Are you one of those people who had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at night? There a multitude of things you can take to help with your sleep cycle, but before trying some of those options, simply changing some things about your daily habits may help you without having to take anything to help you fall asleep. Try to establish a daily routine that promotes a restful night of sleep.
- Wake up at the same time every day, even on the weekends
- Try to stick to only one cup of coffee or caffeinated beverage each day or drink decaf
- Too much caffeine can stick with you until bed time
- If you tend to drink more than one cup a day, gradually wean yourself off to only one cup a day
- Get outside for a short walk in the morning. Exercise and the morning light can help you sleep better
- Eat a light dinner and try to avoid caffeinated tea, coffee and soda at dinner time.
- Also try to avoid alcohol and chocolate before bedtime
- Turn off your TV, computer and phone 30 minutes before bed time
- Instead of using electronics, try to read a book, take a warm bath or listen to soft music instead.
- Just like waking up at the same time each day, try to go to sleep at the same time everyday as well, even on the weekends
If you are having trouble sleeping, try some of these tips to see what works for you!
