how to get good sleep?

Answer 1

Exercise, take a nice warm bath with Epsom salts, have a glass of wine and knock out.

Answer 2

While I can't nail the answer - hardly anyone can give a good and universal answer to it - I can tell you what I had found to help *me* over the years. Remember,YMMV:

1) Get physically tired, but not overtired throughout the day; finding the proper point of exhaustion for a good sleep takes a while, but trust me you'll know when you find it. Your body NEEDS to be tired in order to relax your brain from an extra load.

2) Do NOT do anything that can excite your brain at least 1 hour before trying to sleep; namely, do not watch TV (unless it's discovery channel), do not solve problems of any kind, do not get your brain exited! Reading a book does good things for me, or just talking to someone

3) Do NOT overeat. You know, in Texas where I live this should be pulled up first in the list.

4) When in bed and trying to get asleep, have something positive to think about tomorrow - what you'll do, who you'll meet etc. Something that you're looking forward to, not something you're afraid of.

Answer 3

Here's a list of DO's:

-- Do wear the most comfortable sleep wear you can find
-- Do make sure you have a good, comfortable mattress
-- Do try the Sleep Number Bed and the Tempur-Pedic mattress
-- Do buy one if it works for you and you can afford one
-- Do turn the lights down in the house at least 1/2 hour before bed
-- Do refrain from caffeinated beverages after dinner
-- Do make your bedroom as dark and as quiet as you need
-- Do use ear plugs if you need to (just turn up your clock radio)
-- Do get your bedroom to a comfortable temperature for you

Here's a list of DON'Ts:

-- Don't use alcohol or illegal drugs to help you sleep
-- Don't use over-the counter sleep aids (you'll be groggy the next day)
-- Don't eat big right before bedtime
-- Don't eat anything high-carb before bed (makes you gain weight)
-- Don't watch TV or read right before you go to bed
-- Don't exercise late in the evening (after work is OK)
-- Don't go to bed angry (talk it out and work it out first!)

Here are a list of herbal supplements that might help you sleep:

-- Valerian Root (either by itself or with hops)
-- Melatonin (no more than 3 mg per night)
-- Holy Basil Extract
