Tips To Getting A Better Night Sleep

1. Avoid Late Nights Snacks You might think your tummy is rumbling, but it really may be boredom. Especially if it’s late at night. When you eat and then lay down, the digestion of the food can cause problems. A late night snack may cause you to get heartburn or acid reflux. Falling asleep may be rough when your insides are burning. Eat an earlier snack or wait for breakfast to eat so you sleep well. 2. Skip Caffeine After Dinner You ate a big dinner and feel a little sluggish. For a pick me up, you have a cup of coffee or a glass of soda. Wrong! That little bit of caffeine after dinner may keep you awake all night. By the time the pick me up takes effect, it will be close to bedtime. Caffeine not only keeps your body awake, but your mind too. You may have trouble falling asleep, and when you do, it may be restless and full of strange dreams. Skip the caffeine until breakfast to have sweet dreams. 3. Eat a Small Dinner A small dinner before bedtime can help in more ways than you think. You won’t feel sluggish and in need of a pick me up, you won’t blow a diet plan and you’ll feel hungry for a snack earlier! Smaller meals typically digest easier, preventing any problems from creeping in during dreamtime! 4. Skip Nicotine Nicotine products can interfere with a good night’s sleep. The nicotine in cigarettes and tobacco products is addicting, and if indulged before bedtime, can make the body experience withdrawals right away that interfere with sleep. If you need to use tobacco products, use them an hour or so before you are planning to go to bed. This will give your system adequate time to process the nicotine and withdrawal without harming sleep. 5. Eat an Early Dinner The sooner you can begin your digestion, the sooner you can have a snack. Early snacks have the proper amount of time needed to digest before laying down, preventing heartburn. Early dinners also burn off more calories, keeping you healthier too! 6. Avoid Greasy Food at Dinner Does it feel like a huge grease ball is sitting in your stomach? No matter which way you turn, you can’t get comfortable. After tossing and turning for hours, you get up to find the proper medicine to make it feel better. If you had skipped the big, late and greasy meal, you would be blissfully into dreamland by now.
