In order to get to sleep and get better sleep, there is quite a ‘large’ list of common practices and activities that you would want to avoid in order to allow your body to rest and fall asleep more naturally.

Sleep Better & Fall Asleep Faster By Avoiding These:

 Sleep is crucial to our well being, not to mention our sanity. Lack of sleep over consecutive days can cause irritability, stress, negative thing, irrational thoughts and many other issues. These seem to increase the longer the lack of quality sleep occurs.

Here is a huge list of different things that you may or may not know that will affect your ability to sleep in a negative way. Some of these may or may not affect you in this regard, as every individual is different and is affected by different levels of sensitivity.

Here’s an obvious one:

Coffee: Coffee or any other caffeine induced drink is not some thing you want to drink after supper time if you want to be able to unwind and get your body to fall into a natural sleep on its own.

Chocolate: is another one you want stay away from as it too is astimulant and actually can help to keep you awake at night when you should be sleeping.

*Any drink, or food with caffeine in it will act as a stimulant to your body or mind. Read the label or know the ingredients.

Exercising Late at Night: Ok, so we all want to look great and stay in shape but, if you are exercising too late at night you actually are ’stimulating’ your body and releasing adrenaline which can keep you buzzing for hours. Its great to want to exercise, but exercising anytime after 7pm can cause your body to stay energized and create difficulty in the body’s natural prgression towards sleep.

Your efforts would best be served keeping active during the day. Exercising, working in the yard, doing house work etc. will work wonders to get you tired and sleeping better at night when you should be sleeping!

Staying up too Late: Staying up too late at night and fighting your bodies feelings of tiredness will mess up your bodies routine. If you go to bed at a normal, reasonable  time every night will get your body into a normal sleeping routine in no time!

Watching TV Late At Night: My wife has told me this for a long time. If you watch television for too long or too late at night it can actualy stimulate your mind and make it difficult to fall asleep again. The smae goes for the computer. Yes, If you are like me you want to check your email but then this leads to something else and something else, before you know it, you are wide awake and you have just ’slapped’ your mind wide awake again. Often times, you will then get thinking on different mattrers or things that you need to do and this keeps your mind spinning all night! Not Good!

Sleeping in Too Late: If you do sleep, if you are sleeping in too late in the morning or during the day, you will make your body less tired at night as you are throwing your body out of its regular routine. Try to set a normal pattern of going to bed and waking up at the same time-this will definitely help!

Eating Too Close To Bedtime: Eating too close to your bedtime can ‘fire up’ your body’s food burning efforts and again, keep you awake. If you eat large meals, not only are you uncomfortable because of eating too much, but you now have your body working over time to get this digested. *This has been the cause of many a sleepless night for me!
