Follow this steps to make your sleeping time better:
1.Try to have fixed hours for going to sleep and waking up.
2.Do not go to sleep immediately after a meal and also avoid exercising before bedtime.
3.Avoid having stimulants like coffee before bedtime. Instead, add one tablespoon of honey to a glass of warm milk and have it before bedtime. It is said that minerals like calcium and magnesium help by inducing relaxation and calming the mind. Many of the B vitamins are also said to promote sleep.
4.Avoid keeping a television in your bedroom. You can try reading a book instead. It may make you feel drowsy. So, have a bed switch to turn off the lights, so that you do not have to get out of bed.
5.Your bed should be comfortable and firm and the room temperature should neither be too hot, nor too cold.
6.Draw the curtains, if street lights or other lights are visible. Do not force yourself to sleep as doing so can itself keep you awake.
7.Conscious relaxation or meditation, before bedtime, calms the mind and helps induce sleep.
8.Try doing deep breathing—breathing in and out slowly and deeply. This will also help you calm down.
However, if you have severe insomnia and these tips do not help, you should get a doctor’s advice and treatment without any delay
