- Try to go to bed at roughly the same time each night.
- Relax in a warm bath before bed.
- Sip a herbal tea – chamomile is great for insomnia – a couple of hours before bed.
- Leave 2 hours between exercise and bed so the endorphins released when we work out don’t keep you from snoozing.
- Try to avoid eating during the last 2 hours of the day and skip high sugar foods after dinner as they could keep you awake.
- Avoid or keep alcohol to a minimum if you’re having trouble sleeping as it can disrupt our sleep.
- Check your bedroom lighting isn’t too bright, using a bedside lamp just before sleep and screen filters or dark modes if you must use a screen.
- Cut caffeine after midday, including green tea and chocolate.
- Keep your room cool to help trigger your sleepiness.
- If you can’t sleep, change to a different, darkened room, read or listen to soft music for a short while then try again.
