I may sound like an old grumpy man here but I hate winter. The shoveling, the plowing, the shivering, and the bundling up all give me good reasons to move to a warmer climate. However, for budgetary and familial reasons, I shall stay. So, I may as well make the best of it.

If insomnia troubles have got you down and you wake up every morning feeling far from well-rested, here are 4 things you should try doing immediately. Winter in Illinois is a weird time for many people, and I'm not just talking about people who hate the cold. I'm talking about the people (like me) who spend their winter days trying to keep their eyes open while longing for a warm, cozy nap and then finally laying down in bed at night and not being able to sleep.
