Any of you that have moved into a new to you home know that it takes a while to get used to the sounds that it makes.  Our house here in Texas sounds incredibly different inside and out than our last home did.  There are lots of bugs and birds making noises.  We live near the airport so we hear a lot of the planes coming in.  And I’m guessing that because of the hot air outside and the air conditioner cooling the house off, we get a lot of contracting and expanding along our roof line and that makes the oddest sounds, especially when it’s quiet(er) at night.  Those new noises combined with the aches and pains of moving furniture and boxes, plus a lot of stress over the last week, has meant that a good night’s sleep could have been out of reach, but thanks to the Advil PM and their SleepHelp App, I’ve fallen asleep and stayed asleep.  Did you know that in a 2012 sleep survey, aches and pains were the #1 reason people say they don’t get a good night’s sleep1.

Advil® PM, the non-habit forming trusted pain reliever with the power of Advil® and a gentle sleep aid to help you sleep better, has launched a new free SleepHelp app featuring essential tips (rated by actual users) to help you through every stage of sleep – from winding down before bed to getting through the day after a difficult night’s rest.

Popular tips include:

◘ What types of foods can help you sleep
◘ Why you should sing if you snore
◘ How to create a sleep oasis
◘ The ideal temperature for sleeping
◘ How to handle noisy partners
◘ And more.

Also, the SleepHelp app helps you understand your personal sleep patterns and sleep routines to help you sleep better and get more out of your days.  The app’s Sleep Better alarm features recommended sleep times and Wind Down Alerts based on your desired wake up time and individual circadian rhythm.

You can download the FREE SleepHelp sleep app from Advil® PM now (iTunes & Android), and start getting the most out of every night and a coupon for Advil® PM.

I really like that Advil PM is non-habit forming because there certainly are nights where I need it to get a proper night’s rest, but I don’t want to take anything that I could become dependent on in order to fall and stay asleep.  When the body is free of pain and the stress levels are down, using the SleepHelp app alone should allow me to settle in to the routines that allow me to wind down and sleep fitfully. 

Advil® PM wants you to have a good night’s sleep too – and so they are running a giveaway for my readers for a rest & relaxation package that includes:  Samples of Advil® PM, fleece blanket, memory foam neck pillow, hot/cold gel eye mask and a book light.

  3. IF YOU CAN’T FALL SLEEP, GET UP!
    If you can’t fall asleep within 45 minutes, get up! You can’t force it. Instead, go to another room and find something relaxing to do, like reading a book, or listening to quiet, soothing music with the lights low. When you get sleepy, return to bed and try again.

  4. I like their pain relief stretches – I'll try this one tonight 1. Neck stretch: Sit on floor with legs crossed.

  6. DEAL WITH YOUR PARTNER’S SCHEDULE
    If you and your partner’s body clocks or work schedules don’t synch up, there are solutions. If you prefer to hit the pillow early, give yourself enough time to get to sleep before your night owl comes in. Earplugs will help block out any unintentional noise he or she will make getting to bed.

  7. Think Positive

    Try this positive thought technique before going to sleep: 1. Relax by taking a few deep breaths, 10 seconds each 2. Clear your mind of any issues, responsibilities, or negative thoughts 3. Concentrate on a goal you want to achieve within the next six months 4. As you drift off to sleep, think about how you would feel if you have already achieved your goal 5. Repeat this technique every night for a week.
