Insomnia is no fun! We all know getting the rest and sleep our bodies need is critical to our overall well-being and energy level. Without adequate and refreshing sleep for your needs, you can feel thoroughly exhausted before you even get out of bed. For the most part, you have created your sleep habits and like with any habit, you can change your nightly recharging state to be far more satisfying. I offer the following Ten Commandments for Improving Your Sleep:
1. Thou shall take responsibility for your sleep and know that you are in the driver’s seat (even though it may not feel like it sometimes). 2. Once you realize you are the driver, thou shall take action to change your sleep habits. 3. Thou shall have a positive desire, determination and commitment to improving your sleep. Being persistent will ultimately change your habits. 4. Thou shall set goals to improve your sleep habits. Decide what it is you want to achieve. Determine how many hours are realistic for your body needs.
5. Thou shall create an action plan to improve your sleep gradually. Write our your goals and expectations. 6. Thou shall have patience and the reward of improved natural sleep will be yours. Remember, it can take 20 – 30 days to change an existing habit.
7. Thou shall have persistence. Don’t give up…You can DO THIS! 8. Thou shall BELIEVE that you can change your sleep habits. Your belief in your internal ability to change is vital. 9. Thou shall learn through trial and ‘error’. If one technique doesn’t seem to be effective ~ try something different. Remember Commandment #7. 10. Thou shall create a clear picture of your sleep routine and visualize the desired outcome ~ a rested you ~ waking to the energy of excellence.
To make lasting changes to your existing habits it involves not only the ‘doing’, but also involves your spirit and desire. Take time to visit The Spirit of Sleep to read and learn more about overcoming sleep challenges and insomnia.
1.Tire Pressure Check: Tire pressures should be routinely checked on cold tires, including spares and caravan (or trailer) tires. It's a bad practice to let out air or 'bleed' air from the tires when they are hot (Just after a drive or so!) . Recommended pressures have been calculated by taking cold tires into account and hence tire pressures show a higher value when hot.
2.If any or most part of the tread is worn out, it is time to replace the tire. Sometimes it might be prudent to change and then for a tire rotation cycle. It helps if you can check with your local automotive technician and then do as he recommends. The check must always extend to all the tires, including spares and auxiliary ones.
3.Check for wheel balancing and alignment regularly since irregular wheel alignment can cause considerable damage to the tires and also hamper driving efficiency by altering handling characteristics of the car.
4.The insides of the tires must be scrutinized thoroughly in case of impacts due to pot holes or other obtrusions or in the case of punctures.
5.While parking the car, avoid parking on patches of oil, gasoline, diesel, lubricants and other such solvents as they are bound to damage the tires.
6.Tires tend to last longer when proper speeds are maintained and are loaded appropriately. Unduly loading the vehicle and driving at higher speeds than recommended can be dangerous and might damage the tires beyond repair.
7.Follow the tire rotation cycles as close to those recommended as possible. This affects tire life.
8.Tire life also depends on road surfaces, driving habits and style and speeds. So it might help if you can make sure that the surface you drive on are commutable and that you drive at optimal speeds and go easy on the handling part.
9.Use recommended tools to load and unload tires on axle end shafts or rims. Check for damaged or bent rims while loading tires and use proper tools while doing the same. Non compliant tools can only mar and damage the tyres and are sometimes even dangerous to work with.
10.General tire condition has to be checked regularly by rated experts for increased life and safety of the car tires. Unsafe car tyres would only mean suicide and there is no reason to be living on edge with something as negligent as not checking for the safety of your vehicle's tyres.
