10 steps to better sleep :)

  1. Understand the need for sleep - peeps, u know why u need sleep. :)
  2. Make sleep a priority - it is as important as your mealtimes and sex.  don't relegate it to something you do "when everything else is done."
  3. Watch your diet - a balanced diet will help you sleep better, but remember to stay away from alcohol, sleeping pills and caffeine too close to bedtime.
  4. Exercise and be active - regular exercise - though not too close on your bedtime - will improve ur chances of getting regular sleep.
  5. Learn to relax - tension and stress at bedtime will give u restless night.  try meditating before u sleep.
  6. Sort out your sleep routine - get into pattern of going to sleep at the same time every night, and waking the same time every day (whether it is a holiday or not!!)
  7. Organise your time - no matter what u think, there really are enough hours in a day to do everything.  it's a question of organisation.
  8. Develop healthy thinking and control worry - worrying can keep you up and sleepless.  adopt some worry-free strategies like exercise, meditation and structured problem-solving.
  9. Deal with other problems - sort out ur relationships, work or mental or physical problems.  with less to think about, you'll sleep better.
  10. Persevere and practice - you have to make good sleep a habit, and this will take time.  don't give up to easily.
