Easiest Ways to Sleep Better

Getting quality sleep is important. Your body and brain need adequate sleep to function. Here are the easiest ways to sleep better!

Ditch the Caffeine, Nicotine, and Alcohol

Caffeine is a stimulant; therefore, it interrupts sleep. Try reducing, or even eliminating, caffeine from your daily routine. If elimination is out of the question, at least cut off caffeine within four to six hours of your bedtime. Results won’t show immediately or within 24-hours. However, you will notice change within a few days of reducing your caffeine intake.

Nicotine is another stimulant that hinders sleep. In addition to every other reason to quit smoking, add improving your quality of sleep to the list.

Lastly, alcohol, like caffeine and nicotine, makes it harder for you to fall asleep. Oftentimes, alcohol is  mistaken for aiding in sleep. Many people report a drink or two of their choice helps them fall asleep quicker. This may be true. However, alcohol alters your sleep pattern and negatively impacts your quality of sleep.

Stick to Your Set Schedule

Your sleep pattern takes time to develop. It may be tough at first, but it is well worth the tough days. For example, force yourself to get up at 6:30 AM for a few days. Do this no matter how your body first feels from your previous night sleep. Then, go to bed at exactly 10:30 PM on those nights. After a few days of this continued routine, your sleep pattern will reset. Adjust these times to fit your schedule while remembering to let yourself sleep for seven to eight hours each night.

Try out these tips to get your body going in the right direction to sleep better.
