It can stay in your body for 6 to 8 hours. Therefore, if you\u2019re a coffee addict, try finding a different tipple that will quench your thirst without causing you to stay awake all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"2-Relax-the-mind-and-body\"> 2. <strong>Relax the mind and body<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/quicktoptens.com\/top-tens\/lifestyle\/wellness-trends-in-2019\">Wellness<\/a> is vital. Yoga stretches can really help you to relax before bed. There are many apps out there that can help you learn a variety of poses. Yoga classes or videos on YouTube are other easy options for helping you to de-stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3-Treat-yourself-to-a-new-mattress\">3. <strong>Treat yourself to a new mattress<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your mattress has seen better days, the chances are that it is having a negative effect on your sleep. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghostbed.com\/mattress\/the-ghostbed\/\">memory foam mattress like this one<\/a> could be the answer to your prayers! Whether you sleep on your front, back or side, a memory foam mattress could work for you. Some companies offer free trials to ensure it is suitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4-Aromatherapy\">4. <strong>Aromatherapy<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lavender is well-known for promoting sleep. Consider investing in some relaxing <a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/essential-oil-uses-benefits\/\">aromatherapy oils<\/a>. Ensure you do your research beforehand though as most oils should not be used neat on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"5-Bath-time\"> 5. <strong>Bath time<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bath time is part of the bedtime routine for most babies and young children. Why stop at such a young age? Having a bath can make you sleepy (so don\u2019t stay in too long!). Using a bubble bath containing lavender could be even more sleep-inducing. Just don\u2019t forget to wear a shower cap to stop your hair from getting wet. No one wants damp pillows and spending time blow drying your hair will probably only serve to wake you up again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"6-Declutter-your-thoughts\">6. <strong>Declutter your thoughts<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending a little time meditating can allow you to pack away those thoughts of work or other stressful things until a more appropriate time. It is not about burying your worries, rather that it isn\u2019t the right time to be focusing on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"7-Declutter-your-room\">7. <strong>Declutter your room<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard the saying \u2018cluttered room, cluttered mind\u2019. What if there is an element of truth to that? Having a \u2018busy\u2019 room can prevent a good night\u2019s sleep. Clearing away the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/most-common-types-of-clutter-2648000\">clutter<\/a> including the \u2018floordrobe\u2019 and making easy access to your bed is just the start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"8-Treat-yourself-to-new-bedding\">8. <strong>Treat yourself to new bedding<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh sheets are a treat! New bedding is even more so\u2026 whether you\u2019ve changed the style of your room or you just fancied a change, a new duvet cover and some smooth sheets can really boost your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"9-Blackout-blinds\"> 9. <strong>Blackout blinds<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound like advice for those with babies and children, but actually letting in as little light as possible, particularly during the bright summer months when the sun rises ridiculously early, can really make a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"10-Stick-to-a-routine\">10. <strong>Stick to a routine<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you know it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll get to bed and fall asleep at 10.30pm, it is important to try to stick to a fairly similar routine most nights. What\u2019s more, it might seem like an alien concept to have an alarm set when you\u2019re undoubtedly going to be tossing and turning all night. It\u2019s all part of sleep training and important that you do this. Eventually, your body will learn the pattern and some people have even been known to switch off their alarm clocks because their bodies have responded so favorably. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s fast-paced world everyone is busy and stressed.
