HOW TO SLEEP WELL
a.k.a. “Sleep Hygiene”
by John P. Roberts, M.D.

===== General

Get up and go to bed at the same time every day.
Even on weekends! When your sleep cycle has a regular rhythm, you will feel better.


===== Daytime

Use sunlight to set your biological clock.
As soon as you get up in the morning, go outside and turn your face to the sun for at least15 minutes; more is better. This is the best time to get your exercise. Even if it’s cloudy, the brighter light outdoors will help.

Stay away from caffeine, nicotine and alcohol at least 4-6 hours before bed. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Coffee, tea, cola, cocoa, dark chocolate and some prescription and non-prescription drugs contain caffeine. Cigarettes and some drugs contain nicotine. Alcohol may seem to help you sleep in the beginning, but will disrupt sleep later in the night.

Don’t take naps (if you have trouble sleeping at night).
This will ensure you are tired at bedtime. If you just can’t make it through the day without a nap, sleep less than one hour, before 3 pm.


===== Evening

Refrain from exercise at least 4 hours before bedtime.
Regular exercise is recommended to help you sleep well, but the timing of the workout is important. Exercising in the morning or early afternoon will help sleep; evening exercise will disrupt sleep.

Write out your problems.
If you’re a worrier, schedule some time in the early evening to work on your problems: write out what the problem is, and what you're going to do about it tomorrow. This can unburden your mind.

===== Getting ready for bed

Develop sleep rituals.
It is important to give your brain cues that it is time to slow down and sleep. An hour before bedtime: turn off the TV and the computer, reduce lighting to the least amount necessary. Listen to relaxing music, read something soothing, have a cup of caffeine-free tea, do relaxation exercises.

Take a hot bath 90 minutes before bedtime.
A hot bath will raise your body temperature, and the following drop in body temperature can make you sleepy.

Have a light snack before bed.
If your stomach is too empty, that can interfere with sleep. However, if you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, that can interfere as well. Dairy products and turkey contain tryptophan, which acts as a natural sleep inducer.


===== Your bedroom

Only use your bed for sleeping (and sex).
Refrain from using your bed to watch TV, pay bills, do work or reading. TV’s bright lights give your brain the wrong message. Condition your mind to associate being in bed with only one thing: sleep. (Sex is the only exception. )

Make sure your bed and bedroom are quiet and comfortable.
A hot room can be uncomfortable. A cooler room along with enough blankets to stay warm is better. If light in the early morning bothers you, get a blackout shade or wear a slumber mask. If noise bothers you, wear earplugs or get a “white noise” machine or a fan.

Don't have a clock where you can see it.
Nothing is more frustrating than seeing how long you've been not sleeping.


===== In bed

Sleep only when sleepy.
This reduces the time you are awake in bed.

If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do something boring until you feel sleepy. Sit quietly in the dark or read the warranty on your refrigerator. Don’t expose yourself to bright light (no television) while you are up. The light gives cues to your brain that it is time to wake up.

Answer 3

Before prescribing any medication for helping you to sleep doctors will generally advise you to follow certain behavioral techniques that are effective -
1. Go to bed at the same time every night
2. Do not exercise 1 hour before your bed time
3 Do not take any stimulant before going to bed like tea, coffee, tobacco
4 Follow some relaxation exercises while going to bed
If these do not work out you will require some medicines, depending on whether you are finding it difficult to go to sleep or remaining asleep.

Answer 4

Well instead of taking meds you should try mother methods. For me I like to listen to music while i fall a sleep. Just put on the timer on your radio, cd player, or what ever you wish to listen to. Sleeping aids are not good for you. The throw off your REM sleep which is what you need so the next day you will wake up recharged. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

In my opinion, the body rests best naturally without sleeping aids. Have you tried not consuming caffiene after 3pm, listening to soft music in the evening, soaking your feet in a warm water and baking soda bath and then massaging lotion on your feet. Drinking some camomile hot tea, taking a warm shower before bedtime. If you change a few habits you might find you will fall to sleep on your own without using medicine. Best wishes, Mama Jazzy Geri

Answer 6

You could always use allergy medicine, but be careful not to become dependent on it.

Try natural methods. Drink warm milk. Take a hot shower or bath. I find sometimes setting the temperature cooler and letting your body temperature warm up the bed and blankets can put me to sleep. Other times setting the room temperature warmer can put me to sleep as well.

Products that contain lavender are supposed to soothe, but don't have anything minty or caffine.

Answer 8

Take benadryl or another anti-histamine cold medicine before bed. They're like sleeping pills, but without the risk of dependency.

Answer 9

Sleeping pills are really bad for you because you can become addicted and won't be able to go to sleep w/o them. Be careful..
Here's what works for me most of the time.... Not to sound perverted, even though for some who are immature and have no clue, but... if you have good sex or if you can make yourself c?? really good; I guarantee you - you will knock yourself out and have a good night sleep.
