How To Fall Asleep At Night
One thing that really bugs me is when I’m absolutely shattered, go to bed and then can’t sleep! Then I don’t want to get up in the morning and go through the entire next day on auto pilot. Here’s a few things I tried to rectify this.
You need to shut down your brain, so to do this shut down your TV, laptop or anything else that is making you concentrate. These devices are causing your brain to work and keep it awake.
You get into the mindset that you can’t sleep when in effect it is you who are stopping it. Turn of the distractions and you brain will turn off too.
If lying awake in the darkness is your main problem, turn the lamp on a get hold of the most boring book you can find. Make it informative but not in the slightest bit entertaining, this is a tip used widely by students. Once you start reading your brain shuts down.
Exercise is a good way of promoting a good night’s sleep. Really push yourself so both body and mind are exhausted. A good sleeping pattern should follow.
Resistance and cardio workouts are the best for this. Once the initial burst of energy has dissipated, your body will start and wind down until it just wants to go to sleep.
If you are visually assisted, remove your glasses or contacts before you go to bed, there are two reasons for this.
If your eyesight is bad without your visual aids, there will be few distractions and secondly your eyes will relax quicker and want to close.
The last thing is that you should never eat at night. The obvious reason for this is weight gain as you won’t burn off the calories and secondly it is another distraction that you are thinking about. Your brain will associate bedtime with food and you will find yourself getting food and snacks instead of relaxing and winding down.
