Every day we all feel that we do not get enough sleep and research has now shown that it might be a simple matter of
changing some lifestyle habits that have allow poor sleep to become what we now consider normal sleep.
Hectic work and family schedules, a lack of relaxation time and a general feeling of being more stressed end up
causing nocturnal tossing and turning.
Here are 10 simple rules to help you sleep better
- Avoid caffeinated drinks and foods at least two hours before bed that includes alcohol.
- Use a relaxing routine to help you wind down from the day. Hot baths with relaxing salts, a gentle shoulder
massage, soothing music etc.
- Create a bed room that you enjoy being in uncluttered with simple colours and well ventilated.
- Don’t sleep during the day.
- Regular exercise. You need to find the balance between mental and physical exhaustion. Working all day in an
office might exhaust you mentally but not physically. Try for at least 20 minutes exercise, better at the end of the
day and at least two hours before bed.
- Have a bedtime schedule going to bed and waking at the same time.
- Keep the bedroom for sleeping. Do not watch TV or use it as a place of work as your mind will associate it
with stimulation and start thinking rather than sleeping.
- . Talk to your doctor or Naturopath about ways of helping insomnia.
- Try herbal Teas like Chamomile, Fennel and Lavender.
- . Sleeping comfort is one of the most critical factors in developing a sound sleeping routine and the combination
of a pillow that suits your sleeping position, your build and your bed is critical
