Please feel free to experiment with the following steps and find ones that work the best for you:

Pay Attention To Your Natural Sleep-Wake Cycle

It’s widely noted that if you keep a pretty regular sleep-wake schedule, you’ll feel much more refreshed and energized throughout your days than if you have a random sleep schedule that you alter.

You can lock in and keep up with your natural sleep-wake cycle by going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day. What does this do? It helps set your body’s internal clock and optimize the quality of your sleep.

Choose a time when you normally feel tired and go to bed then. When waking up, you should do so naturally, (without an alarm) if you’re getting enough sleep.

This is going to break your heart, but you really should avoid sleeping in, even on the weekends! If you sleep in on the weekends, but wake up early throughout the week, you’re going to experience jetlag-like symptoms. This is not good!

Choose What You Eat and Drink Before Bed Wisely

You should never go to bed hungry or stuffed, and it’s smart to avoid any heavy or large meals within a few hours of bedtime. Why? Because your discomfort may keep you up at night.

In addition, anything with nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol should be drank with caution before bed, too. These beverages have stimulating effects that can take hours to wear off and can wreak havoc on quality sleep.

You should want to ensure your room is cool, dark, and quiet. Try to avoid light-emitting screens just before bedtime and opt for more calming activities like taking a bath or using relaxation techniques.

Stop Worrying

Worrying and stress can seriously disrupt your sleep, so try to resolve any worries or concerns you might have before bedtime. Consider jotting down what’s on your mind and then set it aside to talk in the morning.

You could start implementing stress management techniques like getting organized, setting priorities, and delegating tasks to help ease any anxiety.
