7 Tips To Improve Your Sleep by sammytee30(m): 6:57pm On Mar 21, 2016
Here are 7 tips to help you improve your sleep so
that you may say bye-bye to the depressing
sleepless nights you spend tossing and turning and
cursing your fate:


Set a schedule

Bedtime doesn’t always have to be for children. Hit
the sack at the same time every night and get out
of it at the same time every morning. For bedtime,
pick a time when you are usually deliriously
exhausted, so that you may fall asleep as soon as
you get in bed. Try not to break this routine, even
on weekends when it is most tempting to stay up
late.


Say no to naps

Power napping is known to be helping you get
through your eventful day, but if you find it hard to
fall asleep at your bedtime, rejecting even short
catnaps may prove helpful. However, napping
wisely can actually prove beneficial.


Slow down on the alcohol

While you may want to argue that the nightcap
really makes it feel easier to fall asleep, a little later
in the night, when your buzz wears off, your sleep
is more likely to be disturbed.


Make your bed super comfortable

Make sure you have enough room to stretch and
turn comfortably. Also, many people love sleeping in
a bed full of pillows-keep them. Purchase a new,
perhaps medicated mattress so that you don’t have
to experience sore back or aching shoulders/neck.
Test with different levels of mattress firmness,
foam or egg crate toppers, and pillows that provide
more or less support.


Keep your room cool

The temperature of your bedroom also affects how
well or for how long you sleep. Most people sleep
best in a slightly cool room (Aim for somewhere
between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit) with
adequate ventilation.A room that’s too hot and a
room that’s too cold can both interfere with quality
sleep.


Turn off your television and computer early

A lot of people watch the television to relax at the
end of the day. However, this does not only
suppress melatonin production (a hormone that
anticipates the daily onset of darkness), but
watching the telly can actually excite the mind,
rather than relaxing it! Instead, try listening to
music, to audio books or practicing relaxation
exercises.


Avoid a heavy dinner

When you’re asleep, your body pauses all the
processes (except for respiration, for obvious
reasons). Forcing your body to be digesting while
you sleep will surely keep you up at night.
