It’s always a challenge in drug rehab to change to sleep patterns when someone first arrives. They stay up way to late, and can’t fall asleep. Then of course, they are sleepy in the morning and can’t stay awake in class. Changing sleep components is an essential part of any drug or alcohol rehab. What is interesting is that I was reading today, that proper sleep patterns is also essential to healthy diets. When people stay up too late or are sleep deprived, they eat more junk food. They get fatter and are more prone to depression. So going to bed a reasonable time and rising early with adequate sleep, it just plain important for you. Even if you don’t have a problem with drugs or alcohol you need to get adequate proper sleep. If you are in a rehab program, it an absolute must. Exercise during the day is the best way to prime yourself for a great sleep. Watch the caffeine as well. Too much coffee could lead to sleepless nights, which would put you at risk of relapse.
