Personal Trainer Singapore – Coach Jonathan Wong

Christmas is the for remembering Christ. “Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled” and “Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!” are part of the Christmas carol “Hark the herald angels sing” and remind us of the mission of Jesus who came to bring peace between God and mankind and between each of us.

When I think about peace, I also remember how few of my fitness training clients come to me initially with peaceful sleep. If they wake up in the night to go to the toilet, if they cant sleep, if they are not rested in the morning or any other sleep problem, I consider that “un-peaceful” sleep / insomnia etc.

So, lets talk about peaceful sleep this Christmas. We use a combination of habits, nutrients and herbs to help sleep by fixing the underlying causes of sleep problems. These require a specific plan for you depending on your individual sleep problem.

However there are some things which I call “sleep hygiene” that can help you get to bed better and stay asleep better.

1. Get rid of electromagnetic interference (EM). Our body has an EM field, so interference will mess us up. Get your Wi-fi, computer, handphone, TV etc OUT and OFF and as far away as you can.

“oh my handphone is my alarm” – get a $5 battery clock… and not the blinking red light kind either, that messes you up too!

2. Get an eye mask and ear plugs – in Singapore, we have lots of lights and sounds. These are not supposed to be part of a normal human rest periods. Plug them out! In the picture below is the eye mask I use. It has contours of the face especially the eyes, this is important because I don’t want pressuse on my eyes which can mess up the eye movement that happens during sleep.

3. Eat the basic sleep aid – magnesium. It helps the body relax and prevents muscle cramps. You can get the best magnesium supplement from my center. It has different kinds of magnesium inside so that it goes to different parts of the body simultaneously. That makes absorption much better! Go to our personal training contact page and just drop us a mail if you want some.

Have a peaceful Christmas! And God bless you and your families!
