Relax--- A warm bath with lavender or
rose oil will calm the nerves, and raise your body temperature to help you fall
asleep faster.
Sheet Quality --- Choose sheets that
you love. Crisp and cool, go with percale. Prefer soft and cozy? Then go with sateen or flannel. A long lasting linen is an Egyptian cotton.
Lights off--- Turn off the TV or
computer. Face the alarm clock away from you so you don’t see the time during
the night and then start thinking of the day ahead.
Sleep Sideways--- Snoring, besides
bothering a partner, can wake you up. Airways are most blocked when on your
back, so sleep on your side.
Cut Coffee—Cut out coffee or other
caffeine by 2 pm. It may be difficult to cut out caffeine when you hit your
afternoon slump, but take a walk or drink a glass of water instead.
)Mattress—Choose the mattress that is not too hard or too soft. Flip and rotate your mattress every few months to avoid lumps or sags.
