Having trouble sleeping?

Trouble sleeping happens to everyone at one time or another. It is actually quite common. A night or two every now and then is really no big deal. But if a good night’s sleep eludes you more often than not, it may be time for you to change things up a bit.

Here’s a list to help you change up your sleep routine:

  • Stop eating several hours before bedtime
  • Limit your alcohol intake, or better yet don’t have any at all
  • Start getting ready for bed 30 minutes before your actual bedtime
  • Keep your bedroom dark
  • Do not use electronic appliances, such as computers and phones 30 to 60 minutes before retiring
  • Turn off the television
  • Try relaxing techniques to encourage sleepiness
  • Read a book
  • Enjoy aromatherapy masks and sprays to calm you
  • Soak in a warm bath
  • Sip hot chamomile lavender tea
  • Avoid caffeinated drinks 3 hours before bedtime

If all else fails, call your physician. Your doctor will advise you with the right protocol to get that coveted good night’s sleep.
