Finding it hard to get enough shut-eye night after night? For some people, falling asleep – and staying asleep – can be difficult to do. Many factors contribute to how well or poorly you sleep. On any given night, any of these factors may cause you to spend the night tossing and turning or staring at the clock on your bedside table. Here are 5 tips to help you fall asleep faster Set a sleep schedule – It’s best to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This trains your body’s internal clock to be ready for sleep at a certain time. It’s also a good idea to create a regular pre-bedtime ritual that gets your body and mind ready for slumber. Spend time outside – Exposure to daylight helps to regulate your internal clock. Research also suggests that it may increase evening fatigue, sleep duration, and sleep quality. Limit outdoor light in the evenings as it may hinder the production of melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. Blackout curtains can help. Avoid daytime naps – Although short daytime naps may increase alertness and productivity, some people find that it makes it harder for them to fall asleep at night. If you do nap, do it early in the day and keep it to 30 minutes or less.
