Avoid stimulants like alcohol, coffee or junk food just before bed or close to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise enough during the day<\/strong> to get better sleep quality &#8211; this can mean gardening, walking, riding a bike and so on.

We need sleep, and plenty of it, if we want our bodies to work properly during the day. For better sleep, you also have to <strong>eat better and exercise.<\/strong> Water is also highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the<strong> top five tips<\/strong> on falling asleep with ease:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Exercise_regularly\"><\/span>1. Exercise regularly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>We don\u2019t spend enough energy<\/strong> during the day and we can\u2019t shut down completely when it\u2019s time to sleep. Our mind gets tired but your body is still not. Maybe you sit in the office and have to sit in the car to get home and <strong>run out of time to really spend enough energy.<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to work out\u00a0 in the gym, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/healthy-gardening-natural-benefits-of-planting-outdoors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">do some gardening<\/a>, walking, climbing the stairs, swimming and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Invest_in_your_sleep_equipment\"><\/span>2. Invest in your sleep equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We spend <strong>a third of our lives sleeping.<\/strong> So, why do we invest so little in our sleep? Itchy pillow cases, hot bedding, uncomfortable mattresses, bad pillows etc. all ruin our chances of getting a good night\u2019s sleep. Even the clutter disturbs us.<\/p>\n<p>This is why you should take your time to <strong>organize your sleeping space<\/strong> completely. This means possibly changing the mattress, get a more comfortable pillow and getting light cancelling curtains. Just get into your bed and consider what needs to be done in order for you to <strong>sleep more comfortably.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reduce_stress\"><\/span>3. Reduce stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest problems you have is probably shutting your thoughts down. Some of us feel there are too many things to think about and this gives us anxiety. So, <strong>organize your time as much as possible before sleep<\/strong> to reduce this stress and then <strong>switch your phone off at least an hour before sleep.<\/strong> All of the devices should be switched off during this time too, to <strong>allow your body to prepare for sleep<\/strong> a bit better.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Have_a_routine_and_a_schedule\"><\/span>4. Have a routine and a schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With a steadfast schedule and routine each night, you are <strong>much more likely to sleep<\/strong> better. So, dedicate enough time to creating a good bedtime routine that suits your needs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dont_eat_junk_food\"><\/span>5. Don\u2019t eat junk food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Processed food is bad for your sleep because it doesn\u2019t contain any nutrients and almost always has a <strong>high amount of sugars.<\/strong> Especially avoid it before sleep and opt for fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2053\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bigstock-healthy-green-tea-cup-with-tea-15744698.jpg\" alt=\"Why Drinking Green Tea Every Day Will Help You Live Longer\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bigstock-healthy-green-tea-cup-with-tea-15744698.jpg 900w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bigstock-healthy-green-tea-cup-with-tea-15744698-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bigstock-healthy-green-tea-cup-with-tea-15744698-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bigstock-healthy-green-tea-cup-with-tea-15744698-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the Best Drink to Have Before Bed?<\/h3>\n<p>Traditionally, there have been many <strong>drinks connected with better sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But <strong>which of them really work<\/strong> and which don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Can drinks <strong>really make that much<\/strong> of a difference?<\/p>\n<p>Possibly so, but <strong>it will all depend on the type<\/strong> of drink you get. And because sleep deprived people would try anything, you should read this list to get a good grasp at <strong>which drinks can help you and which can\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Milk<\/strong> &#8211; It contains tryptophan which creates melatonin which has a role in sleep quality. Warm milk is especially effective. However, some still believe that it makes no difference. Sometimes just the act of <strong>sitting quietly and enjoying a warm beverage<\/strong> can relax you and get you ready for sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soy milk<\/strong> &#8211; Another drink full of tryptophan, soy milk can be effective in getting you to sleep for longer and better. Soy products can help in general.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chamomile Tea<\/strong> &#8211; Known as a mild tranquilizer, chamomile can help you<strong> unwind and relax<\/strong> after a long day which will help you sleep better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smoothie that contains magnesium<\/strong> &#8211; Magnesium can help your body <strong>relax muscles<\/strong> which will help you sleep better. Use spinach, nuts and seeds in your drinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Banana smoothie<\/strong> &#8211; This is an excellent source of potassium, tryptophan and magnesium. Make a banana smoothie and enjoy better sleep.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Drinks that will not help you:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cherry, apple, grape juice because fruit juices contain <strong>so much sugar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hot chocolate or sodas because both contain <strong>caffeine and high amounts of sugar<\/strong> which will definitely not help you sleep better.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4777\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly.jpg\" alt=\"5 Tips for Falling Asleep Quickly\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-Tips-for-Falling-Asleep-Quickly-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What to do When You Can\u2019t Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>So, <strong>what to do<\/strong> when you can\u2019t sleep? Many people recommend different strategies but they never work for everybody. Here is a<strong> list of proven tactics<\/strong> that can help you sleep better:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep track of your sleep<\/strong> &#8211; Record what you do before sleep and how much time you sleep. This way, you can eliminate the activities that prevent you from getting enough sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can try therapy<\/strong> &#8211; This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean talking to a therapist, but rather teaching yourself with various techniques how to get to sleep faster and sooner. These are CBT practices that help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a routine<\/strong> &#8211; A routine will prepare your mind and body for sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use your bed just for bed-related activities.\u00a0<\/strong>As comfy as it is, you shouldn't use your bed for work, eating, or watching TV.\u00a0Our brains need to<strong> associate being in bed with going to sleep.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick a good mattress<\/strong> &#8211; Something comfortable will improve your sleep quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop smoking<\/strong> &#8211; Smoking can cause insomnia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meditate<\/strong> &#8211; Have 15 minutes each evening or day when you will focus on your problems and solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nap<\/strong> for 20 minutes during the day, always before 4 or 3pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid overeating<\/strong> in the evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower your lights<\/strong> at least two hours before sleep &#8211; Try leaving only one lamp on and turn the rest of the lights off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimize outdoors noise with<\/strong> a white noise machine or soothing music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t drink alcohol<\/strong> before sleep, it may interrupt your sleep later<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep your room dark and cool<\/strong> to promote good sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep only when you feel sleepy. If it\u2019s really late and you need some sleep but still don\u2019t feel sleepy, try some relaxing activities such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Journal about your stresses.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink some chamomile tea or warm milk.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Take a relaxing bath or a shower. Add lavender oil to your bath water or place a few drops near the faucet for a shower.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Count to 100 or backwards, focus on slow, even breathing and the numbers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Visualize yourself sleeping and relax each part of the body.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sleep is extremely valuable. It's your body's most important time to repair and rejuvenate itself.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you take care of yourself during the day &#8211; take less caffeine, eat the right food and exercise enough. Create your sleeping space so it works for you. Practice some relaxing sleep activities and make sure that you get enough sleep at night so you can function properly during the day.
