Sleep tips
- Allow yourself to go to bed. Practice a good and routine sleep schedule.
- Try and deal with worries distractions several hours before sleep, rather than carrying
that burden to bed.
- Develop a sleep ritual. Doing the same thing just before the bed tells your body
to settle down for the night. It is good to take a warm bath preferably half an
hour before bed time.
- Biological clock is in check by going to bed around the same time each night and
waking up at the same time every day even in weekends.
- Create a restful place to sleep. Sleep in a cool dark room that is free from noises,
which may disturb your sleep.
- Sleep on a comfortable supportive mattress.
- Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can help relive daily tensions and stress.
- But do not exercise too close to bed time or you may have trouble falling asleep.
- Cut down on stimulants. Consuming stimulants like caffeine in the evening can make
it more difficult to fall asleep. It is also important to consume only easily digestible
food since indigestion is one of the most important cause of Insomnia.
- Do not smoke. Smokers take longer time to fall asleep and wake up more often during
the night.
- Skipping late night TV is always wise. Watching too much television can be emotionally
and physically burdensome.
