The ancient people of Greece used to head to the amphitheater during the day to watch tragedies but only watched comedies at night. Luckily, the major TV networks and pay cable channels follow though on this tradition, even today. Take a cue from the Greeks and keep things light and happy before bed to insure a good night's sleep.I always have a 30 minute episode of a late night show on my DVD waiting for me when I'm ready to wind down for bed. Watching a funny movie, sitcom or talk show can put you in a happy, light mood just before you hit the hay. When you are in a good mood, endorphins are released that can have a calming effect on humans, perfect to relax you for sleep.
Some people are more prone to nightmares when they see disturbing images, just before bedtime. Certain medications and the use of alcohol can amplify these night terrors. Avoid horror movies and tearjerkers to keep your slumber calm and pleasant, every night.
