Dr. Moore's 10 Commandments For Getting A Good Night's Sleep

1. Thou shalt have a regular schedule for go to and getting out of bed.
2. Thou shalt not take naps unless they are consistent, on a daily basis.
3. Thou shalt exercise regularly (daily if possible, preferably in the mornings.)
4. Thou shalt avoid caffeine in all forms (coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks.)

6. Thou shalt not take sleeping pills.  Try a herbal tea like hops, scullcap or valerian.
7. Thou shalt find the best room temperature for you to sleep in. (Most people sleep better in a cool room.)
8. Thou shalt relax before going to bed. Take a warm bath, read a calming book, listen to soothing music and avoid stressful thoughts.
9. Thou shalt NOT eat heavily before going to bed.
10. Thou shalt trust God to give you the sleep you need.
