Secret Sleep Aid
Looking for a good sleep aid?
Frustrating, isn’t it…tossing and turning at night…trying to fall asleep?
I might have an answer for you…if you are willing to try it. No purchase necessary.
I’m about to share my cool discovery with you. If you truly want to improve your ability to fall asleep, you won’t hesitate to try this. But just in case you need an extra incentive…I double-dare you to try my secret.
This secret sleep aid has worked for me about 5 years.
Here’s my story: After years of sleep deprivation, I was desperate for sleep. I had a job that required me to work one day until 9:00 p.m. and then the next day have to leave for work at 6:30 a.m. and work 10 hours and then it was often the 9 p.m. schedule on the following day. Sometimes, it would be two 9 p.m. days in a row. Or two or three early a.m. days in a row, following by the 9 p.m. day. Some weeks we were working 6 days a week. It was hard to get a routine.It was difficult to fall asleep.
We all know it is easier to fall asleep if you have a routine you follow each night.
Since I was not able to have a dependable routine because my work schedule was beyond my control, I needed a solution to help me fall asleep soon after my head hit the pillow, no matter what time it was each night.
I’ve heard your groans as you also sometimes toss and turn at night. And for some of you, it is a regular almost nightly occurence. Maybe it is not from an undependable work schedule. Maybe it is a new baby. Or maybe it is a child that has nightmares. Or any myriad of possibilities that are preventing your falling asleep at night.
Assuming you have checked out other possibilities…like no caffeine late in the day or evening…or an illness that is causing great pain that is preventing sleep. That is a different story. We can talk about that special circumstance if you would like…
But for now, let’s stick with this scenario…
I want you to have your best life possible and I know that sleep is one way to help you to have the best outlook on your life, no matter what challenges you face. I want you to know my secret so you can get some relief…so you can feel your best…so you can do your best…so your work, family, church, neighborhood relationships have the best possible chance of being great (not just good). So all of your life just “works” better! A life coach likes to help people figure out ways to be their best self (by God’s design).
With all that said, here’s the secret…
After you have made the room dark and cool and as quiet…
Fluff your pillow.
Lie down on your bed.
Close your eyes.
And
Smile.
Then…
Keep smiling.
That is really what I said.
Smile.
Keep smiling.
And think of how much Jesus loves you.
And imagine Him reaching His arms toward you in love.
And before you know it, it is morning.
Don’t laugh. Well, laugh if you want…because it IS funny…but is also works. It works for me and it will work for you if you give it an honest try.
God says in the Bible that a joyful heart doeth good like medicine. So…smiling will affect the way you look at your life and it will tell your heart that you are joyful and before you know it, you are looking at life differently. And your life “feels” better, even if nothing has changed…(except that you are smiling more). 🙂
Bottom line: I want you to be able to get a better night’s sleep. Like me.
Let me know if I can help. Here is some of what I do..
