Feeling tired all the time is not normal. By this we do not mean that those who sleep a few hours live in any case an unfortunate condition. Each has its own balance.
But it is important to define the time slot in which the body requires to rest .
The hours of sleep should coincide with the darkness not so much for a reason linked to the benefits of sunlight, but also because in almost all ancient traditions (Chinese medicine, ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, etc.) the night time slots are "manned" from certain organs, viscera and sense organs .
An example? In Chinese medicine, the maximum energetic time of the liver ranges from 1 to 3. Think about how much alcohol adults and young people take at this time.
The filter organ is ready to enjoy the embrace of Morpheus and we give him an anomalous wave of alcohol. Upon awakening there can be no feeling of invasive fatigue.

In America, those who sleep little and fail to rest with benefit are classified as "chronically sleep deprived" . Often, if we look behind this disorder, we find an excess of foods that overload the liver (on the subject we invite you to find out when the liver itself requires purification), alcohol, smoking, computer and television data stimuli or other devices.

- difficulty concentrating;
- metabolic problems (especially glucose);
- high pressure;
- fragility of the immune system.

Eating habits should go towards a will to sanitize the body. It is not bad to periodically abolish sugar, alcohol, coffee or industrial foods. Not only that you eat slowly . Make the meal a meditation because the ability to sleep well and digestion go hand in hand . After 10 pm, turn off cell phones, TVs, computers, at least for a while, to see the effect it makes, especially on your nervous system.
An interesting detail: in NLP "anchoring" is a phenomenon that occurs when an emotion is tied to a place or an object when it is charged with emotion. In this sense, certain habits should be avoided: watch TV or read in bed .
It is good for your brain to connect the place of rest to the bed. So, from time to time, via the remote control and on the ground the book.
