For improved wellbeing.
You might improve your sleep if you adopt 'sleep hygiene'. Sleep hygiene implies that there are a number of measures to take to achieve a well deserved rest!
First some things to avoid:
Drinking caffeine loaded drinks such as tea and coffee, fizzy drinks or alcohol too close to bedtime.
Watching television just before going to bed.
Eating or drinking too near to bedtime.
Going to bed before you are sleepy.
Working on your laptop/phone or iPad in bed.
Some things to try:
Exercise regularly, preferably in the morning or early afternoon.
Keep a regular bedtime and waking routine, even at the weekend.
Create a relaxing bedtime by going for a short walk, a soak in Epsom Salts in your bath. Listen to soothing music and massage your legs or feet before bed.
Make use of deep breathing exercises.
Make sure your bed is comfortable, that the room is slightly cooler than the rest of the house. Ensure that your nightwear is not tight or constricting and use a blackout blind to cut out the light.
Wear bed socks if your feet are cold.
