Is your lack of sleep interfering with your daily life? Do you think that you will never be able to get a good night's sleep again? If so, then this article is for you. Read on to uncover some simple tricks that can help you fall asleep and stay asleep naturally, without the use of drugs. 1. Designate your bed for sleep and sex only. If you use your bed for watching TV, balancing your checkbook or having deep emotional discussions with your mate, your mind may start to subconsciously connect your bed with these activities. This can kick your brain into overdrive and you will find it very hard to sleep when your mind is going 90 miles an hour. 2. Ease your stress before going to bed. Develop a bedtime ritual and do it every evening before going to bed. This ritual may include meditation, slow stretching exercises, yoga or even prayer. Do whatever eases your stress and whatever helps you to relax. 3. Do not drink caffeine four to six before you go to bed. Caffeine can stay in your body a lot longer than you realize and can have you tossing and turning all night long. 4. Make your bedroom "sleep friendly" This means that you should keep your bedroom dark and as quiet as possible. For some people, a repetitive noise is a great sleep inducer. A fan or a window air conditioner can produce such a noise and also help to drown out other sounds. Do what you need to do to get your room between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the ideal temperature range for sleep. 5. Avoid having a cigarette before you go to bed. Nicotine is a stimulant and can keep you awake or cause you to have a fitful sleep. This is just another good reason to quit smoking altogether! 6. Don't go to bed hungry, but don't go to bed with an over stuffed belly either. Try drinking a glass of milk before bed. It contains tryptophan which is a natural sleep promoting substance. 7. Avoid taking long naps during the day. Naps can be tempting, especially when you are tired, but they can make matters worse. If you feel that you must nap, try to make it short, no longer than 20 minutes. 8. Keep your pets out of your bed. If your dog or cat sleeps with you, they may move during the night and wake you up. So there you have some great tips on how to fall asleep and stay asleep naturally. Try these tips and see if they work for you.
