10 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Sleep

Sleep is important. The quality and the quantity of your sleep is much important. However how much sleep do we actually get is the real question here. Do we typically get a 8-9 hour sleep which is recommended? Or do we often try to stay awake and active with a four hour sleep? To know how to sleep is one thing but t stay asleep with no problem is another thing. The effects of not sleeping well are real and are probably some things you already struggle with. So ditch the three cups of caffeine you would use to stay awake. Instead try these ten methods to not only get better quality sleep but also to get a fresh new start on everyday.

I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was).

Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
