How to Sleep Better?
Ellen's Ringing In The Ears Hint For The Day: Avoid caffeinated or alcohol drinks shortly before bedtime because these may interrupt your normal sleeping routine.
Lots of people have trouble sleeping, but there are ways to end that vicious sleepless pattern. Relaxation before bedtime is necessary for a good night sleep. But people who have problems have difficulty relaxing. Yoga and meditation can help in this case. Turn off the lights and sounds. You cannot sleep in a noisy environment. Shut the windows and turn off the television. Our bodies are tuned to sleep when it’s dark so lamps burning at night won’t help.
Sleep in comfortable environment. Fix your bed before bedtime. Your bedroom should not be too cold or too hot. Set your AC or heater at an optimum temperature setting. Taking a warm bath before bedtime or immersing your feet in warm water can help you relax. Exercise regimen or gym workout at least two hours before sleep time can help burn calories and put your body to a rest state afterwards.
You should not eat or drink fluids 3 hours before bedtime to reduce digestive system activity. Eating late at night will only cause digestion problems apart from interrupting sleep. Reduce intake of caffeine-laden drinks like coffee because caffeine is a powerful stimulant and can cause sleeplessness.
Develop a good sleeping pattern. Irregular sleep patterns disrupt your sleep rhythm. Wake up at the same time everyday to keep your sleep rhythm in sync.
