Natural Sleep Rhythm

Now, let’s talk about your daily schedule or natural sleep rhythm.

The cycle of sleep and waking is regulated by the body clock. Body clock is located in the brain (suprachiasmatic nucleus). This internal sleep clock is a very delicate physiological system—it is very sensitive and its natural rhythm is easily thrown out of balance by a number of internal and external factors.

Bedtime rituals (just before going to bed)

Last time we talked about the things you can do while laying in your bed (reading, singing, making up stories, etc). But there’s more.. the time just before your bedtime is very important. The things you do or do not do in the few hours before going to bed will have a tremendous influence on your sleeping problems.
