Sleeping 7-8 hours a day is essential to lead a healthy and active life. Sleeping enough hours is suggested for your body, brain, and mental health. Thus, many people struggle with insomnia and don’t sleep through the night.

What’s “Insomnia”?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and or staying asleep. The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). It may also come and go. Acute insomnia lasts from 1 night to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens at least three nights a week for three months or more.

Essential oils

Put on some lavender oil or chamomile essential oil in a diffuser and relax.

Reset your sleep schedule

Set your alarm every day to wake up at 6-7 am, and another one to sleep at night, 11-12 pm. That way you’ll be making your sleeping on time.

Yoga

Doing some yoga exercises before bed will help you relax and release some tension and boost your body’s melatonin.

Limit your activities

Limiting your activities in bed will help your brain fixate the idea of bed = sleep and sex.

Valerian roots

This herb has been used since ancient times to promote tranquility and improve sleep.

Avoid caffeine at night.

The most known effect of caffeine is that it will make it hard for you to fall asleep. One study also found that caffeine can delay the timing of your body clock. These effects will reduce your total sleep time. Caffeine also can reduce the amount of deep sleep that you enjoy.
