Tips for better sleeping
|
It happens to everyone, at some point. It may be just for one night, or a few nights - or it could go on for years. Not sleeping properly can have a devastating effect on your life, in various ways. Not only is it infuriating, lying there, staring up at the ceiling for hours on end, trying to get comfortable on that old mattress, but it can seriously affect the way you function.
Research states that 1 in 5 people suffer from a lack of sleep, whether it is insomnia or frequent waking throughout the night. For many, a good night's sleep is an everyday occurrence; for others, it can be maddeningly elusive, and no matter how many techniques they try, it stays out of reach.
If drifting off to sleep is a problem, then there are various things to try. Of course, almost everyone will have tried that old cliche, counting sheep - but what else is there?
Avoid drinking before bed: While many may find that a warm drink (milk or a malted milk drink) may help them feel relaxed, taking in fluids before hitting the mattress can keep you awake by prompting a trip, or several, to the toilet.
Keep the room cool and dark: It may seem obvious that being too hot or cold can make sleeping more difficult, but some people may not give it serious consideration. If you're too hot, a fan may be a good idea and will help to block any disruptive noise from the street or a nearby road.
Get up: If fifteen to twenty minutes have passed with no sleep, then the best thing is to get up. Lying on that mattress trying to force sleep requires concentration, which will only make you more alert. Try reading a book or walking around a little, and only get back into bed when you feel ready. If constant lack of sleep is a problem, then professional advice should, of course, be sought. |
