The following tips can help ensure that you\u2019re in a better frame of mind for a good night\u2019s rest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limit naps. Only allow yourself to take one nap of 45 minutes or less during the day. Just make sure you don\u2019t nap after 4pm, or you\u2019ll have trouble falling asleep later in the evening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Unwind before bedtime. Take at least one hour to relax before going to bed. Spend this time reading, writing in a journal or listening to music instead of watching TV or using a computer or tablet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay positive. Repeat a helpful, upbeat phrase to yourself before going to bed. Avoid researching your condition or discussing it between dinner and bedtime, which will help you feel less stressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019d like information on healthy ways to treat cancer, please <a href=\"http:\/\/issels.com\/\">contact Issels\u00ae<\/a>.
