12 Ease into Sleep Strategies


1. Create a bedtime ritual - regularly do something that relaxes you as a trigger to sleep.
2. Take a nap- nap early (not later) in the day to catchup on missed sleep.
3. Do breathing exercises - Breath deeply and slowly while counting to 10.
4. Be consistent - get to bed at a regular time and get up again at the same time each day.
5. Write down your thoughts - a swirling mind can wake us up. Put thoughts onto paper instead.
6. Dust the bedroom - allergies to dust can keep you awake.
7. Keep cool - lower the thermostat before bedtime to induce sleepiness.
8. Exercise earlier - you heat up during exercise. A cooler body is ready for sleep.
9. Clean air - add plants to the bedroom or use air purifiers to help clean air.
10. Listen to talk radio - this interrupts the thoughts that are keeping you awake.
11. Stay in the dark - even minimal light can affect the quality of your sleep.
12. Use aromatherapy - Lavender is a popular herbal sleep aid.
