Summer’s here – the sun is shining and it’s time to relax. Drifting off to sleep when the heat and humidity kick in can actually be more difficult than it sounds, especially for people who don’t have air conditioning.
Maintaining a cool bedroom temperature is just one of many ways the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) recommends people can get a better night’s sleep. Here are a few other strategies from the NSF report “Recommendations for a Healthy Sleep”:
Make your day work for you: Morning exposure to sunlight, daily exercise and a consistent routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time will help program your body to wind down when it’s time to sleep. Calming activities, such as leisure reading, will also help you relax and ease the transition into deeper sleep.
Create a sleep sanctuary: Dim the lights in the evening to tell your body bedtime is approaching and sleep in a dark room. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary from all the
stresses of the day. Keep it cool, quiet and free from distractions.
While room lights, TV, computers and other electronics illuminate our worlds well beyond nightfall and give us the ability to stay active after dark, scientists are now contemplating how this prolonged exposure to light might interfere with our bodies’ naturally-programmed sleep patterns. In other words, computers, cell phones and work assignments should be out of sight.
Have a backup plan: Lessen the pressures of trying to fall asleep by selecting a calming activity that’s right for you. If you’re not sleepy, simply get out of bed and do something relaxing in dim light. Return to bed only when you are sleepy.
Talk to your doctor if sleeplessness persists: Sometimes lifestyle changes and behavioral approaches are not enough to correct the issue. A variety of non-habit-forming, over-the-counter (OTC) medications are available to treat occasional sleeplessness.

DEBTSAFTER DEATH
The current financial cli-mate may lead some to won-der what becomes of debts incurred by the deceased as they apply to an inheritance. As far as “unsecured” debts are concerned, they are paid from the estate as the execu-tor decides. These inlcude the most common types of debts such as medical bills. “Se-cured debts” are those that are owed on a specific prop-erty that must be paid before the property can belong to its owner free and clear. The most common example of a secured debt is the mortage on a house. When property left in a will is subject to a secured debt, the debt legally passes to the beneficiary with the property.
HINT: In some cases, the de-ceased may have provided resources to pay off a secured debt in his or her will so that the beneficiary may be re-lieved of the responsibility of paying it off.

Life has its ups and downs – and adversity touches everyone at some point. But some experts be-lieve that a focus on the positive can help you persevere through tough times.
For Anita Moorjani for ex-ample, life took a horrific turn when she was diagnosed with late stage Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Admitted to the hospital as a ter-minal patient, Moorjani slipped into a deep coma, nearly dying before she experienced a spon-taneous remission and recovery. Her case has since fascinated the medical community.
While spontaneous remission of breast cancer is not uncom-mon, according to a study done by physician researchers at Dart-mouth Medical School in 2009, it is rarely seen in a terminal cancer case.
“Her recovery was certainly remarkable. Based on what we have learned about cancer cell behaviors, i am unable to at-tribute her dramatic recovery to chemotherapy. i speculate that something non-physical switched off the mutated genes,” said Dr. Peter Ko, an oncologist with the University of Southern Califor-nia, who has studied Moorjani’s case.
Moorjani attributes her victory in overcoming cancer to a belief in positive things, learning to live fearlessly, and finally loving herself.
in her new York times best-seller, “Dying to Be Me” (Hay House), Moorjani candidly shares her story, discussing the lessons she learned from her near death experience, what she would have done differently and what she wants people to know now.
Here are some tips Moorjani
feels can help others face their own trials:
Prior to her devastating diag-nosis, Moorjani’s life was driven by fear of illness. Rather than letting similar fears and stressors get the better of you, learn to enjoy yourself and take care of what’s inside.■ Much of our suffering stems
from feeling “less than.” Love yourself unconditionally and be yourself fearlessly. Remind those close to you that you love them just the way they are.
■ Don’t obsess over problems or allow your days to revolve around solving them. it’s actually far more productive to distract yourself and stay occupied with activities that stimulate you in positive, creative ways.
■ “thinking positive” can be tir-ing. never suppress negative feelings when they creep in. instead of bottling up your emotions, experience them
naturally. After all, a bad mood won’t last forever.
■ everyday joys can go a long way toward helping you cope with stress and depression. Be it a box of chocolates, a home cooked meal or a great bottle of wine, don’t be shy about indulging yourself in modera-tion at meal time with foods that make you happiest.
“What’s most important for your well-being is how you feel about yourself during tough times,” Moorjani says.
You can’t always eliminate adversity from your life. Whether you are simply expe-riencing the stresses of daily life, are grieving the loss of a loved one, or struggling with the ramifications of your own health crisis, knowing how to cope is crucial to your health and can make all the differ-ence in the world.
Positive Thinking Can Improve Your Health
is exposed to sunlight, the more chance there is of making enough vitamin D before you start to change color. And remember — the longer you stay in the sun, especially for prolonged periods without protection, the greater the risk of skin cancer. it is essential to protect your skin before you to start going red or burn so cover up and use sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15.
Sun damage happens when sun's ultraviolet rays penetrate the skin, speeding up the aging process and increasing the risk of cancer. exposure to UV rays can also damage your eyes and can lead to problems such as burning and cataracts. You can protect your eyes by spending some time in the shade when the sun is at its strongest, and covering up with sunglasses and a hat.
Use sunscreen — and don't scrimp with it. Most people don't apply enough protection and often pay the price on their ears, the tops of their feet and the back of the neck.
experts recommend that you: Use sunscreen with a sun pro-
tection factor of 15 or more.
✓ Choose a sunscreen labelled "broad spectrum", which means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with a star rating of four or five stars.
✓ Apply sunscreen to clean, dry skin.
✓ Use around two teaspoons of suncream to cover your head, arms and neck.
✓ Use at least two tablespoons of suncream to cover all your exposed skin if you're wearing a swimsuit.
✓ Re-apply sunscreen at least every two hours as it can come off through washing, rubbing or sweating.
✓ Re-apply sunscreen after go-ing in the water, even if it's labeled waterproof.
✓ Don't forget to check the expi-ration date on your sunscreen, and don't use it if it has expired.

New Piedmont Newnan opens TuesdayPiedmont Newnan Hospital
officially opens Tuesday at its new campus at 745 Poplar Road.
But before that can happen the aging facility on Hospital Road must be officially closed.
It’s not a process that hap-pens with the flip of a switch or wave of a magic wand. Moving from the old facility to the new is actually a balanc-ing act that requires keeping both facilities open for more than a week as people, equip-ment and procedures under-go a transition that allows no room for error.
It’s not a process anyone takes lightly. But, so far, the procedure is going smoothly
and remarks from hospital officials make it clear they are ready to officially celebrate the opening of Georgia’s new-est hospital on Tuesday at 745 Poplar Road beside Interstate 85.
“We’ve waited a long time to be able to welcome patients to their new community hos-pital,” said Tim Stack, presi-dent and CEO of Piedmont
Healthcare. “We’re proud of the new facility and the expanded services we offer residents of Coweta County a n d t h e surround-ing areas. The open-i n g o f t h e n e w Piedmont Newnan Hospital is para-mount to our vision of provid-ing comprehensive, quality health care services across the Piedmont Healthcare system.”
The final days of joint oper-ation between the two facili-ties are scheduled down to the minute to make sure that essential services offered at Hospital Road remain in place until those services are

Snacks
n Frozen chips: Slice bananas, seedless grapes, and/or berries into thin rounds and spread them flat on a baking pan and cover. Freeze and serve frozen as a fun snack.
n Frugurt: Slice favorite fruits to top low-fat yogurt.
Mix Things UpCombining the craving food with a wholesome one is a great solution says the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. For example, if you crave sweets, a banana dipped in chocolate sauce or almonds mixed with chocolate chips are good options.
As a beneficial bonus, you’ll satisfy a craving and get positive nutrients from those good-for-you foods.
Size MattersIt’s easy to get carried away with the size of your snacks. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that 100 to 200 calorie, nutrient-dense snacks can satisfy hunger, keep you on your weight control plan, and make your mouth happy. Here are some great tasting, portion-controlled snacks that will help keep you on track:n 1 cup sliced bananas and
fresh raspberries
n 2 cups of carrots
n 3 1/2 cups air-popped popcorn
n 5 Melba toast crackers, rye or pumpernickel
n 2 tablespoons of peanuts
n 2 domino-sized slices of low-fat Colby or cheddar cheese
n 1 fat-free chocolate pudding cup
You really can enjoy eating healthier — all it takes is a little snack sense.
STATePoINT
If your children are like most kids, they are spending more time indoors than ever before. A recent study found that children ages 8 to 18 engage in over seven hours of electronic media each day.
Some experts warn that all that time indoors can take a heavy toll on children’s health, contributing to attention difficulties, hyperac-tivity, obesity, a diminished use of senses and even a disconnect from the real world.
“American children are losing a vital aspect of healthy develop-ment as they spend less time rid-ing bikes, climbing trees or doing much of anything outdoors,” says Kathy McGlauflin, Director of Project Learning Tree (PLT), a non-profit organization that trains teachers to incorporate envi-ronmental education into school curricula. “Today, children spend most of their time indoors — largely because that’s where all the electrical sockets are.”
According to McGlauflin, teaching children to understand and value nature is vital to raising the next generation of environ-mental stewards and even to improve children’s performance at school.
Here are some fun ways to cure nature deficit disorder:■ Brainstorm with your chil-
dren’s teachers and principal about ways the school can incorporate learning in the out-doors and provide a healthier environment for students and staff that promotes ecological sustainability, reduces waste and teaches students to be environmental stewards.
■ Have your child help sort the recycling at home. Visit the recycling center to see how it all works.
■ encourage your child to adopt a local tree and get familiar with it. Revisit this tree on a regular basis throughout the seasons, recording observations in a journal.
■ Take a walk through a local wooded area, park or even your own backyard. observe wildlife and plant life, paying special attention to fallen logs to learn how decomposition works and get a better under-standing of microhabitats. Look for signs of animals including insects and plants in, on or around the log.
■ Go for a bike ride around your
neighborhood for exercise, quality time and some fresh air.
■ Plant a garden together to improve your family’s nutrition and create something meaning-ful. You’ll diversify your meals with fresh local produce and
teach your child about the life cycle of plants. Choose flowers that will attract an array of hummingbirds and butterflies to admire.
Getting children outside is an important aspect of child devel-
opment and can contribute to stu-dent achievement and a healthy lifestyle. This school year, be sure your child takes some time off from television, video games and the Internet to explore the great outdoors.
