Regular exercise can promote heathy sleeping habits and decrease the chances of insomnia. Exercising every day for at least 30 minutes will help you sleep longer and better. Avoid exercising within a 3 hour period before bedtime. Exercising too close to your bedtime can stimulate your body and keep you from falling asleep.
About three hours before bedtime, avoid all stimulants, such as caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and certain medications. Caffeine effects can last for up to six hours, and alcohol, while sedating at first, can cause frequent wakefulness. Certain medications, such as for asthma, are stimulants as well. Check with your doctor to see if you can substitute, or make a different schedule.
Try waking up earlier than usual. That little bit of extra time may be just enough to make you tired towards the end of your day. Figure out how much you're needing to sleep and then work with that so you're able to get to bed faster every night.
Don't snack before bedtime. The sugar rush you experience will keep you awake. Not only that, but you'll find you're more likely to put on weight if you eat before bed. If you insist on having something before you go to bed, try a bit of warm milk or some turkey.
