Know when to give up and move on

We wake up at night for many various reasons. Some of them are:

1. Having a nightmare
2. Distracting loud noises
3. Sleep apnoea
4. Nocturia (excessive nighttime urination).

However, it is important to let your practitioner know your sleeping habits so that they may analyse whether you have an underlying medical condition.

• Food and drinks that are bad for your sleep: Alcohol, caffeine, sugary-food (chocolate, gummy bears, etc.), spicy and acidic food (jalapeno poppers, spicy Cheetos etc.)
• Pro-sleep food and drinks: Wholegrain cereal and milk, toast with peanut butter, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats.

Once you know and understand the author’s message, you’ll read faster and then move on to the next one.

Once you’ve taught yourself to speed read at a decent pace, and have some books you want to work through, you need an ideal reading environment.

Distraction is everywhere.

Separate yourself from everything that distracts you.

Think of how much solitude you’ll need, then double it.
