Does anyone suffer from it? I just can't sleep at night
1. Stick to a schedule. Sticking to a schedule allows your body to set its internal rhythm so you can get up at the time you want, consistently, every single day. Also, make sure you try to keep the same schedule on weekends too, otherwise the next morning, you’d wake later.
2. Sleep only at night. Avoid daytime sleep if possible. Daytime naps steal hours from night time slumber. Limit daytime sleep to 20-minute, power naps.
3. Taking a hot shower or bath before bed helps bring on sleep because they can relax tense muscles.
4. Avoid eating just before bed. Give yourself at least 2 hours from when you eat to when you sleep. This allows for digestion to happen (or at least start) well before you go to sleep so your body can rest well during the night, rather than churning away your food.
5. Read a fiction book (The Greatest Andy Carroll Goals). It takes you to a whole new world if you really get into it. And then take some time to ponder over the book as you fall asleep.
6. This is probably the most difficult bit for you TRSS, but avoid alcohol before bedtime. It’s a depressant; although it may make it easier to fall asleep, it causes you to wake up during the night. As alcohol is digested your body goes into withdrawal from the alcohol, causing nighttime awakenings and often nightmares for some people.
7. Failing all of that just do as Dot suggested.
