What are some natural ways to achieve a better sleep?

1. Have your last meal 3hrs before going to bed. 2. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Avoid caffeine specially before bedtime. 3. Warm milk can help feel sleepy. 4. Do not look at a bright screen 30 mins before going to bed. 5. Consistently go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. 6. Try to meditate or do mindfulness before bedtime. 7. Avoid heavy exercises and anything which requires you to be mentally very active, like preparing a presentation before bed time.

Relaxing before going to bed is really great. I watch some comedies before I fall asleep and they help me to relax easily and feel comfortable. I can suggest series "Friends", "Two and a half men", or "The big bang theory", or something like that. Series "Joey" and "According to Jim" are great too. Drinking tea or warm milk can help too to relax. In my country there's a special tea for relaxing or for sleeping, natural of course. When you go shopping, you can try to search for them and buy them. I totally recommend that. Then... Taking a bath, or a shower, with warm water, with some shampoo that smells nice. I recommend milk and honey shampoo. So, essentially, everything that's WARM makes us feel relaxed. That's why we adore cuddling, or tucking under our blankets. It makes us feel better. Reading a book is a good option too. Or reading something, anything that can help you to forget about the world around you and go in your new and magical one. Or sometimes, just telling yourself in your head when you're in your bed "SHUT UP" can be helpful, haha. :D You can try everything... And if it doesn't work, maybe talking to therapist or some doctor can be helpful. Good luck :)

Sleep deprivation may occur in presence of mental stress, overdose of caffeine, improper sleeping habits and disturbing environment etc. In my opinion, it is essential to discover what is the right reason that is keeping you away from sleep and then taking measures on it. Some of these methods will surely help in my perspective. 1) Wake up early and add some workout to your routine. 2) Eat healthy diet. Avoid excessive fatty and spicy food. 3) Make sure that the place you sleep in is silent. 4) Avoid too much light in your room. Make sure it is dark. 5) Avoid Tea/Coffee after noon. 6) Avoid sleeping in the afternoon. 7) Practice relaxation techniques and messaging technique to your subconscious brain. I am sure these techniques will work. But if in case it does not work then consult a Doctor.

Make your room is completely dark, keep a regular schedule, keep noise down, keep your room cool and make sure your bed is comfortable.

There are many ways these days to get a better sleep. Turning off all distractions like tv, computers, phones, tablets. Drinking herbal teas. Getting enough vitamin D. Using melatonin, if you do use it you should consult a doctor first.

no sugar/coffee/alcool/durgs one hour before sunset, low light, a book or a chat with a friend, a walk, warm bath, foot massage, warm bath for your feet

If you wish to achieve better sleep then simple things like exercising throughout the day and avoiding eating and hour before you go to sleep can really help.

Do some research into what is called "sleep hygiene" - habits and practices that encourage high quality, restful nighttime sleep. Some examples of good sleep hygiene include: establishing a regular bedtime routine; sleeping in a cool, dark place; using your bed for sleep and sleep only; keeping a consistent sleep-wake schedule; and avoiding light-emitting electronics for a few hours before going to bed.

lay on your back in your bed and don't move a single muscle for 15 minutes. if you can fool your mind into believing that the muscles in your body have stopped moving it will automatically put you into sleep. besides you can try reading, meditation, breathing exercises, contemplation, drinking milk, doing sports, getting yourself warm etc.

Chamomile tea is the best! You can find it in any grocery store. There are also tea blends you can buy that are made specifically for sleep. (I recommend Yogi Tea) If you like to make sure everything is organic, go to your local co-op or health foods store and buy rooibos tea, chamomile, lavender, and a tiny bit of valerian root. That blend will send you to sleep in minutes!

Do medidation. There is a great app called "calm", which introduces you into this topic. medidation doesnt have to be spiritual. Furthermore you can drink a cup of tea before going to sleep or open all windows in your bedroom. Put away mobile devices in the evening, so you can relax better :)

1. Put away your mobile phone an hour before going to bed. 2. Do not read too much 3. Set your mind and body that the bed is a place to sleep and not a place to do things you should be doing when you are awake. Like watching TV while lying down.

Drinking relaxing tea before bed. Sleeping with ear plugs. Sleeping with an eye mask. Sleeping in a dark room and a quiet place. Disengaging from electronics at least an hour before bed. Setting up an alarm one hour before bed to remind yourself to get ready for bed!

That’s a good question because many of us experience bad sleeps. Number one suggestion is to not look at screens a couple of hours before bed - phone/ computer/ TV - read or do something quiet and relaxed. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time every morning. If you can’t sleep get out of bed and read or relax until you want to try again. Get a good solid session of exercise - fast walking etc is great - physically get tired. Write down everything that’s going through your mind in a notebook before bed. Some herbal drinks are good plus less carbs and more protein to keep yourself from feeling hungry.

Better sleep can be hard. I would say put on some calming music and dream. Close your eyes and think of something that makes you happy. If you wake up in the middle of the night, get something to eat, use the bathroom. Then go straight to bed.

One can began to work out before heading to bed at night. This will help one fall asleep and stay asleep. I also find it is easier to fall asleep if one takes a break from their phone before falling asleep at night. Reading or something similar to calm the mind before resting may also help. I believe finding something that is soothing and helps you to relax before getting into bed is beneficial. Creating a routine may also help, if you get used to doing something it becomes a way for your brain to associate behaviors with sleep.

Hello, I too have struggled with sleep issues for my entire life as has my entire family. Are used to get up in the middle of the night and clean the house or get up and eat because I couldn’t sleep which only made the problem worse. Then I started to dread going to sleep so I go to bed really late and then I had a lot of trouble getting up in the morning so I was grumpy etc. Here is how I solve my sleep issues. The first thing I did was I put up black out curtains such that no light comes through the window at all and there is no nightlight or any other light in my bedroom. The second thing I did was have quiet time in the hour before bed which means no screens no talking on the phone no fast music no running around the house even if I feel energetic to get my body into a calm state. The third thing I did wasI had to eat very lightly at night because indigestion will really disturb my sleep. The fourth thing I did was to stop worrying about not being able to sleep – I wake up often in the middle of the night and what the doctor told me it was that even if I lie there with closed I rest it’s at least 50% of the benefits of sleep. All myself that even if I’m not sleeping I’m getting some benefits and just by lying there with my eyes close I would drift back to sleep more than if I got up and started playing on my phone. I have also read that if you have a sleep routine, that helps train the body to automatically get ready for sleep. For example there was a time in my life where I would set an alarm for an hour before bed and I would go and wash my face brush my teeth lion bed and do some stretches write in my journal and do some deep breathing. I need to get back to that because it was very helpful and I started to be able to sleep at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. If something is really bothering me, I try to get it out of my system by journaling about it or calling a friend or doing some exercise. I’ve come along way from the days of only sleeping until 2 AM. Oh one other very important thing that worked for me was to never look at the clock when I would wake up multiple times in the night because my brain would tell me 4 AM as close to 8 AM I may as well just get up. These habits have worked far better for me than sleep aids or melatonin. Good luck to you!

Take a shower before sleeping. Don't use cell phone or computer 1 hour before sleeping. Bask in the sun and do some exercise at least 15 minutes everyday. Turn off all the lights in your room. Drink some milk, 100ml at most so as not to peep at midnight. Don't drink or eat anything that contain too much caffeine after 4 p.m. Eat some bananas more often than not because the potassium in them helps us to have a good night. Take a deep breath to relax. Don't think anything after lying on bed. Let your room be as quite as possible.

1. Try avoiding naps during day time, or try to limit them to max of 20-25 minutes 2. Avoid blue light at least before two hours of your bed time 3.Trying reading a book (no e-books) before going to sleep (this really works, but it can counteract if the book is too good to keep it down :P) 4. Try maintaining a schedule...fix hours for starting and ending your day 5.Regular exercise, but not right before your bed time 6.Cut down your caffeine intake 7. You can use apps like rainy mood or whatever you prefer..to relax yourself before going to sleep

Excercise exhausts your body physically, don't drink caffeine in the evening and don't eat large meals before going to bed.

Be sure not to stimulate your brain before bedtime. This means television, internet, and even books! Most people sleep better in a slightly cool room. And when you find yourself waking up in the night, try to let yourself fall back asleep before you decide to get up and give up. Often when you find yourself thinking that you can't get back to sleep, you find yourself waking up the following morning not having remembered falling back asleep!

Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don’t toss and turn. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust by making the change in small daily increments, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day. Wake up at the same time every day. If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm. If you need an alarm clock to wake up on time, you may need to set an earlier bedtime. As with your bedtime, try to maintain your regular wake-time even on weekends. Nap to make up for lost sleep. If you need to make up for a few lost hours, opt for a daytime nap rather than sleeping late. This strategy allows you to pay off your sleep debt without disturbing your natural sleep-wake rhythm, which often backfires in insomnia and throws you off for days. Be smart about napping. While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia worse. If insomnia is a problem for you, consider eliminating napping. If you must nap, do it in the early afternoon, and limit it to thirty minutes. Fight after-dinner drowsiness. If you find yourself getting sleepy way before your bedtime, get off the couch and do something mildly stimulating to avoid falling asleep, such as washing the dishes, calling a friend, or getting clothes ready for the next day. If you give in to the drowsiness, you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.

One natural way that I use is tea. Certain kinds of tea are meant to relax your body. Some even have Melatonin in them, which is the chemical that helps regulate sleep.

Have a good workout that is challenging and enjoyable, eat dinner/last meal at least three hours before bed.

Get an app on your smart phone that has white noise or relaxing sounds to help you fall asleep and refrain from watching television or going on the computer in the same environment where you sleep.

Creating bedtime rituals. E.g. bath before bed followed by moisturizing and then reading in bed till you sleep. Follow these rituals every night. Another way is by eliminating caffeine from your diet.

Try and not be on your phone/computer before bed. If you listen to calming music and read, you generally create a better mental space for your mind to sleep.

You can lie on your bed, focus on your breathing and imagine each part of your body becoming very heavy and sinking into your mattress... Some teas are also good for a better sleep.

The one thing that really helps me rest and relax is calming music. Books on tape work great too if you use a hypnosis app
