Falling asleep may seem like an impossible dream when you’re awake at 3 a.m., but good sleep is more under your control than you might think. Following healthy sleep habits can make the difference between restlessness and restful slumber. Here are some tips to help you maximize the time you spend sleeping.
#1 Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, Nicotine, and Other Chemicals that Interfere with Sleep
#2 Turn Your Bedroom into a Sleep-Inducing Environment
Also, if a pet regularly wakes you during the night, you may want to consider keeping it out of your bedroom.
#3 Establish a Soothing Pre-Sleep Routine
#4 Go to Sleep When You’re Truly Tired
#5 Don’t Be a Nighttime Clock-Watcher
And if you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep in about 20 minutes, get up and engage in a quiet, restful activity such as reading or listening to music. And keep the lights dim; bright light can stimulate your internal clock. When your eyelids are drooping and you are ready to sleep, return to bed.
#6 Use Light to Your Advantage
#7 Keep Your Internal Clock Set with a Consistent Sleep Schedule
#8 Nap Early-Or Not at All
#9 Lighten Up on Evening Meals
#10 Balance Fluid Intake
#11 Exercise Early
#12 Follow Through
Thanks for the precious suggestions. I have severe sleeping problem. I think this can help me a lot.
