Secrets to a Better night's sleep

10 tips for a better night's sleep
  1. Don't indulge in a heavy meal with a lot of alcohol before going to bed.
  2. Don't drink tea, coffee, or any substance with caffeine before you sleep because it has a stimulating effect.
  3. Make sure that your bedroom is quiet, cool and airy.
  4. Make sure your bedroom is sufficiently darkened, as light from an outside source can often disturb you.
  5. If you don't fall asleep within 15 minutes, get out of bed. Only go back to bed when you're sleepy or tired.
  6. Go to bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time every morning.
  7. Think relaxing thoughts. For example, picture yourself soothed in a tub of warm water, drifting to sleep with every muscle relaxed.
  8. Soothing music is often very helpful in making you drowsy.
  9. While in bed, do not dwell on your insomnia or your anxiety level will increase.
  10. Don't watch an exciting movie, or engage in stimulating or argumentative discussions before going to bed.
