Sleeping pills aren’t the only solution to sleep disorders. How can you sleep better? Certain conditions must be met in order to restore your sleep: Bedtime: You should go to bed at the same time every night to help your body establish a healthy rhythm. That’s why, as soon as you feel the first signs of tiredness, it’s time to head to your bedroom and, for example, read or create a short, relaxing ritual to help you fall asleep. It’s recommended to avoid watching TV, using your smartphone, or looking at any other screens, as these delay falling asleep. If you wake up during the night, it’s best to get up, leave the bedroom, and do a light activity like reading to help you feel sleepy again. Diet: Before going to bed, avoid heavy meals, as they can make it difficult to fall asleep and may cause acid reflux. It should be eaten at least 2 hours before bedtime, and you should avoid stimulants at the end of the day, such as coffee, tea, and caffeinated sodas. Physical Activity: Regular physical activity has a beneficial effect on sleep and reduces daily stress. Exercising during the day or in the evening can increase the amount of sleep you get and reduce the number of times you wake up at night.
