Good sleep is very necessary for health. It will make you fresh on the next day. It will keep your skin glowing. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to sleep. Tossing and turning. Your mind is racing, going over everything that happened today. Night noises keep you awake. In this situation what can you do? We have given few tips for better sleep.


  1. Sleep only when you feel sleepy: - This reduces the time you are awake in bed.

  2. Avoid taking alcohol, nicotine: - Alcohol, nicotine or other drugs except meditation before at least 4-6 hours of bedtime. As these substances primarily let you feel asleep but the whole night you can’t sleep quiet and sleep will interrupted.
  3. Eat light snack before bedtime: - Don’t overeat before bedtime. You should take your dinner at least before 1 hour of bedtime.
  4. Make a regular schedule of sleeping: - Make a proper schedule of sleeping. You should go to bed at fixed time. Moreover, sleeping on your side instead of your back will definitely stop snoring for you as it positions the body for a good sleep. Prepare the surroundings clean without any congestion while you are asleep.
  5. No nap in between: - Napping can only make matters worse if you usually have problems falling asleep. If you do nap, keep it short. A brief 15-20-minute snooze about eight hours after you get up in the morning can actually be rejuvenating.
  6. Exercise: - Keeping fit is always a good idea and will also provide the snorer a release of energy, potentially making him or her tired enough to get a full night’s deep sleep. But the exercise course should be finished before 3-4 hours of the bedtime.
  7. Take a hot bath before bedtime: - A hot bath will raise your body temperature, but it is the drop in body temperature that may leave you feeling sleepy. But it should be taking before 1 hour of the bedtime.
  8. Make sure your bed and bedroom are quiet and comfortable: - A hot room can be uncomfortable. A cooler room along with enough blankets to stay warm is recommended. If light in the early morning bothers you, get a blackout shade or wear a slumber mask.
  9. Avoid watching TV, eating, and discussing emotional issues in bed. The bed should be used for sleep and sex only. If not, you can end up associating the bed with distracting activities that could make it difficult for you to fall asleep.
  10. Listen light music or read something: - Listening light music will make your mind cool and you will fall in to sleep. The same will apply to the reading also.
