How to Stay Young – Have a Good Laugh and a Long Sleep

Adventures in living a healthy, juicy life

by Cheryl Ragsdale

Sometimes, the best answer is the easiest one.

How do you stay young forever – or at least for as long as possible?

A good laugh and a long sleep. That’s certainly simple enough.  The trick is to set up your life to allow time to laugh and enjoy the people around you.  Having a good day leads to sleeping well at night.

What changes can you make to laugh more and sleep better? I love to hear from you! Please leave your answers and thoughts in the comment box located about half-way down on the right hand side of this post.

A good laugh and a long sleep
are the best cures in the doctor’s book.

I found many supportive words of wisdom when I clicked through to check out Joe Tichio’s contribution to this week’s “Stay Young from the Inside Out” blog carnival.

The opposite – gossiping and complaining – will sour your disposition and age you within a few minutes of you opening your mouth.  The aging effects spread from the speaker to the listener.  It works the opposite way too.  Happiness and laughter lifts heaviness and has listener and speaker appear more youthful.

Olivia Coleman sent in a list of amazing home remedies.  One  remedy says that eating garlic can keep insects from biting and stinging. I wonder if eating garlic works as effectively with with people who gossip and complain.  Seems to work well for Vampires…

  • Tom King presents Executive Marriage Coach – The Eyes of an Angel posted at Grow It Forward, saying, “I asked a couple that I have been coaching for a while to look deeply into the eyes of one another and tell me what they saw. The husband looked at his wife for a moment and said “I see the eyes of an angel”. What is remarkable is this is a couple who has worked through infidelity and some other tough issues and are now emotionally healthier and more connected than ever. They are learning what it feels like to be in quadrant 4 of the Dynamic Marriage Map.”

    Thanks Cheryl!
    I love sleep and being happy. I just never thought about one being connected to the other. I did hear a radio commercial saying happy people are usually healthier people!

    I think tomorrow will be a good day!! :)
    Thanks again..

    I try to practice sleeping early but work is really getting in the way of my efforts

    You certainly have the right idea here. Your subject “How to Stay Young” has worked for me for several decades. I do health tips each week and good sleep and a healthy dose of fun are two of my tips recently. It works!

    I especially wonder the same if garlic would ward off complainers. Most likely, it would influence them more so I suggest instead fish sauce, that’s a Vietnamese delicacy mind you but to me, that has always made bodies leave. :P

    I’ll talk to you soon!

      hahaha! Good one, Thu! Maybe I’ll start carrying a vial of fish sauce in my purse. Whenever I encounter a complainer, I could dab a little behind each ear. That would probably get rid of them. Probably, most people in the room would avoid me at that point – Lol! Good to see you again :D

    I totally agree that laughing gives so much physical and mental benefits. I’d like to add that it is much better to laugh out loud than to just suppress your laughter.

    A good sleep is something I’m having trouble getting. I often go to bed and spend a few hours before I can go to sleep. Sometimes, what I do is I try to stay up late as much as I can, and I only go to bed when I’m really really sleepy.

      Oh my goodness, Julius! A few hours before you go to sleep? Hmmm…if I remember, getting regular exercise is something you’ve been considering. There may be a correlation here for you. Exercising has a way of relaxing us, regulating our breathing patterns and basically, wearing us out so we can fall asleep easily. What will you do to get a good night’s sleep and take good care of your health?

    Gosh at the risk of sounding conceited I must say I am doing everything right and am aging quite well. :) I sleep at least eight hours a day and if I wake up early I still remain in the bed meditating until the eight hours are up.
