5 Simple Tips for Better Sleep

Posted on at


Sleep-hygiene”, that’s what they call it when you follow proper sleeping practices and habits. By ‘they’ I mean the scientists and researchers. Many people think that sleep is something we cannot control, especially good sleep. They cannot be more wrong. How so? Here are some tips which will put you in control of your sleep, proving you wrong.

#1. No Chemical Interference,

 For better sleep, the simplest tip is to avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and other chemicals that are capable of interfering with our sleep. It is a known fact that caffeine keeps you awake, so stay away from it a few hours before bedtime, as simple as that. Same goes for nicotine and alcohol

#2. Sleep When you are Really Tired

 Instead of struggling to sleep, why not just fall in to sleep, unaware. After all, that is the best kind of sleep. Struggle for sleep arouses frustration. So, if you are not asleep within 20 minutes or so, just get out of bed and do something relaxing, until you are truly tired and then sleep like a baby.

#3. Do Not Keep Your Eyes Glued to the Clock

 Staring at the clock across the wall when you are trying to sleep does not help at all. It increases stress which means sleep deprivation. If it’s in your habit then sleep at a place where you do not face the clock, or vice versa.

#4. Light to the Rescue

Natural light cycle is good for your natural sleep cycle. So, sleep in a room where light can enter the room first thing in the morning. Let Sun make your job easier.

#5. Set Your Internal Clock and Avoid Sleepless Nights

 If you sleep and wake-up at a fixed time, or time interval, your body will set an internal clock, which will help you fall asleep more easily on a daily basis. If you wake up at a fixed time every day, even if you couldn’t get enough sleep, means that you’ll fall even more easily into sleep, deeper and more sound than ever.
