Create a structured bedtime routine and maintain it even on the weekends. Most people need between seven and nine hours of sleep. Get into the habit of going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. You will begin to sleep better when your body is adjusted to this routine.

 

Most folks love staying up late on days off, holidays and, of course, weekends. If your schedule isn't regular, you may start suffering from insomnia. Set an alarm to help you wake up at a set time, daily. Soon enough you'll create a habit and a consistent sleep routine.

 

Many people swear by cookies and milk to gear up for a good night's sleep. The idea is that the carbs in the cookies, and the L Tryptophan in the milk induce sleepiness. Give it a try. The worst that can happen is that you get to eat cookies and milk at bedtime!

 

Don't get too much sleep. If you cannot get to sleep after 30 minutes of lying in bed, try some relaxation or a soothing warm non-alcoholic beverage. Avoid taking naps during the day. If you must take a nap, keep it short and make sure it ends at least six hours before your normal bedtime.

 

Take some time in the early evening to put the day's worries away. Write down any stresses, or tasks that were left undone, and plan to do them tomorrow. If things you have to do the following day are keeping you up, make a solid plan, or even a schedule, so that you do not have to linger over these thoughts while you are trying to sleep.

 

About half an hour before heading to bed, warm up a glass of milk. Drinking it will calm your nervous system and allow your body to rest when you lay down in bed. The calcium in milk is particularly effective in targeting jumpy nerves, making it the perfect before bed drink.

 

You can create a journal before bedtime to help with your insomnia. Write down your thoughts before retiring to bed. You can write down anxieties as well. Once you are aware of the issues with sleep, you can get rid of them.

 

Try imagining that it's the time to get up in the morning. This is sort of a fake out tip. You are trying to fake out your body to thinking it wants just a few more minutes rest, just like it does when that alarm goes off first thing in the morning.
