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. Meleah  Asks some important questions of interest to Boone residents - Chiropractor Boone Dr. Meleah Asks...

Where do most Boone residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Boone newborn.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Boone chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
