.  Healthy protein sources include egg whites, soy products, and chicken. Fish such as salmon and trout, as well as shellfish like shrimp and lobster are also good sources of protein in a healthy diet. Non-fat greek yogurt is also a good way to get protein and dairy in your diet. Your diet should also focus on food sources of vitamin E, which can lower the severity of hot flashes in women. Leafy greens, tropical fruit, and nuts are all good sources of vitamin E. Low carb vegetables include: broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage, swiss chard, lettuce, cucumber, and celery. Steaming or baking vegetables, rather than frying them, will ensure you receive all the nutrients and antioxidants in low carb veggies for the week. Healthy fat sources include avocados and nuts, as well as olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil. Cooking with these oils will boost your fat levels without causing you to gain weight. Cut out carbs, sugars, and animal fats. Foods high in carbs and sugars cause your body to secrete insulin, which is a main fat storage hormone in your body. When your insulin levels go down, your body can start to burn fat. It also helps your kidneys shed excess sodium and water, which will help you reduce any water weight.  Avoid foods high in starch and carbs like potato chips, french fries, and white breads. You should also avoid consuming foods high in sugar like soft drinks, candy, cakes, and other junk food. Animal fats found in red meat and gamey meat like lamb can be fattening and slow down your metabolism as they are difficult to digest. Caffeine is a common trigger for hot flashes and mood swings among menopausal women. Replace caffeine with water whenever possible. Instead of going for coffee or black tea, choose herbal tea or sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Cut back on dark chocolate, too, as it contains caffeine. Like caffeine, alcohol can make hot flashes and mood swings worse. Whenever possible, choose a nonalcoholic beverage instead of an alcoholic one. When you do choose alcohol, limit your consumption to no more than one drink per day. Naturally occurring plant estrogens may help reduce the severity of hot flashes. Their effect is not as strong as that of human estrogen, but they may still be helpful. Plant estrogens can be found in the following foods:  Soybeans Chickpeas Lentils Tofu Crushed or ground flaxseed Spicy foods are known to trigger hot flashes in many women. Try seasoning your food with milder seasonings, like basil, chives, and oregano, instead of using blackening spices, peppers, curry, and other hot spices.
Summary: Maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Incorporate plant estrogens into your diet. Stay away from spicy foods.
