If you have a hard time falling
asleep, or if you have a hard time getting back to sleep after waking up at
night you might be looking for solutions to improve sleep patterns. These are
some things you can attempt, if you have troubles sleeping, or staying asleep
at night.
Routine –
You can’t go to bed at 10 PM for two
nights, then 7 PM the next, and 2 AM a few nights later. Your body won’t get
used to it. Choose a bedtime, stick to it (as closely as possible) and make it
routine. Even on the weekends! The more you keep a pattern, the easier your
body will adjust, and will “know” when it should be asleep.
Sunrise clocks –
Sunrise alarm clocks are a great option as well. They help set
ambient lighting in a room, they wake you up slowly (mimic the sunrise), and
thus make the whole waking up process much smoother. You can set soothing
sounds, alarms, and other settings, for your specific needs. Click here for
more information on wake up alarm clocks.
Dark –
Keep the room dark. A TV in the room,
open blinds, or even light seeping in under a door crack, can impact your
sleep. So, the darker you can keep it, and the less light you have infiltrating
into the room, the easier it is going to be for you to fall, and to stay asleep
at night.
In the event you suffer from a
chronic or sleep condition, it is possible medication may be an option. So,
consider discussing this with your doctor as well, to discuss the possibility
of different medications or devices for sleep.
Regardless of what is causing sleep
disturbances, a few simple changes can help improve length and quality of
sleep. These are some things to try, if you are having a hard time falling,
staying asleep, or both.
Have any tips of your own for getting into an amazing sleep pattern please share in the comments below, I'd love to hear them.
I didn't know sunrise alarms existed! I struggle waking up, so this might be something I could use for that. I already keep to a routine so I'm glad I do that, I do find it helps and that I always feel sleepy around the same time :)
