Find it Hard to Fall Asleep
Ask a Question
I sometimes find it hard to fall alsleep. Has anyone got any tips to fall asleep easily
You could exercise hard up to about 1 hour before you go to bed, i.e. exhaust yourself but don't exercise right up to the point you go to bed. After exercising have a shower and perhaps a hot chocolate.
This is what I do, not that I struggle falling asleep anyway lol. But great idea as after exercising you can relax a lot easier after x
Clear your mind before trying to get to sleep . Sometimes worries or vexing questions can keep your mind too active to fall asleep .
I have a tele in the bedroom but never use it at night in case a thought provoking program starts me thinking . Instead I read a fiction novel and find I'm dropping off within a chapter or two .
I suffer from insomnia on & off. I have found having a bath before going to bed, drinking a sleep herbal tea (I prefer Yogi sleep tea but Puka slept is nice) & reading before sleeping, all help. Also no phone/ tablet whilst in bed.
Search for my comments under deals and read them. That should get you sleeping within a few minutes.
GSM Substitute Hot chocolate , Ovaltine , Horlicks or Cocoa for your evening drink ( no caffeine ) then immerse yourself in a novel . You'll soon drop off .
Its all about clearing all the daytime thoughts and worries from your mind (not easy I know ) no better way to do it than reading a fiction book .
I often wake up in the middle of the night - specs still on , book on the pillow and bedside light on .
I can’t offer any advice to change your sleeping pattern but if you share with friends they will give you plenty. Just ignore them believe me they really don’t know! No one does. Accept that you’re unique and cope as best you can. Don’t lay in bed for hours go watch tv or play online games not gambling.
An overactive mind and restlessness usually keep people up. Finding ways to use up your excess energy, or workout stress usually helps. Meditating before you get ready for bed might be good in helping you lower the heart rate and calm your mind
I'm the same, haven't slept properly for a few years now, I always say I love my bed but it doesn't like me
I Wish I could do that but have to get up with my kids they will be back ay school soon Pjran
