- DonG??t do anything before bed that is likely to leave your mind too stimulated to sleep, such as watching the late night news or paying bills.
- Avoid caffeine late in the evening. If you are sensitive to caffeine, then switch to decaf after lunch.
- Similarly, stop eating two or more hours before bedtime. If your body has to expend energy digesting your midnight snack, you will not sleep as deeply.
- Exercise regularly – but finish your workout at least three hours before bedtime so that your body can finish cooling off.
- Establish a nighttime ritual. This may entail a cup of herbal tea, some soothing music, a bath, prayer or meditation, or writing in your journal. When you create a routine, performing these activities will become a signal to your body that it is time for sleep.
