How Do I Stop My Tossing and Turning and Get a More Restful Night’s Sleep?

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Okay, how do you wake up and not toss in turn? That is one of the most common questions that I get. So you have to begin with the end in mind. Let me explain. I often ask my patients, how long can you lie on the couch on your side and watch tv? They'll say, well, I mean, I can maybe I can stay in that position for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes? Well, you are correct because the reason we toss and turn is because our body's in pain. So when you sleep on your side, your body can only stay in that position for a certain period of time. And you are not beginning with the end in mind. You're basically setting yourself up to toss and turn all night long because your body's is going to be uncomfortable. You're going to end up with shoulder pain, you'll end up with hip pain. And our body is a product of what we do on a ritualistic basis. So you want to start with the end in mind. You want to start in a neutral sleeping position that's lying on your back with your arms down by your side, your legs out, the end of the covers and a pillow supporting your neck, not your head. And then what you end up doing is you're distributing your body weight over the greatest surface area. And by doing that, your body, you're going to be able to fall asleep. You'll be able to stay asleep, and then you'll also be able to wake up well rested because you won't toss in turn all night long. Try it. It takes some getting used to because most of us are side sleepers. But once you start to sleep on your back in that neutral sleeping position, you'll end up waking up well rested and stop tossing and turning.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week, I take all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next reading. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try.
