Sound Sleep / Peaceful Rest

Sufficient sleep is a prerequisite for longevity. The main idea about sleep is to get enough of it. I know people who can get by with four hours of sleep. Others require 6-9 hours and even more. The average required amount of sleep is 7-8 hours each night. Experiment and see what you require, and strive for this amount each night. A good motto for sleep is to retire early and rise early. A firm mattress is good for your back, or you can use a flat board under your mattress. This is excellent for a healthier back and sounder sleep. 

Determine the amount of sleep you need each night to enjoy your maximum mental and physical activity. Take Power Naps during the day for renewal of body, mind, and soul.
