Practice patience.If you try to go to sleep at a particular time and your body resists, don’t give in completely. Stay up (still lying in bed) for an extra 15 minutes and then attempt to fall asleep again. Resist the urge to get angry or frustrated as this will only increase stress and keep you up longer.
Use the extra minutes to think of few dreams that you would like to have.
Avoid things that might keep you up or disturb your sleep.There are few things that might be interfering with your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. Consider what you can change to improve your sleep, such as by avoiding:
Eating heavy meals before going to bed
Exercising within four hours of your bedtime.
Napping during the day.
4 Slow your mind.Avoid dwelling on the day’s duties, stress, tension, and negative emotions. Mentally visualize putting all of your concerns in a box and placing that box on a shelf to take down tomorrow.
Your mind continues to work on developing skills during sleep via a process called “consolidation.”
5 Power down gadgets.one hour before bedtime, turn off your TV and put your phone away. Instead of watching the news, read something light-in-content.A good novel or comic is a great way to escape reality and segue into dreams
6 Relax your body.The mind and body are two pieces of a whole. If your mind is relaxed, you need to get your body to that state as well. About 30 to45 minutes before bed, avoid all kind of strenuous physical activities, essentially anything that breaks a sweat.
Try doing arelaxing yoga routine. Yoga-inspired stretches can help you to improve overall circulation and fall into a deep sleep. Start by taking calming,deep breaths, in through the nose and out the mouth.Then, sit cross-legged on the groundfor a seated cross-bend, for example. Or, simply bend over and slowly touch your toes.
