Develop a Bedtime Routine
A bedtime routine can get your body into a sleep habit, such as not looking at anything that might stimulate your mind. Having a relaxing bath or doing some gentle stretching can help you wind down before bed. Going to bed at the same time every night and getting up at the same time every morning (even on weekends) can help develop a healthy sleep pattern.
Keep the Bed just for Sleeping
If all you do in bed is sleep, your body will get used to doing that when you get in bed. Reading or watching TV in bed can really hinder those who have difficulty sleeping.
If You Simply Cannot Sleep – Do Something Else
Lying through the night wide awake can actually become detrimental to health. Insomnia can end up causing anxiety and depression, if possible, try not to stress about not sleeping. Get up and do whatever works for you.
Don’t catch up on missed sleep in the daytime, as it will hinder your sleep at night.
