Last week we looked at why people with pain disorders have trouble sleeping.  Today we’ll look at how you can improve your sleep.

9 ways to get better sleep

Next week will be the last post in this series.  We’ll have a discussion next Monday about how you did with this series.  Was it helpful?  Anything confusing?  Are you continuing to practice all the exercises?  Which ones work best for you?  Please join in!

After the end of this series, I’m going to introduce “Monday Chats.”  These will each center around a question or topic that I hope you’ll weigh in on.  I’ll be interested to see how they go.

The deadline for your April Pain-Blog Carnival submission is 4/25.
