"Research shows that regular aerobic exercise, such as a brisk walk or a heart-pumping Zumba class, can make it easier to fall asleep." Jenna Bergen for Prevention Magazine
Another reason to exercise! According to this article in the March 2013 Prevention Magazine, exercise can even make good sleep possible after menopause. I agree that exercise helps with getting a good night's sleep, and so does peace of mind. There can be so many aggravating things about being a caregiver, and - in preparing for a talk I am giving soon on gratitude, I was reminded that the practice of appreciation is one way to have peace of mind. When one looks for what to appreciate about any/all situations, then one is turned from frustration to what is right about the situation. One cannot be both appreciative and unhappy. So, what is there about your caregiving situation that is right? It can be simple things, like: the way he or she smiles occasionally, the way I got to sleep in a bit this morning, the way that outing went okay, that he or she has not fallen today. What is right in your life?
