If you haven't been sleeping well, the solution may be simpler than you think. Before you turn to addictive sleep medications, try these all natural bedtime remedies:
- Write it down. Get worries, fears, and tomorrow's "To Do" list out of your head and onto paper.
- Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol may put you to sleep, but it will also wake you up several hours later.
- Finish vigorous exercise five hours before bed. It can take that long for your core body temperature to drop in order to fall asleep.
- Create a restful environment. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, quiet and clutter-free. Consider using a white-noise maker.
- Avoid stress inducing activity prior to sleep. Answering emails, paying bills or watching stress-inducing TV will keep your body restless.
- Utilize relaxation techniques. Release the stress of the day with light stretching, soothing music, aromatherapy oil, deep breathing, meditation or a combination of these activities.
