There are many reasons why people can’t get a good night’s sleep and as with any other health conditions, things are not likely to improve until you find a way to break the cycle.
1..
Worry and stress
We have all been kept awake by many factors that cause worry and stress in our lives. Money problems, relationship issues and work stresses can have you sitting up all night.
2.. Keep a pen and paper next to your bed and before you go to sleep, write down your thought and worries, create a to-do list for the following day or set down solutions and ideas that relate to work.
Diet and eating patterns
What and when you eat can have a major impact on your ability to sleep. 3.. These foods take a long while to digest and the after effects of indigestion and heartburn are not going to set you up well for a good quality sleep.
Alcohol and caffeine
Tea, coffee and energy drinks contain caffeine that helps to stimulate the nervous system and make you more alert, which is great if you need a pick-me-up. Dosing up on caffeine during the day can affect your ability to sleep later on in the evening. Alcohol is a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. 4..
