Whether you are having trouble falling asleep, wake up too often, don’t feel well-rested when you wake up in the morning, or simply want to sleep better and improve the quality and quantity of your sleep.

Ten Tips To Sleep Better Helping To Increase Energy and Improve Health.

Journaling
If you often lay in bed with your mind racing, it might be helpful keep a journal and write down your thoughts before bed.

Make certain you are exercising regularly
Exercising for at least 30 minutes everyday can help you fall asleep and sleep better.  However, do not exercise near bedtime or it could keep you awake.

Do not Change Your Bedtime
You should have the same schedule when go to bed, and wake up every day, even on the weekends. This will help your body to get into a sleep rhythm and make it easier to fall asleep and get up in the morning.

Sleep with no lights and in complete darkness
If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and serotonin.

Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly sugars and processed foods
This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Eat a high-protein snack several hours before bed. This may provide the L-tryptophan necessary to produce serotonin and melatonin.

Avoid alcohol Although alcohol will make people drowsy, the effect is short lived and people will often wake up several hours later, unable to fall back asleep. Alcohol will also keep you from falling into the deeper stages of sleep, where the body does most of its healing.

Avoid consuming caffeine
A recent study showed that in some people, caffeine is not metabolized efficiently and therefore they can feel the effects long after consuming it. So an afternoon cup of coffee (or even tea) will keep some people from falling asleep.

Take a hot shower, bath or sauna before bed
When body temperature is raised in the late evening, it will fall at bedtime, helping you to sleep better.

Keep Your Bed For Sleeping
If you are used to working i or watching TV n bed, you could find it challenging to relax and to think of the bed as a place to sleep.

Read the Holy Bible or something spiritual.
This should be a relaxing activity which should induce sleep. Do not read anything stimulating, such as a mystery or suspense novel, as this may have the opposite effect.

The quality and quantity of your sleep can make all the difference in keeping your immune system strong and giving you the energy to accomplish your work. Life is challenging, so take time out and recharge yourself.
