Want to finally put an end to sleepless nights and exhausting days? You can! Sleep is natural and barring new babies and other unavoidable disturbances we can all get the sleep we need every night if we make some simple little changes in our lives
When you were a small child I bet you didn't have sleepless nights, did you? So why do little children sleep so well? Well, for one thing they don't go to bed and worry about tomorrow's problems. They go to bed when its dark and go to sleep when they are tired.

When its morning small children wake up without an alarm clock having had all the sleep they need. Of course they don't have to work long hours and they don't smoke or drink coffee and colas full of caffeine. What else? Exercise? Try following a two year old about for a day!

Once upon a time we lived pretty much like our toddlers do today. But once the light bulb was invented our troubles started. Edison made it possible for us to ignore night and day and to work and play 24/7. We can't go back to those days before electric light, cell phones, computers and all night shopping but we can make some changes in our lifestyles that will help us to sleep.
