Sleep Better: 10 Tips

Whether you are having trouble falling asleep, wake up too often, don’t feel well-rested when you wake up in the morning, or simply want to sleep better and improve the quality and quantity of your sleep.

Ten Tips To Sleep Better Helping To Increase Energy and Improve Health.

Read the Holy Scriptures or something spiritual.
This should be a relaxing activity which should induce sleep. Do not read anything stimulating, such as a suspense or mystery novel, as this could have the opposite effect.

Journaling
If you often lay in bed with your mind racing, it might be helpful to write down your thoughts and keep a journal before bed.

Do not Change Your Bedtime
You should have the same schedule when go to bed, and wake up every day, even on the weekends. This will help you get into a sleep rhythm quicker and make it easier to fall asleep.

Sleep in complete darkness
Even when there is the slightest bit of light in the room it can mess up your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland’s production of melatonin and serotonin.

Make sure you are regularly exercising
Exercising for at least 30 minutes everyday can help you fall asleep and sleep better.  However, don’t exercise too close to bedtime or it may keep you awake.

Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars
This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Eat a high-protein snack a few hours before going to bed. This may provide the L-tryptophan necessary to produce serotonin and melatonin.

Avoid consuming caffeine
A recent study showed that in some people, caffeine is not metabolized efficiently and therefore they can feel the effects long after consuming it. So an afternoon cup of coffee (or even tea) will keep some people from falling asleep.

Avoid alcohol

Although alcohol will make people drowsy, the effect is short lived and people will often wake up several hours later, unable to fall back asleep. Alcohol will also keep you from falling into the deeper stages of sleep, where the body does most of its healing.

Take a hot shower, bath or sauna before bed
When your body temperature is increased at night, it will fall at bedtime, helping you to sleep better.

Keep Your Bed For Sleeping
If you are used to watching TV or doing work in bed, you may find it harder to relax and to think of the bed as a place to sleep.

The quality and quantity of your sleep can make all the difference in keeping your immune system strong and giving you the energy to accomplish your work. Life is challenging, so take time out and recharge yourself.
