If you have trouble sleeping, or don't feel rested in the morning, you're not alone. Thousands of people suffer from poor sleep and insomnia, but that doesn't mean you're destined for sleepless nights forever! Check out these simple, easy tips that you can incorporate into your lifestyle today.
- Avoid screens before bed. iPads, smartphones, and TVs can disrupt your body's natural cycle, making it hard to fall asleep and difficult to stay asleep
- Try to go to bed at the same time each night, and to wake up at the same time each morning. A regular routine can establish a good rhythm for your body.
- Read a book or a magazine right before bed. The energy it takes to read the printed page can help you relax gently into sleep.
- Don't drink caffeine or alcohol close to bedtime. We all know coffee can keep you awake, but alcohol impacts restful sleep as well
- Do some light exercise. Exercise in general may help get better sleep, but it's better to do some light stretching than to do full-on cardio in the hours before bedtime.
