If you have insomnia, do not lay in bed for more than 20 minutes getting frustrated. Get up and do something else (such as reading a book) until you feel tired again. Then return to bed.
If your mind won't shut off when trying to sleep, consider keeping a journal by the bed where you can write down your thoughts or make to-do lists for 10-15 minutes before sleeping.
1. Most important: Get up at the same time every single day, including the weekends.
2. Try to go to bed at a reasonable hour, so that you are not tired the next day. Remember to follow rule number one.
3. Allow for at least 1 hour to unwind before bedtime. You may try relaxation or meditation techniques to help you unwind. (The SleepPhones System is designed to help you relax quickly.)
4. Use the bedroom only for sex and sleep. This enhances your brain's association of the bedroom to be a place for sleep.
5. Avoid caffeine after dinner. Some people are so sensitive they need to avoid caffeine after lunch.
6. Avoid large meals just before bed. Eating just before lying down often results in heartburn.
7. Exercise daily, but avoid exercise 2-4 hours prior to bedtime.
8. Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet to facilitate your body's ability to wind down. No TV!
9. Avoid napping during the day. This can confuse your biological clock.
regularly exercising helps you sleep like a rock. Even 30 minutes (more than 4 hours from when you go to bed) will help you sleep. There are also antidepressants, that in small doses, also help you sleep.
