Are you sleepy during the day? Do you find it hard to concentrate at work, or feel tired in the morning instead of rested? You may be suffering from sleep deprivation. And you are not alone. Literally millions of adults may be at risk of injury, poor health and other problems as a result of not getting enough sleep. According to the National Sleep Federation anything less than seven hours is considered to be too little. Here are a few tips to help you on your way to a restful sleep.

• Set a consistent bedtime schedule
• Put your clock where you can not see it
• Use your bed for sex and sleep only
• Soak in a hot tub or bath before bedtime
• Consider relaxation or stress management therapy

Feeling under the weather? Just don’t have the energy to hit the treadmill? Try this: Tell yourself you only have to exercise for five minutes. If you don’t feel right after five minutes, stop and don’t feel bad about it. Nine times out of ten, you’ll feel better, and keep going.

Canyon Ranch in Tucson and Lenox offer the wonderful Ashiatsu Deep Barefoot Massage, a relatively new form of the ancient art of Ashiatsu (ashi meaning foot and atsu meaning pressure). The distinctive techniques of Thailand, China, India and the West combine to make this massage unique.

In Ashiatsu, the therapist uses his or her feet to create a completely relaxing and physically beneficial experience for guests. Holding onto bars attached to the ceiling to allow just the right amount of balance and pressure, therapists use foot strokes to apply flowing, deep pressure on strategic points along the spine and legs.
