We all seem to have busy lives these days and it seems that we can’t slow down. Work is demanding out every attention and when it isn’t we have to clean or take care of our families or at least try to have some kind of life. It seems that we are pulled in every different direction and by the time that bedtime rolls around we can’t seem to shut off our minds.
Research shows that lack of sleep can cause us to gain weight and it can lower out immune system. This makes us more at risk to get sick and that is something that none of us want to have to deal with.
It’s time to put a stop to sleepless nights and take control again. However, using sleeping pills that we will become dependent on is not the way to go. At least not for everyone. Instead there are more natural methods that are easy to follow and work wonders if you do them right.
The first thing you need to do is to train your body to go to sleep at a normal and decent hour. Try laying down at 9 or 10 at night. Instead of 12 or 1. The more often you go to bed at this time the more your body will automatically start to fall asleep faster without you having to force it.
Before you lie down try to relax yourself. Stop taking care of last minute chores and work and do something relaxing. Try taking a hot bath, listening to relaxing music, or reading a book.
Take the television out of your room. It is a distraction and most likely it will end up keeping you awake instead of helping you fall asleep.
Some people can’t sleep in a completely quiet room. If the quiet is unsettling to you then try to fall asleep to relaxing music, calming sounds, or even a bedside fan.
Caffeine gets us through the day and allows us to get all our work done - but there should be a time when we cut ourselves off. Avoid drinking any after you have left work. It will only keep you awake.
