5 Tips for a Better Night's Sleep

Like many people, I have been struggling with getting a good night’s sleep for many years now. I have had very few full nights sleep since my children have been born.

I’ve tried so many things to help improve my sleep. The thing I learned is that having a routine is perhaps the most important thing when it comes to a good night’s sleep.

Here are 5 things everyone should do to get a good night’s sleep:

1. Go to bed at the same time every night.
2. Get up at the same time every morning.
3. Do not read or watch TV in bed, have a designated area for these activities.
4. Do not stay in bed if you are awake for more then 15min. Get out of bed and do a boring activity (such as a puzzle or read a book). When you’re sleepy, go back to bed.
5. Use your bed only for sleeping.

I’ve been trying my best to follow these 5 simple steps and have had better nights in the past month.

I would love to get a good nights sleep These are great tips to help

These tips are good, at this point I’ll try anything. I have a physical disability but for some reason my mind can not shut off & relax at night….Thank you.

I rarely get a good night sleep, I wake up lots, but fall right back asleep. I sleep for 7 to 9 hours a night.

Thanks for the tips. I do try to relax before bedtime.

Sleep is a problem for me also, great tips.

That memory foam pillow looks so comfy!

one thing i should start doing is going to bed at the same time every night. i always wake at the same time but never go to bed at the same time

I use my sleep mask a lot but the one featured here would be way better! For me it’s a must-have sleep item.

I usually don’t get a good night’s sleep, thank you for the tips!

These are all great tips, I just bought myself a memory pillow and I am still getting used to it, the first night was awful, but I’m slowly getting used to it now!

Love these tips, as I need to get more ZZZzzz’s in.

I definitely agree with getting up at the same time every morning. On weekends I sleep in just half an hour more and so that doesn’t differ too much from my sleep time for the days I go to work.
