What are some natural ways to achieve a better sleep?

1. Have your last meal 3hrs before going to bed. 2. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Avoid caffeine specially before bedtime. 3. Warm milk can help feel sleepy. 4. Do not look at a bright screen 30 mins before going to bed. 5. Consistently go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. 6. Try to meditate or do mindfulness before bedtime. 7. Avoid heavy exercises and anything which requires you to be mentally very active, like preparing a presentation before bed time.

Relaxing before going to bed is really great. I watch some comedies before I fall asleep and they help me to relax easily and feel comfortable. I can suggest series "Friends", "Two and a half men", or "The big bang theory", or something like that. Series "Joey" and "According to Jim" are great too. Drinking tea or warm milk can help too to relax. In my country there's a special tea for relaxing or for sleeping, natural of course. When you go shopping, you can try to search for them and buy them. I totally recommend that. Then... Taking a bath, or a shower, with warm water, with some shampoo that smells nice. I recommend milk and honey shampoo. So, essentially, everything that's WARM makes us feel relaxed. That's why we adore cuddling, or tucking under our blankets. It makes us feel better. Reading a book is a good option too. Or reading something, anything that can help you to forget about the world around you and go in your new and magical one. Or sometimes, just telling yourself in your head when you're in your bed "SHUT UP" can be helpful, haha. :D You can try everything... And if it doesn't work, maybe talking to therapist or some doctor can be helpful. Good luck :)

Make your room is completely dark, keep a regular schedule, keep noise down, keep your room cool and make sure your bed is comfortable.

Sleep deprivation may occur in presence of mental stress, overdose of caffeine, improper sleeping habits and disturbing environment etc. In my opinion, it is essential to discover what is the right reason that is keeping you away from sleep and then taking measures on it. Some of these methods will surely help in my perspective. 1) Wake up early and add some workout to your routine. 2) Eat healthy diet. Avoid excessive fatty and spicy food. 3) Make sure that the place you sleep in is silent. 4) Avoid too much light in your room. Make sure it is dark. 5) Avoid Tea/Coffee after noon. 6) Avoid sleeping in the afternoon. 7) Practice relaxation techniques and messaging technique to your subconscious brain. I am sure these techniques will work. But if in case it does not work then consult a Doctor.

Be sure not to stimulate your brain before bedtime. This means television, internet, and even books! Most people sleep better in a slightly cool room. And when you find yourself waking up in the night, try to let yourself fall back asleep before you decide to get up and give up. Often when you find yourself thinking that you can't get back to sleep, you find yourself waking up the following morning not having remembered falling back asleep!

From what I've observed, setting a schedule for yourself can help regulate your sleeping patterns and ultimately achieve better sleep. Although, sometimes you just want to stay up late, which is perfectly fine. I'd say, get acquainted with the number of hours that you usually sleep and try to observe whether or not you feel good after these hours. The duration of 'good' sleep varies from person to person, so familiarize yourself with how you feel after you wake up. Do you feel refreshed? Do you feel tired? Or maybe you feel the same?

To achieve a better sleep you should read before you go to bed, you should exercise during the day to tire your body so that you sleep peacefully that night, try drinking hot chocolate and taking a hot bath before bed. avoid computers, phones, ipods an hour before sleeping

Don't watch TV or look at a screen right before bed. Use software that removes the blue light from your monitor (called flux for mac). Drink a cup of herbal tea before bed. Get some vigorous exercise during the day. Avoid caffeine after 2pm.

Write a list of everything on your mind before you go to sleep so that you can sleep without worrying that you'll forget it. It's a to do list, a worry list, and anxiety list, and it calms you down so you can sleep peacefully.

The one thing that really helps me rest and relax is calming music. Books on tape work great too if you use a hypnosis app

You can lie on your bed, focus on your breathing and imagine each part of your body becoming very heavy and sinking into your mattress... Some teas are also good for a better sleep.

Try and not be on your phone/computer before bed. If you listen to calming music and read, you generally create a better mental space for your mind to sleep.

Creating bedtime rituals. E.g. bath before bed followed by moisturizing and then reading in bed till you sleep. Follow these rituals every night. Another way is by eliminating caffeine from your diet.

Get an app on your smart phone that has white noise or relaxing sounds to help you fall asleep and refrain from watching television or going on the computer in the same environment where you sleep.

Have a good workout that is challenging and enjoyable, eat dinner/last meal at least three hours before bed.

One natural way that I use is tea. Certain kinds of tea are meant to relax your body. Some even have Melatonin in them, which is the chemical that helps regulate sleep.

Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don’t toss and turn. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust by making the change in small daily increments, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day. Wake up at the same time every day. If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm. If you need an alarm clock to wake up on time, you may need to set an earlier bedtime. As with your bedtime, try to maintain your regular wake-time even on weekends. Nap to make up for lost sleep. If you need to make up for a few lost hours, opt for a daytime nap rather than sleeping late. This strategy allows you to pay off your sleep debt without disturbing your natural sleep-wake rhythm, which often backfires in insomnia and throws you off for days. Be smart about napping. While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia worse. If insomnia is a problem for you, consider eliminating napping. If you must nap, do it in the early afternoon, and limit it to thirty minutes. Fight after-dinner drowsiness. If you find yourself getting sleepy way before your bedtime, get off the couch and do something mildly stimulating to avoid falling asleep, such as washing the dishes, calling a friend, or getting clothes ready for the next day. If you give in to the drowsiness, you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.

no sugar/coffee/alcool/durgs one hour before sunset, low light, a book or a chat with a friend, a walk, warm bath, foot massage, warm bath for your feet

Excercise exhausts your body physically, don't drink caffeine in the evening and don't eat large meals before going to bed.

1. Try avoiding naps during day time, or try to limit them to max of 20-25 minutes 2. Avoid blue light at least before two hours of your bed time 3.Trying reading a book (no e-books) before going to sleep (this really works, but it can counteract if the book is too good to keep it down :P) 4. Try maintaining a schedule...fix hours for starting and ending your day 5.Regular exercise, but not right before your bed time 6.Cut down your caffeine intake 7. You can use apps like rainy mood or whatever you prefer..to relax yourself before going to sleep
