Many people have trouble falling asleep and we know that there are few things as unpleasant as going back and forth in bed without being able to sleep.

You don’t feel like doing anything, you’re in a bad mood… in short, rest is fundamental to lead a healthy life. That’s why today we bring a few basic tips for those who suffer from insomnia. Having a night routine can help us improve this problem and get a more restful rest. If you can’t get a good night’s sleep, you know… we start!

AVOIDS STIMULI

Before sleeping, 30 minutes before, it is necessary to avoid the stimuli so that our body enters this phase of preparation for sleep. Reaching a point of relaxation is fundamental for our brain to settle down and to be able to fall asleep. Closed curtains, silence and peace are the allies to reach this goal. On the opposite side are the screens, lights and loud sounds… that put us in tension and activate our nervous system, preventing us from sleeping peacefully afterwards.

LIGHT DINNERS

If we eat too much or too heavy food our body will be forced to work extra and we will have more problems when it comes to sleep. That is why it is important to eat dinner at least one hour before going to bed. It is also essential to eat light foods that do not prevent our body from focusing on what is really important at that time, sleep.

KEEP A FEW SCHEDULES

In order to improve our rest it is fundamental to establish a routine as far as schedules are concerned. We cannot accustom our body to constantly changing and to going to bed some days too early and others too late because, in those cases, we will seriously damage our sleep routine. It is important to set a time limit to go to bed and leave what we are doing to achieve our goal.

USE THE BED TO SLEEP

The bed is a place created to sleep, so it is important that we use it for that and not for other activities such as eating or working. In the latter case, a kind of connection is created in our brain between the bed and the activity that activates us even if unconsciously. Therefore, work and eat at a table and not in bed and your rest will thank you.
