1) Avoid alcohol.
Drinking Alcohol results in a very light sleep and potential difficulty in falling asleep. Alcohol may also stop the mind and body reaching the deeper stages of sleep, particularly achieving REM sleep where the body does most of its healing and resting.
Reduce caffeine.
A recent study reported by the NHS showed that caffeine significantly reduced total sleep time and significantly increased the time taken to fall asleep. The effects of caffeine last much longer than most people expect. Studies have shown better sleeping patterns if no more caffeine is consumed at least 6 hours before normal sleep time.
Room temperature:
An overheated bedroom may cause sleep problems and research shows the mind a body relaxes better at temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise your are having to work harder hormonally to keep your body cool.
Beds are for sleeping.
Watching TV in bed may result in defective sleep due the bombardment of information and imagery your mind is having to take in. It is suggested to avoid entertainment of TV, mobile devices and even work around your bed. As the whole process is to training your to slow down prior to bed time and reduce the effects of distractions.
Remove the alarm clock from your view.
Starring at the clock and thinking about the time will have and impact, due to the expectation and worry of going to sleep. At times it becomes quite frustrating and begins to develop into a cycle. These worries will make things even worse. Losing the feeling for time by actually focusing on something happy, positive and joyful or even counting each slow deep breath you take as this has shown to improve healthy sleep.
Go to bed at around the same time every day.
Your mind and body love a pattern and a schedule. Teaching yourself to have a good bedtime regime will help to provide you with a deep relaxing and restorative sleep.
