Biggest challenge: Me: *adjusts pillow* Do you ever sleep so well that you wake up forgetting which way the room is facing? I haven't had that kind of sleep in a long while. Unfortunately, I have very bad bedtime habits. But I'm trying really hard to break them. I walk away from my computer at least 30 minutes before I hop into bed. That also means no TV, no Ipad or any other form of interactive technology. It's so damn hard I know. I'm trying to replace that extra time with reading. Well,… on my Kindle. Shame on me. But it's so much easier to hold, and I don't have to fight with it to keep it open because the pages are stiff. Me: *adjusts pillow some more*

Favourite paragraph:
“Exercise also helps with sleep, and your physiotherapist can work with you to develop a program to increase your activity. Engaging in exercise under the advice of a physiotherapist has the added benefit of helping to work out in a way that minimises the strain to your body, thus reducing the risk of injuries that could also disrupt your sleep. For a restful night and a stress free day you could also try a few relaxation exercises as well. This is highly recommended if you wake up during the night and can’t get back to sleep.”
