It really doesn’t matter who you are. If you have had problems with getting to sleep you have probably felt that you were under a curse. The truth is that most of us are not under a curse, we merely do not practice good habits. The following list is designed to help you achieve sleep when you want to.
Avoid Stimulants in the evening
Many people are under the illusion that they are not affected by caffeine and drink it regularly during the day, including at night. Not only do some drink caffeine, but they use other stimulates as well. All of these are counterproductive to sleep and should be avoided in the evening.
Exercise sometime after dinner
The body needs rest. However, when it is exercised, it needs more rest. By exercising not only do you tire out your body, but you also speed up the flushing of anything that might make sleeping difficult.
Listen to relaxing music at a low volume
By playing relaxing music at a low volume, your body will begin to relax and this in turn will help you drift off to sleep. While you may be tempted to listen to it at a loud volume, do your best to keep it soft.
Read a bit
While studies have been inconclusive, it is believed that reading produces a certain state in the brain which is more conductive to sleep. While this may or may not be true, many people feel they sleep quicker after reading. Just be sure to avoid reading anything that causes you to think such as philosophy.
Get a white noise generator
When you are finally ready to close your eyes, make sure you turn out all the lights and turn off anything that makes sound. Then turn on your white noise generator. These handy devices will block out most noise and replace it with a very relaxing and soothing sound that will aid you in sleeping.
While this list could get much longer, this should help you get started. Try following these simple steps to help your sleep improve.
