Many people don’t get enough sleep to stay alert throughout the day.
Here are some tips to sleep better:
Keep regular sleep hours – Making a habit of going to bed when you feel tired and getting up at roughly the same time helps teach your body to sleep better. Try to avoid napping where possible.
Confront sleeplessness – If you are lying awake and unable to sleep, do not force it. Get up, do something relaxing, and return to bed when you feel sleepier.
Create a restful environment – Dark, quiet and cool environments generally make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Write down your worries – If you often lie awake worrying about tomorrow, make it a part of your daily routine before bed to write a list for the next day. This can help put your mind at rest.
Move more, sleep better – Not only is regular exercise good for your physical health, but it’s good for your mind too – and being active during the day can help you sleep better. Just remember to avoid vigorous activity near bedtime if it affects your sleep.
Cut out caffeine and avoid alcohol – Try to cut down on alcohol and avoid caffeine close to bedtime.
