How To Get A Good Night's Sleep
Planning
Plan a good night's sleep. If you have loads of thoughts buzzing around in your brain, write them down before you slip between the sheets so you can deal with them in the morning. Alternatively, deal with any issues away from your bedroom — such as your office or living area — so that you boudoir remains a place of solitude and rest.
No liquids before bed
It stands to reason that if you polish off a bottle of water just before bed, you're going to need to visit the toilet throughout the evening. Experts suggest that you limit the liquids at least couple of hours before climbing into the sack.
Exercise
Regular exercise can help your body achieve a deeper, more restful sleep, but it's best to exercise long before you hit the hay — as vigorous movements can also keep you awake!
Dim the lights
Dr Mehmet Oz recommends that you dim the lights an hour before bed, therefore creating a false sunset that tricks your brain into getting tired. Sneaky!
Go caffeine free
Don't drink coffee or consume caffeinated beverages for at least two hours before bedtime, as they can prevent you from getting to sleep, or cause you to wake up once you do nod off.
Romp
Sex is a great way to help the body transition into sleep mode — just try to avoid drifting off while in the midst of the process!
Music
Death metal or heavy hip-hop may not send you off into the land of nod, but a soothing soundtrack can work wonders in helping your mind and body to relax.
Warm socks
Your feet get cold more easily than other parts of your body, so keep your toes toasty warm with a pair of socks to help prevent overnight awakenings.
Hot shower
A hot shower not only increases circulation, rejuvenates your body and relieves stress, but it also raises your body temperature — and when you raise your body temperature late in the evening, it falls again at bedtime, facilitating sleep!
