Need Help Sleeping? Try These Tips

By Virginia Laird

Believe it or not, you are not alone in the struggle to fall asleep. Each year, millions flock to their healthcare providers in search of answers to their sleep issues. While there are a few medications some will prescribe, there are also a few natural remedies as well. Before you look for a magic sleep aid, consider trying a few of these healthcare professional recommended tips. They include:

  • Try a bedtime routine
  • Go to bed instead of doing chores
  • Exercise daily

Try a Bedtime Routine

A bedtime routine is known to help children sleep at night. The same can be true for adults. It is for this reason that many experts suggest having a bedtime routine can help you rest and get more sleep. With much research supporting this idea, the only thing you need to be concerned with is where to begin. Activities that help the body relax are best. This can include reading, stretching, and deep breathing techniques among others. It is suggested that your routine last no longer than about 20 minutes. Don't let this be an added stress to your already busy day; rather find something simple that you can enjoy as it relaxes your body and mind and give it a try before bed tonight. 

Go to Bed Instead of Doing Chores

While it can be tempting to stay up long after sending the family to bed to accomplish the remaining chores around the house, this is not helpful to your sleep. Trying to do too much before hitting the pillow can increase stress that can hamper your ability to rest well. Instead, you should make certain to go to bed at a decent hour. Making sure you head to bed with enough time for plenty of rest is the best way to ensure you get the rest you need to be fully refreshed each morning.

Exercise Daily

Even for those who prefer to skip out on exercise, it is helpful in promoting a more restful sleep. Millions admit that a simple exercise routine or walk just after dinner can help clear the mind and burn extra energy to help the body find the ability to fully relax. This can lead to a better night of rest. Your workout should last at least 20 minutes. Start finding which workout will be best for you and give it a try tonight. 

Start today doing what is necessary to help your body relax and get to sleep each night.
