Sex for a Good Night’s Sleep

It’s past midnight and you would love to slip into deep slumber. Instead, you are counting sheep, analysing why the boss gave you that look today, and why did those new pair of heels break? Well you needn't put up with such erratic sleep pattern everyday.  All you have to do is have sex to get a good night of beauty sleep. Here are more bed-time rituals you can follow

1. Have Sex!
So much vigorous activity after a long day could tire you out so much that you crash. "Combine sex with a hot shower to relax your body," says Dr Suraj Kumar, a sexologist.

2. Electronic lullaby
Play soft music or the soothing sounds of nature on the stereo in your bedroom before you go to sleep. Sounds such as that of gentle crash of waves or rustling of leaves can help you fall into deep sleep.

3. Wear socks
When you sleep, the blood circulation to the feet reduces. This is why you get cold feet, literally. This interrupts your sleep, even if you don't realise it. Wear cotton socks to bed to keep your feet warm.

4. Ban the tube
Television stimulates the brain. If you watch television just before you go to bed, you may not be able to fall asleep easily. So don't use television to unwind before bedtime.

5. Keep the sugar away
Sugar causes stimulation and hyperactivity. Unless you want to keep thinking about your boss, colleagues or world peace, better give it a skip.

There are no golden rules for a good sleep. You are the only one who knows what works for you the best. But following these tried and tested formulae will not be disappointing, if all else fails.
