Can't Sleep? 11/09/2009
 
I don't know if you are like me, but sometimes I have real trouble getting off to sleep.  All those names whirling around in my head; who should be on the good list or the bad list; all the different  presents I need to make - it's enough to make you giddy!

I have a few tips that work for me:

1.  Have a nice hot drink before you go to bed (not tea or coffee!). I usually have hot milk and honey with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

2.  Try and go to bed at the same time every night.  Very hard for me because elves don't need much sleep and they are forever knocking on my door with something extra important to tell me. ( Nothing that couldn't wait to the morning between you and me!).  I think I had better get a Do Not Disturb sign for my front door!

3.  Try not to take naps during the day.

4.  Don't have a heavy meal or snack before bedtime.  Mrs Claus has made me cut down on the mince pies and I'm trying lettuce sandwiches instead - they're supposed to be soporific.

5.  Try listening to some relaxing music to help you drift off to sleep.  The one that works for me I bought at www.relaxmusic.co.uk.  I love the internet, I can buy anything I like without leaving my armchair.  Makes shopping a lot easier because as you can imagine I do get recognised quite a lot when I'm out!!

6.  Make sure you're bedroom is nice and dark, not too warm but not too cold either.

Hope these tips work for you, there's nothing worse than staring at the ceiling all night.

Anyway todays joke comes from Redda the elf:

What goes red white red white red white?

Father Christmas rolling down a hill!

Thank you Redda!
