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.
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
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.

6. Get Comfortable
It helps to have a nice, warm and cosy bed with comfortable pillows. Get a mattress that suits your body well. Your room should be ventilated, quiet and not freezing cold! Keep the temperature just the way you like it.
7. Relax
Don’t get worked up about bedtime. Relax and listen to some music, take a warm bath, meditate, drink some herbal tea or just do some breathing exercise. Let your body wind down gradually.
8. Don’t Be a Pig …
Especially before you sleep. You don’t HAVE to eat all the leftovers. Just save it for tomorrow. Eat two hours before you head to bed. Let it all digest. Don’t drink your 8 glasses of water either, just before bedtime.
9. Some Warm Milk
This will soothe your nerves and prepare your body for rest. You can add some toast or a little cereal to your mini-meal. But don’t stay in the front of the fridge for too long! Peanuts are especially good as it encourages your brain to product serotonin.
10. Write down Your Worries
Sometimes worrying about tomorrow can keep you awake for hours. Write down your concerns or draw up a to-do list. It will help settle your mind.
Try out these tips for a good night sleep... And add yours
Sleep tight! :)

jo: before bed, just have a cup of milk..
James: 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 of astronauts in the 1960's?
queen: relaxing with a glass of warm milk together and a slice of whole wheat toast spread with chunky peanut butter will put you to sleep in 30 minutes. enjoy!
ICe: I keep a journal and update it with my daily activities everyday. This helps me fall asleep. It also help me pour out my worries in forms of writing.
shail: better sleep 1) shower with lukewarm water 30 mins before bed 2) avoid a work on laptop min. 1hr before sleep 3) try relaxation methods , will help u for minimum 8 hrs sleep
Dria: 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 before bed because it doesn't relax your brain, it stimulates it.
Theo: Haha! considering for two nights in a row I've been up going through your blog (JUST ONE MORE POST NO MORE OH NO WHAT"S THIS JUST MORE THIS TiME.>>AHH) these tips will come in handy for today! :)
plazadental: Well defined article on healthy sleep and its effect on us. Sleep is just as important as diet and exercise, so it’s important to allocate the right amount of time in your day for sleep and plan the rest of your schedule accordingly. It impacts every part of our lives. After dinner, take a walk or do some type of exercise, but remember to complete these at least 3 hours before bedtime. Exercise too close to bedtime can be over stimulating. Early exercise can help you relax. Having healthy sleep habits is often referred to as having good sleep hygiene.
Jenna: You wanna stay away from electronics before you go to bed. Speaking of goodnih\ght!!!!
GlamourGirl: These tips are very helpful. A glass of warm milk before going to bed is very effective and Ive been doing this for years.
