Are You Really Sleeping Well?
Use these tips to help ensure you are getting a restful night’s sleep.

Getting a restful night’s sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health. Unfortunately, a good night’s sleep can be harder than it sounds. With the stress of daily life, falling into a deep sleep can be easier said than done. Keep these tips in mind to start sleeping for better health.
- Know the signs of sleep deprivation. Constantly sleeping less than seven hours a night is the first sign that you are sleep deprived. A change in your emotional stability, having trouble concentrating, and weight gain are all signs of sleep deprivation. Keep in mind that sleep deprivation can creep up on you over the years.
- Know how to remedy the situation. Figure out what is causing you to lose sleep at night. Consider putting down your phone or tablet and turning off the TV an hour earlier than usual to give you the time to relax. Many electronic devices suppress melatonin, which you need for a restful night’s sleep.
- Know the signs of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is more common in adults and those who are obese. While snoring is the main symptom, it does not mean that everyone who snores has sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea pause their breathing while sleeping often, which will cause the oxygen levels in their body to fluctuate greatly.
- Know how to establish good sleeping habits. The best way to get into good sleeping habits is to set a sleep/wake schedule, and stick to it as best you can during the weekends. Avoid caffeinated drinks after noon and turn off all electronic devices at least an hour before bed.

Home Security Tips For The Holiday Season
Don’t let an intruder ruin your holiday season with these tips.

The holiday season is one of the busiest travel times of the year. While packing your bag for your holiday vacation, it is important to think of your home security while you are away. Keep these home security tips in mind to ensure that your house stays safe and sound while you are away.
- Lock up – with everything that you are doing to get out of your house, it can be easy to forget something simple, like making sure everything is locked tight. Right before you leave your house, make sure all of your doors and windows are locked, even those on the second story.
- Light up – install sensor lights around the exterior of your house so that would-be thieves are not able to hide in the shadows. You should also install timers on a couple of lights inside your house to go off at different times so that your home does not stay dark the whole time you are away.
- Pay up – make sure your bills are all paid before you leave, especially your electric bill. Not only will it help you to relax while you are on vacation, but it will also make sure that all electric systems in your house, including your alarm system, continue working while you are away.
- Check up – ask a trusted neighbor or close friend to check up on your house periodically while you are away. Having someone go in and out of your house will help it look occupied, even if they are only visiting for an hour or two.
Before you leave, take a look at your homeowners insurance policy to ensure you have the coverage you deserve while away. Contact the insurance professionals at Saks Insurance Agency in Mesa, Arizona for all of your home insurance needs this holiday season.

Safely Enjoy Halloween With These Simple Tips
Halloween Safety

Halloween is just around the corner, which means that it is time to put the finishing touches on your costume and make sure that you have enough candy for all the trick or treaters that come to your door. You should also take the time to make sure that you know how to stay safe while enjoying the holiday. Keep these Halloween safety tips in mind so the whole family can fully enjoy the holiday.
- Establish a curfew for any older children who will be trick or treating with their friends. Let them know that if they are not home by their curfew time that there will be consequences.
- Plan a route with your kids ahead of time. Choose streets that are well lit and have sidewalks to help them stay safe.
- When choosing a costume for your child, make sure that it fits well so that they do not trip over it. If their costume consists of a mask, make sure that the eye holes are big enough for them to clearly see.
- Before you allow your children to eat any of their candy, inspect each piece. Throw away any candy that is open or looks like it has been tampered with.
- If you are driving on Halloween night, slow down and stay alert. Children get very excited about Halloween and can easily run out into the street with little or no warning.
- Only cross the street at a designated crosswalk and obey all traffic signals and lights when crossing.
Having the right insurance coverage this Halloween can help to make sure that you are protected from any issues that you may face. Contact Saks Insurance in Mesa, Arizona for all of your insurance needs.

Enjoy Back to School With These Tips
Back to School Safety

As fall gets closer and closer, you and your kids may be having torn feelings. While they are probably dreading going back to school, you may be counting down the days until you can drop them off for the day. While going back to school shopping, it is important to make sure that you know how to stay safe. Keep these back to school safety tips in mind this season.
- Slow down when driving around school areas, since there will be many more people on the roads and on the sidewalk.
- Keep in mind that while school is in session, the speed limit around schools is lower than other times of the day.
- Follow all school bus rules on the road. You are not allowed to pass a bus on either side when the red lights are flashing. Even if the lights are not flashing, make sure that there are no children walking around before you drive by.
- Give yourself extra time in the morning and afternoons to get to where you are going to ensure that you do not have to speed.
- Always walk in marked crosswalks when crossing the street. Teach your children to look both ways before they go across the street.
- Never assume that drivers see you when you are crossing the road. Make eye contact with the driver before you cross the street.
- Always use paths and sidewalks instead of walking in the street. If there is no sidewalk to walk on, walk facing the traffic and as far to the left as you can go.
All of us at Saks Insurance Agency in Mesa, Arizona would like to encourage you to keep these safety tips in mind to ensure that you and your kids have a safe this school season!
