What is your best tip for a healthy night's sleep?
To me is taking a hot shower at night. It really relaxes my muscles and makes me super sleepy
For myself, I listen to a sleep CD, which contains relaxing, soothing musical sounds which naturally induce sleep. One can find a number of these out there in stores.
Drinking chamomile tea helps some as well, or sleep-type teas.
Stop using any screen or media device (phone, tablet, reader, laptop, television) at least one hour before bed.
Take magnesium before bed.
@Strength1 I have to say I wasn't a big fan of mindfulness. But I have found it helps me to sleep, one especially, not all work for me but some do help to sleep. I hope it helps you or anyone who need it too. My psychologist recommended taking a shower before going to bed as someone commented before and drinking a especial tea.
@Imaginativa2930 I find this helps for me too!
@contentedApple95 Yay!^w^
I take gummy melatonin. I have a sound machine to block minor noises, but not overly loud ones for emergencies if needed. I drink some nighttime tea that has chamomile in it. I also reduce the lights an hour before bed and block blue light from any media screen.
I think perhaps shutting things down at "least" 30 minutes to an hour before you want to actually fall alseep is a good goal... It helps to shut down the mind and the thoughts.
I like meditation music and sounds to help calm and relax me as well. Which relaxes the body and mind... and turns off those "pesky" thoughts. And of course.. my little puppy cuddled up next to me helps too
Free your mind from all the thoughts.
I think listening to calm music..reading a book really helps (me)💕💕
Drinking cammomile tea, listening to relaxing music and reading, and going to bed early
if i am trying to sleep - and i can't - i get out of bed and do something boring. Then when i am tired again, i get back in bed to sleep. I do this so i dont pair the bed with anything but sleeping ...and it really works for me.
