Trouble Getting to Sleep? 4 Unique Tips
Since we are always on the outlook for new information that will help our readers, we wanted to let you in on a couple more ideas to help you if you are having problems sleeping.
Here are a couple we’ve not written about before:
- Avoid exposure to bright light before bedtime because it signals the neurons that help control the sleep-wake cycle that it is time to awaken, not to sleep.
- Keep the light off when you go to the bathroom at night. As soon as you turn on that light you will immediately cease all production of the important sleep aid melatonin.
- Wear socks to bed. Due to the fact that they have the poorest circulation, the feet often feel cold before the rest of the body does. A study has shown that this reduces night waking.
- Journaling. If you often lay in bed with your mind racing, it might be helpful to keep a journal and write down your thoughts before bed.
I have to thank another blogger who writes about, among other things, how hormone issues can affect sleep for directing me to the article that provides these tips, plus 18 more. Many of them we have included in previous posts and many will be included in our forthcoming eBook on Sleeping.
The whole article on how to get a good night’s sleep is a short read.
And one tip we never forget is how certain forms of music can be so relaxing that they help you fall asleep easily. They are drug-free and inexpensive and can be used by the whole family! And if you want the perfect way to listen to your music without disturbing anyone else, then Headphones in a Pillow will do that nicely.
Speaking of the family, how about something for the kids? Helping kids fall asleep is easier than ever before.
