Welcome to the Serene Sleep Channel. This channel has a whole-hearted focus on Allowing the listener to fall asleep fast. Concentrate on the audio as your eyes close and your subconscious takes over and a state of calmness and tranquility takes over. Forget about the stressors that life brings. Before you know it, you'll be asleep.

Serene - calm, peaceful, and untroubled; tranquil.

Sleep - a condition of body and mind that typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended.

What is good sleep?
There are three foundations of good sleep. First, sleep should be sufficient and needs vary by age.
First - As a college student that means 7-9 hours of sleep a night and ideally you do not need an alarm clock to wake up.
Second - sleep should be consistent, so the time you wake up and the time you go to bed should not vary by more than an hour day to day.
Third, sleep should be restorative. You should get high quality sleep that makes you feel rested upon awakening.

Experts also advise to avoid eating too close to bedtime, as digestion slows down during sleep and undigested food can cause indigestion. Diet matters, alcohol affects sleep duration, and certain foods can be sleep promoting!

There is also evidence that a good work out, as little as ten minutes of exercise done on a regular basis, can dramatically improve the quality of your sleep and help stave off the development of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome.

By practicing good sleep hygiene, we can often actively change our behavior to optimize a full and restful night’s sleep. That’s the greatest thing about sleep—it’s a behavior you can often modify of your own volition, without the need for anything other than your own dedication to a routine.
