Restful Sleep

someone sleeping

Proper rest is essential for good health. Throughout the night, your body makes repairs and performs important housekeeping duties. Subtle forms of sleep deprivation can impair judgment, reduce our ability to handle stress and set the stage for a variety of health problems.

  1. Get enough rest. Get seven to eight hours of restful sleep each night.

  2. Lie on your side or back. Sleep on a firm mattress that provides proper support.

  3. Support your neck. Use a high-quality pillow to cradle the curve of your neck.

  4. Take a warm bath. A soothing bath before bedtime can promote restful sleep.

  5. Avoid television. Make sure the last impression of your day is a positive one.

  6. Sleep in the dark. Even small amounts of light can disrupt your sleep cycle.

  7. Give thanks. End the day with gratitude by giving thanks for all your blessings.

Remember, laugh and the world laughs with you. Snore, and you sleep alone!

 Dr. Andre Asks some important questions of interest to Bryan residents - Chiropractor Bryan Dr. Andre Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Bryan residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Bryan encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
