Tips For Healthy Sleep

Today most of very busy with our works especially who are working in night shifts because of this reason we lost some natural process. We are not giving enough time for sleep and we are not taking proper food, so we are facing so many disorders. Here are some tips that will help you happy and healthy sleep.

  • Make after-dinner playtime a relaxing time. Too much activity close to bedtime can keep children awake..
  • Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music.
  • Quantity and quality are very important. Most adults need between 7.5 to 8.5 hours of continuous sleep. If you press the snooze button on the alarm in the morning you are not getting enough sleep. This could be due to not enough time in bed, external disturbances, or a sleep disorder.
  • If you are having problem sleeping at night, try not to nap during the day you will throw off your body clock and make it even more difficult to sleep at night. If you are feeling especially tired, and feel as if you absolutely must nap, be sure to sleep for less than 30 minutes, early in the day.
  • Eat a light dinner about two hours before sleeping. Also, limit how much you drink before bed. Too much liquid can cause you to wake up repeatedly during the night for trips to the bathroom.
  • Don't forget to use our soft and fluffy fleece bedding with any mattress you choose.
  • Drink yogurt or other product that can help neutralize the harmful effect of stress hormones on your digestive track.
  • Our sleep-wake cycle is regulated by a “circadian clock” in our brain and the body’s need to balance both sleep time and wake time. A regular waking time in the morning strengthens the circadian function and can help with sleep onset at night.
  • Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows. Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses.

Industrial and organizational psychology

Industrial and organizational psychology focuses to varying degrees on the psychology of the workforce, customer, and consumer, together with issues such as the psychology of recruitment, selecting employees from an applicant pool which overall includes training, performance appraisal, job satisfaction, work behavior, stress at work and management.

Career counseling is another feature of counseling closely related to Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Counselors in this field help clients in a variety of settings ranging from schools to occupational to organization sites to name a few. One of the main goals of the profession is to help clients understand their talents and dreams in response to a career and help them create winning job skills to then apply to their career search. Many times career counselors act as consultants to companies, other times they work as a team in academic and career counseling capacities, and other times they work for a social service agency particularly working with people who need assistance in the job search process.

Usually a master’s degree is needed to get into the field. As there are not many career counseling master’s programs, many enter the field with a degree in mental health counseling or community counseling. Since jobs are such important experiences for people, having the ability to gain helpful insight, tips, and support from career counselors is a definite benefit. The career counseling field can only increase in fame as people on average change jobs every ten years, instead of 30 years ago where many people stayed with the same company the majority of their working career.
