Insomnia or sleeplessness is a rampant condition in most of today's population.
There have been countless studies that pinpoint stress as one of the leading causes of insomnia to an average person.
So, to relieve yourself of sleeplessness at night, treat the underlying cause first.
Stress can be handled in different ways.
Take the pressure off and relax before you head to bed.
You can take a warm soothing bath to help you release the tension from your muscles and make you more comfortable in bed.
Deep breathing is another way to put yourself to sleep.
Imagine yourself lying in a cool pool of water just floating around and breathing in and out deeply and carefully as you slowly drift off.
If you find yourself staring at the ceiling for far too long because you are unable to sleep, move out of the bedroom and do not come back up until you feel sleepy or tired.
Think of ways on how you can keep yourself busy the entire day so that you wind up in bed once you are done with your work and dinner by evening.
You will always find time to catch up on some aspects of your life just as long as sleep is not deprived.
Naps should only be taken to avoid afternoon slumps but too much naps can also pose a danger to your sleeping habits at night.
Make sure naps are only 20 minutes long for you to recharge your batteries and get on with your day.
Schedule your night time habits and stick to it.
If you find yourself in bed at ten in the evening then do so every night.
Our bodies love to follow routines which makes it easier for you to fall asleep.
Coffee, chocolates, and other forms of caffeine and alcohol makes sleeping a daunting task.
Steer clear of these items hours before you go to bed or else you might end up rolling up and down your bed wide awake.
