10 Tips for a Good Night Sleep ...

Tired of tossing and turning all night? Worried that your eyes are going to look like saucers again in the morning? Here are tips for a good night sleep! You’ll be glad you took a look at these when you wake up tomorrow – refreshed and relaxed!

1. No afternoon siesta

You’re done with lunch. You’ve watched your favourite soap opera and now your bed beckons with open arms. Resist! Stay away from those long naps during the day. Let your body cry for sleep and then gift it a long night of rest.

2. No-no to these…

If you’re used to guzzling down pots of coffee after dinner then it’s time to stop. Also avoid drinking alcohol just before bedtime. It will affect your sleep patterns negatively. If you’re a smoker, then that could cause sleep trouble as Nicotine is a stimulant.

3. Exercise in the morning

Are you sending your body the right signals? Don’t confuse your body with a great workout just before you go to bed or your system will be begging you to stay up and party all night.

4. Turn off the lights

You may have a bright neon billboard opposite your window with blues and pinks streaking through your room. However, try and keep the room dark so external lights don’t distract you from your beauty sleep.

5. What’s your iron count?

An iron deficiency could cause sleep trouble. So get a check up and if there’s a problem, iron supplements can help balance out your system so it doesn’t affect your sleep.

    When I really can’t fall asleep, I’ll pull out a programming book and start reading through pages and pages of diagnostic messages. It’s so mind-numbing that it usually puts me right to sleep.

    I’m surprised that recommending a memory foam mattress is not included in the top 10 – for me it’s number 1

    Did you know that memory foam was developed by NASA for the comfort ... See more of astronauts in the 1960′s?

    keeping your hands and feet warm in bed help you get to sleep, so i wear moisturising gloves and bed socks in bed, also lavender spray really helps as lavender is very relaxing. i find ... See more that having a window open relaxes me as i know that things are still going as normal outside, i live in the flight path but im so used to it i think id have to move if the noise stopped… id just panic all night! :) sweet dreams!

    I agree with all of these. Hot tea is to the body what a good book is to the soul. Another good tip is not to watch TV, use the computer, or use anything electronic ... See more before bed because it doesn’t relax your brain, it stimulates it.

      Hahahaha Theo,
      Sorry to deprive you of your sleep. Maybe we should put up a health warning like the tobacco companies “Excessive surfing through this site can be addictive. Surf at your own risk” :P

    I find that working two different shifts has really played havoc with my sleep patterns. I usually have some cereal before bed, as one week my body is used to me fueling it throughout ... See more the night when I am working, and the next week, it expects something throught the night when I am working day shift….so yeah, the milk helps, also a perfectly dark room, and sometimes a fan going, or some other kind of white noise, to block out the traffic, or the neighbout cutting his grass, the kids’ tv, etc. Good Luck>>>>> I have tried mild sedatives and they do knock me out for a good sleep, but I usually wake up with a wicked headache as a side effect..not really how you want to spend the next 8 hours…..

    Great tips!

    Don’t forget magnesium before bedtime.

    I keep a note pad and pen beside my bed to jot down any ideas that keep my mind racing before I fall asleep.
