We all know how important sleep is, here are some practical tips to try:

PILLOWS:
1. The ideal pillow is one that supports your head so that the neck will be level with the rest of your spine.
2. Always use one appropriate pillow, never two.
3. Remember to replace your pillow every 2-3 years. You spend up to 8 hours a night lying on it. That equates to a third of your life!
4. If in doubt, have your pillow checked by your chiropractor.

BED:
1. A good supportive bed and pillow are essential for good quality rest and healing.
2. Sleep on a firm, supportive mattress. It should not be too hard or too soft, but just firm enough to hold your body level, while soft enough so that your shoulders and hips depress into the mattress.
3. Getting out of bed: roll onto your side, bring your feet up, knees and ankles together. Use your upper body to help lift you out.
4. Getting into bed: perform in reverse, the order as above.

REST:
1. Ensure you get plenty of sleep to allow your body to recuperate and heal
2. Side sleepers: with legs flexed slightly but not drawn up tightly into your chest.
3. Back sleepers: place cushion under knees to slightly lift, and take pressure off the lower back.
4. Never sleep on your stomach!
5. Don’t sleep sitting in a chair.
6. Do not watch television in bed before going to sleep. It makes it difficult for your mind to switch off and rest properly.
7. Set aside a special time each day for complete mental and physical relaxation. It is important in restoring and maintaining optimum health.
