Do you have problems falling asleep? Well don't go buying a new bed or a pill right away. Try some basic things to help you fall asleep that are for free!
- Get away from TV, computer, PDA, what have you at least an hour before you head to bed. Your brain and eyes will thank you for it.
- Try not to eat or drink foods specifically with caffeine or sugar at least 2 hours before bed.
- Try not to eat or drink much of anything an hour before bed, your stomach will be churning for quite some time.
- Don't schedule your day up to the last 10 minutes before bed, give yourself time outside of the covers to unwind.
- Leave work, at work.
Once you are in bed:
- The more you think about trying to fall asleep, the longer it will take for you to fall asleep.
- Use simple relaxation tools to relax your body and face. Concentrate on your breathing, relaxing the face muscles, letting your limbs go loose...
- Get in a comfortable position, and stay there!
