Struggle with Insomnia? Here Are Four Tips for A Better Night’s Sleep

Struggle with Insomnia? Here Are Four Tips for A Better Night’s Sleep

insomnia-tips-better-sleepAre you someone who falls asleep easily or do you have trouble falling asleep? My kids and husband can go to sleep just about anywhere and anytime, but I am not so lucky. I can toss and turn and sometimes it can take an hour or more for me to fall asleep. One of the biggest reasons people have sleep issues is from stress. Now, stress is not always a bad thing, like job interviews, weddings or even a first date. But when you are a busy working wife and mom, the stress can pile up on you and cause you to struggle falling asleep. Here are 4 tips to help you get a better night’s sleep:

  1. Get On A Schedule:Babies are not the only ones who need a sleep schedule! It turns out adults need one as well. You should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Getting a sleep routine in place is one of the biggest keys to sleep better at night. If you are going to nap, nap for an hour or less or you will have trouble falling asleep at night.

Exercise:Studies how that people who exercise are prone to have a more restful sleep at night.

 

Electronics:I know many of us do, but you should not have a TV, computer, tablet or other electronic devices on in your bedroom. These make your brain too busy, which keeps you from falling asleep.

no devices nightstand

Sleep Aid: I am not one to take pills to help me sleep at night. I will however take natural sleep aid to help me fall asleep at night. I prefer the RESCUE Sleep Liquid Melts because they are natural and that is something I can feel good about.

    I am a nightowl. No matter what I do, it never changes I ultimately revert back into a nightowl pattern. For me, reading helps quite a bit.

    I know that having my phone on my bedside table drives me nuts, but I need it in case of school delays or emergencies. It goes on “do not disturb” mode and I put it screen down. I usually mist our pillows with lavendar essential oils if I can feel myself “fired up” and know it will be a while before I fall asleep.

  7. Julie Wood says

    These are great tips in helping me get a good night sleep. I have never heard of this sleep aid , but I am willing to try it out. It sounds like it can really help me. Also have a dark and cool room really helps with sleep.

  9. Liz Mays says

    I definitely wouldn’t mind trying that when my stress is rising. Oh, and I’m the worst with electronics at night. It’s what I do before bed every night.

    I find avoiding TV or the computer an hour before bed help, I also wind myself down with a cup of herbal tea and try to read before bed, it helps me.

  13. kristin says

    I have a hard time sleeping with a little one who still thinks its a good idea to find herself in my bed half way through the night, so I choose to nap. i’ve seen these sleep aids and may need to try them at some point.

  14. Laura J says

    Oh such great tips! I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. I will have to try some of these…and checkout the Rescue natural products!

  19. Maria says

    I definitely experience better sleep the days I exercise! And, yes, having a routine, even as an adult, does help.

  22. Tiffany Dover says

    This is great! I’ve always been a night owl but never considered myself to have insomnia. My mom on the other hand is pretty bad…I’ll be sharing these tips with her!

  24. shelly peterson says

    Thanks for the tips. I have never taken a sleep aid before or heard of RESCUE Sleep Liquid Melts but I might have to try them, I like that they are natural.

  25. Danielle says

    Luckily, I don’t have any problems with falling asleep, but it could be because I’m early in a pregnancy. Hopefully that doesn’t change towards the end. *crossing my fingers* If it does, at least I know there’s a natural way to help.

  27. Dawn says

    I’m definitely giving these tips a try. I don’t suffer from insomnia, but the time change DOES wreak havoc on my sleeping schedule.
