Dim The Lights an Hour Before Bedtime<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turn off all overhead lights, lamps and all electronic devices. Inorder to fall asleep, your body releases <a href=\"http:\/\/howtoremedies.com\/should-you-take-melatonin-for-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">melatonin <\/a>(a hormone which induce sleepiness), when you are on your laptop, cell phone or watching TV, you are preventing the creation of this hormone so you should remove all electronics with bright light screens at least an hour before bed so it will be easier for your body to get tired.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to read before bed, use a little light rather than a desktop light or overhead light. Little light shouldn\u2019t affect your body hormones much. Also, if you\u2019ve got things on your mind like tomorrow\u2019s meeting, jobs or any sort of things .. write them down 15 minutes before bed, this sweeps them out of your mind.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_Aromatherapy_Lavender-Scented_Diffuser\"><\/span>5.

Studies show that using lavender essential oils have\u00a0sedative properties that help relax the body, decrease heart rate and blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a study at Wesleyan University found that women who sniffed lavender oil before bed experienced, on average of 22% more restorative sleep.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Exercise_Workout\"><\/span>6. Exercise &amp; Workout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Working out has a good impact on the quality and speed of sleep. According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, those who worked out rated their sleep as significantly better. Even light exercisers got 43% good night\u2019s rest, but avoid working out within 4 hours of heading for bed, always switch any workout routine to the morning.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Follow_A_Mediterranean_Diet\"><\/span>7. Follow A Mediterranean Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mediterranean diet is a delicious and healthy diet, it can also save over $1,000 per year on grocery bills.

Find Your Best Sleep Position<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the Better Sleep Council, sleeping on your side turned to be the best sleeping position. If you sleep on your back, your airways are blocked off and that increases your chance for snoring, sleeping on your sides can cut down the chance for snoring throughout the night. Also, stomach sleepers are shown to report restlessness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Having_High_Glycemic_Index_GI_Dinner\"><\/span>10. Having High Glycemic Index (GI) Dinner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>High-GI foods like potatoes and rice, were proven to increase body\u2019s level of Tryptophan (the sleeping amino acid). Studies show that adding high-GI foods to dinner nearly 4 hours before going to bed help with achieving sleep 49% faster than low-GI foods.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Avoid_Caffeine_Close_To_Bed_time\"><\/span>11.
