14. Spray a sleep-inducing scent

Certain smells, such as lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang, activate the alpha wave activity in the back of your brain, which leads to relaxation and helps you sleep more soundly. Mix a few drops of essential oil and water in a spray bottle and give your pillowcase a spritz.

13. ...especially if you're menopausal

During menopause, 75% of women suffer from hot flashes, and just over 20% have night sweats or hot flashes that trouble their sleep. Consider turning on a fan or the AC to cool and circulate the air. Just go low gradually: Your body loses some ability to regulate its temperature during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, so overchilling your environment--down to 60°F, for instance--will backfire.

12. Stay cool ...

Experts usually recommend setting your bedroom thermostat between 65° and 75°F--a good guideline, but pay attention to how you actually feel under the covers. Slipping between cool sheets helps trigger a drop in your body temperature. That shift signals the body to produce melatonin, which induces sleep. That's why it's also a good idea to take a warm bath or hot shower before going to bed: Both temporarily raise your body temperature, after which it gradually lowers in the cooler air, cueing your body to feel sleepy. But for optimal rest, once you've settled in to bed, you shouldn't feel cold or hot--but just right.

11. Listen to a bedtime story

Load a familiar audiobook on your iPod--one that you know well, so it doesn't engage you but distracts your attention until you drift off to sleep, suggests Dr. Shives. Relaxing music works well too.

10. Snack on cheese and crackers

The ideal nighttime nosh combines carbohydrates and either calcium or a protein that contains the amino acid tryptophan-- studies show that both of these combos boost serotonin, a naturally occurring brain chemical that helps you feel calm. Enjoy your snack about an hour before bedtime so that the amino acids have time to reach your brain. Some good choices: one piece of whole grain toast with a slice of low-fat cheese or turkey, a banana with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, whole grain cereal and fat-free milk, or fruit and low-fat yogurt.

9. Sip milk, not a martini

A few hours after drinking, alcohol levels in your blood start to drop, which signals your body to wake up. It takes an average person about an hour to metabolize one drink, so if you have two glasses of wine with dinner, finish your last sip at least 2 hours before bed.

8. Take time to wind down

"Sleep is not an on-off switch," says Dr. Breus. "It's more like slowly easing your foot off the gas." Give your body time to transition from your active day to bedtime drowsiness by setting a timer for an hour before bed and divvying up the time as follows:

First 20 minutes: Prep for tomorrow (pack your bag, set out your clothes).

Next 20: Take care of personal hygiene (brush your teeth, moisturize your face).

Last 20: Relax in bed, reading with a small, low-wattage book light or practicing deep breathing.

7. Write down your woes

"The number one sleep complaint I hear? 'I can't turn off my mind,'" says Dr. Breus. To quiet that wakeful worrying, every night jot down your top concerns--say, I have to call my insurer to dispute that denied claim, which will take forever, and how can I spend all that time on the phone when work is so busy? Then write down the steps you can take to solve the problem--I'm going to look up the numbers before breakfast, refuse to stay on hold for more than three minutes, and send e-mails tomorrow night if I can't get through--or even I can't do anything about this tonight, so I'll worry about it tomorrow. Once your concerns are converted into some kind of action plan, you'll rest easier.

6. Cut caffeine after 2 p.m.

That means coffee, tea, and cola. Caffeine is a stimulant that stays in your system for about 8 hours, so if you have a cappuccino after dinner, come bedtime, it'll either prevent your brain from entering deep sleep or stop you from falling asleep altogether.

5. Exercise, but not within 4 hours of bedtime

Working out--especially cardio--improves the length and quality of your sleep, says Dr. Shives. That said, 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise keeps your body temperature elevated for about 4 hours, inhibiting sleep. When your body begins to cool down, however, it signals your brain to release sleep-inducing melatonin, so then you'll get drowsy.

4. Review your medications

Beta-blockers (prescribed for high blood pressure) may cause insomnia; so can SSRIs (a class of antidepressants that includes Prozac and Zoloft). And that's just the beginning. Write down every drug and supplement you take, and have your doctor evaluate how they may be affecting your sleep.

3. Stop smoking

Reason number 1,001: Nicotine is a stimulant, so it prevents you from falling asleep. Plus, many smokers experience withdrawal pangs at night. Smokers are 4 times more likely not to feel as well rested after a night's sleep than nonsmokers, studies show, and smoking exacerbates sleep apnea and other breathing disorders, which can also stop you from getting a good night's rest. Don't worry that quitting will keep you up nights too: That effect passes in about 3 nights, says Lisa Shives, MD, sleep expert and founder of Northshore Sleep Medicine.

2. Keep a sleep diary

To help you understand how your habits affect your rest, track your sleep every day for at least 2 weeks. Write down not only what's obviously sleep related--what time you go to bed, how long it takes you to fall asleep, how many times you wake up during the night, how you feel in the morning--but also factors like what you ate close to bedtime and what exercise you got. Comparing your daily activities with your nightly sleep patterns can show you where you need to make changes. For a sample sleep diary, go to sleepdoctor.com.

1. Set a sleep schedule â€" and stick with it

If you do only one thing to improve your sleep, this is it, says Dr. Breus: Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning--even on weekends. A regular sleep routine keeps your biological clock steady so you rest better. Exposure to a regular pattern of light and dark helps, so stay in sync by opening the blinds or going outside right after you wake up.

20 Ways to Sleep Better Every Night
All-natural, sound-sleep secrets tailored to your nightly needs

Your Keys to a Good Night's Sleep


Sound slumber results in increased energy and productivity, improved heart and immune system health, a better mood, even a longer life. And hey, you just feel so much better after a satisfying 8 hours of rest. But chances are, you're not getting it. "Sleep issues are epidemic among women today," says Michael Breus, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan.

Not surprisingly, women tend to get less sleep than men do overall, says Marianne Legato, MD, FACP, director of the Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine at Columbia University. Even if you don't have children, levels of sleep-promoting estrogen sink regularly during menstruation and then permanently in menopause. And symptoms related to both--cramps, headaches, hot flashes, and night sweats--also disrupt slumber.

But experts agree that these biological facts don't mean that sleep deprivation has to be your destiny. "Feeling tired should never be considered normal," says Dr. Breus. Yet there are no stock sleep solutions, either: Finding out what works for you takes some trial and error, but it's well worth it, says Lawrence Epstein, MD, chief medical officer of Sleep HealthCenters. "Sleep is a basic biological necessity--just like eating--and it has an impact on every aspect of your health and your life," he notes.

With maximum sustained winds that reached 185 kph, Typhoon Pablo (Bopha) is the strongest storm to hit Mindanao in two decades, PAGASA said Tuesday.

“Base sa nakalap naming data, ang Typhoon Pablo ang pinakamalakas (na tumama sa Mindanao),” state weather forecaster Jori Loiz told GMA News Online. “Hindi pa namin naa-assess 'yung mga sumusunod sa lakas.”

He noted that very few tropical cycles hit Mindanao in a year.

“Non-comparable si Sendong dahil tropical storm lang siya,” he added.

Sendong, considered as one of the deadliest cyclones to enter the country in 12 years, hit Mindanao in December last year leaving 1,257 people dead and P1.6 billion damage in agriculture and properties.

CEBU, Philippines - Patay ang usa ka 24-anyos nga batan-on human kini pusila sa duha ka wa mailhing lalaki diha mismo sa ilang panimalay sa sitio Buli sa Barangay Duljo- Fatima ning siyudad sa Sugbo kagahapon sa udto.

Ang biktima mao si Niño delos Reyes nga giingong tagdumala sa usa ka internetan sa iyang igsuon.

Matod sa iyang kapuyo nga si Jessica Sunga nga nakasaksi sa maong panghitabo, padulong na unta silang mogawas sa kwarto aron ihatod siya sa biktima, apan kalit lang nga adunay misulod nga duha ka mga lalaking adunay taptap sa ilang mga nawong ug gipusil si delos Reyes.

Dugang niya nga gitukmod siya sa usa sa mga gunman dayong pusil ngadto sa iyang kapuyo gamit ang kalibre 45 nga armas, ang usa maoy mibarog nga lookout.

CEBU, Philippines - Patay nang nakit-an nga nagbuy-od ug naputos sa samad dinunggaban ang kalawasan sa usa ka bayut sa libon nga lugar sa Sitio Guiwanon sa barangay Poblacion sa lungsod sa Dalaguete kagahapon sa alas 6:50 sa sayong buntag.

Ang biktima nailhan sa gihimo nga pakisusi sa kapulisan nga si Robnald Marzon Gonzaga, 27, molupyo sa sityo Campo sa barangay Balisong sa samang lungsod.

Matud ni SPO1 Veronico Centino ang desk officer sa Dalaguete Police dihang nahinabi sa Banat News usa ka Pablo Ireneo ang unang nakadiskubre sa biktima dihang naagian niya kini sa lugar. Nag-ubo pa sa kasagbutan ang biktima dihang naabtan sa grupo nila ni SPO1 Nicomedes Alinabon ug mga kaubanan.

Based on the latest NDRRMC report, Pablo has affected at least 57,501 persons in the Visayas and Mindanao. Of this number, 53,441 have trooped to evacuation centers.

There is no evacuation center in Compostela Valley, the site of the landslide, according to the NDRRMC's 12 nn update.

Disaster officials said the typhoon, nonetheless, has affected at least 105 persons in Compostela Valley. In its 11 am report, the state weather bureau placed the province under Storm Warning Signal No 2, which means Pablo is battering it with winds of 61 to 100 km/h.

COMPOSTELA VALLEY, Philippines (UPDATED) â€" Three people, including a young mother and her baby, died after Typhoon Pablo smashed through Compostela Valley on Tuesday, December 4.

Valentin Pabillana, stepfather of two of the victims, said a landslide buried their house in Sitio Calupugon, Barangay Maparat in the town of Compostela at around 9 am. Compostela is one of the towns in the province of Compostela Valley.

The victims were identified as Nelia Francesciti, 20 years old; her 11-month-old son Budoy; and her sister Rosi, 12 years old.

"When the landslide happened, all that we can do was to save ourselves," Pabillana said.

The victims' bodies presently lie at the village basketball court. "No one came, not even the government. We are planning to bury them in a few hours because the bodies would start to smell," Pabillana added. (More images from Compostela Valley below)

MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) â€" Typhoon "Pablo" (international name: Bopha) killed at least 7 people on Tuesday, December 4, as the strongest storm to hit the country this year forced more than 50,000 to seek refuge in emergency shelters, officials said.

Six people were killed, including an elderly woman who was crushed to death when a tree fell on her house, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted rescue officials as saying Tuesday afternoon. The AFP said the officials did not identify the other 5 or say how they had died.

It's not clear if the 6 already include the 3 members of a family who died in Compostela town, Compostela Valley.

At around 6 pm Tuesday, the local Army told reporters that a soldier died in a flashflood in New Bataan town, Compostela Valley. At least 20 people were also reported missing in the town.

Four fishermen were also reported missing off Mindanao's east coast, said Freddie Bendulo, planning and development officer of Davao Oriental province.

Capt Severino David of the Army's Eastern Mindanao Command disaster response task group, said rescue teams were having difficulty reaching New Bataan, Compostela Valley, as many roads remain closed due to landslides caused by heavy rains.

He said a flashflood hit the area washing out homes and a military
patrol base. A first lieutenant was reported injured while a sergeant
was reported killed.

David could not ascertain the time the flashflood took place but said
it happened sometime between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. at the height of
Pablo's onslaught in the area.

While it has slightly weakened, Pablo has forced over 53,000 people out of their homes.By early afternoon, the typhoon had slowed and weakened somewhat with top gusts of 195 kilometers an hour, the state weather service said.

A total of 145 flights to and from Mindanao and the central islands had been grounded since Monday night and more than 3,000 ferry passengers were stranded as vessels were ordered to stay in port.

University students are well versed in coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week.

The National Post reports that for three days during finals week (Dec. 4-6), students at Dalhousie University can spend some time with therapeutic dogs, which are being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada.

"It fills a niche that people need right now because students are superstressed," Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told the Post.

After the student union first advertised the event on its Facebook page, the Puppy Room has gone viral across social networking sites.

"Our expectations are pretty high right now," Gavin Jardine, vice president of student life at Dalhousie told the Post. "We had 1,800 shares, thousands of 'likes.' It's gone viral on Twitter as well."

Don LeBlanc of Therapeutic Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on hand to interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room.

And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlanc says a half-dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.

So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to alleviate the stress of busy college students?

"If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you'll find out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure," LeBlanc said. "It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog."

As mentioned, the solution â€" a short-term one, according to Ostlund â€" has been to import (well, kind of import) waste from Norway. It’s kind of a great deal for the Swedes: Norway pays Sweden to take its excess waste, Sweden burns it for heat and electricity, and the ashes remaining from the incineration process, filled with highly polluting dioxins, are returned back to Norway and landfilled.

A win-win solution. A great deal for the Swedes indeed, but it is so for the Norwegians, too, who get to have their next-door neighbors (for a pittance, likely) do a dirty job for them.

ZAROZJE, Serbia (AP) â€" Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.

Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear â€" and a potential tourist opportunity â€" through the remote village.

A local council warned villagers to put garlic in their pockets and place wooden crosses in their rooms to ward off vampires, although it appeared designed more to attract visitors to the impoverished region bordering Bosnia.

Many of the villagers are aware that Sava Savanovic, Serbia's most famous vampire, is a fairy tale. Still, they say, better to take it seriously than risk succumbing to the vampire's fangs.

"The story of Sava Savanovic is a legend, but strange things did occur in these parts back in the old days," said 55-year-old housewife Milka Prokic, holding a string of garlic in one hand and a large wooden stake in another, as an appropriately moody mist rose above the surrounding hills. "We have inherited this legend from our ancestors, and we keep it alive for the younger generations."

Vampire legends have played a prominent part in the Balkans for centuries â€" most prominently Dracula from Romania's Transylvania region. In the 18th century, the legends sometimes triggered mass hysteria and even public executions of those accused of being vampires.

Sava Savanovic, described by the Zarozje villagers as Serbia's first vampire, reputedly drank the blood of those who came to the small shack in the dense oak tree forest to mill their grain on the clear mountain Rogatica river.

The wooden mill collapsed a few months ago â€" allegedly angering the vampire, who is now looking for a new place to hang his cape.

Some locals claim they can hear steps cracking dry forest leaves and strange sounds coming from the rocky mountain peaks where the vampire was purportedly killed with a sharp stake that pierced his heart â€" but managed to survive in spirit as a butterfly.

"One should always remain calm, it's important not to frighten him, you shouldn't make fun of him," said villager Mico Matic, 56, whose house is not far from the collapsed mill.

"He is just one of the neighbors, you do your best to be on friendly terms with him," he said with a wry smile, displaying garlic from both of his trouser pockets.

Some locals say it's easy for strangers to laugh at them, but they truly believe.
