Improving the quality of your sleep
For anyone who experiences even minor difficulty in sleeping, some simple, common sense measures to help you sleep are:
- Avoid alcoholic drinks in the late evening. Alcohol may help sleep onset, but can cause early morning wakefulness.
- Cut back on coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine, especially in the evening.
- Avoid eating a large, late-evening meal and heavy, fatty foods before going to bed.
- Listen to some relaxing music or do some light relaxation exercise such as yoga before going to bed.
- Don’t use your bedroom as a place to work.
- Take a warm (NOT HOT) bath (not a shower) before going to bed.
- Avoid naps if they interfere with your normal sleep pattern.
- If unable to fall asleep within 20-30 minutes of lying down, get up and do something else until you feel sleepy. This way your body does not associate your bed with wakefulness.
Exercise during the day. -For those of you with difficulty sleeping due to nighttime pain or suffer from other forms of insomnia, complementary and alternative therapies are noninvasive and tend to be free of side effects.
