4 Ways to Sleep Better Tonight and Live Longer Because of It
Are you ready for more restful sleep? Here are four quick and easy activities you can try tonight to help set yourself up for better sleep:
1. Picture It
Where does your mind wander when you're trying to fall asleep? Research suggests that directing your thoughts toward positive, quiet places -- like a warm, quiet, sun-dappled beach -- may help you fall asleep faster.

2. Do It Write
Take time every day to jot down your worries or note how you're feeling. People with insomnia who did this as part of a study fell asleep faster than the people who wrote about their hobbies or didn't write at all. Writing may help you process some of the thoughts that are keeping you up at night.
3. Tense Your Toes
Cold feet aren't a problem just for nervous brides or grooms. They can cause trouble for poor sleepers, too. Try this for boosting circulation -- and warmth -- in your feet: toe flexing. To do this, lie on your back and close your eyes. Point your toes toward your head, hold for 5 seconds; curl your toes under, hold for 5 seconds; relax. Repeat 10 times. If that doesn't do the trick, slip on a pair of warm socks.
