Most of you will be familiar with this: you roll from one side to the other in your bed for hours, but the restorative sleep will not come. Often, too many reflections are wandering through your mind and the haunting thought that the alarm clock goes off in the morning at 7 o’clock does certainly not make it easier. According to a study, more than 80 percent of all employed persons suffer from insomnia. What you can do to drift off to sleep more easily, we will reveal here:

A good mattress is already worth a mint. Therefore, you should not economize on this matter and seek individual advice from professionals about which sort of mattress and which hardness grade is suitable for you. Aside from that, you should get a new mattress every five to ten years.

In addition to that, it is advantaging to switch off all the screens already two hours before sleeping. Moreover, you should not watch television or work in your bedroom in general, in order that your brain connects this place with rest and recreation. Little rituals like a short meditation every evening can also help to get you in the right mood for sleeping.

Furthermore, it is scientifically proven that especially women react to natural scents and faster fall asleep if it smells good around them. Hence, air fresheners with essential oils can work miracles, provided that they are not to intensive.

Sport also tires. And already little everyday movements like stair climbing or a walk during lunch break count. However, shortly before going to bed you should pass on sportive activities as your circular flow rather gets stimulated by that.

If you just cannot turn off your thoughts at night, it might be helpful if you created a to-do-list every evening. If you put all your occupational and private obligations down in writing and thus tidy up your mental desk, your brain has to coordinate less and can come to rest more easily.

Besides, you should relinquish heavy meals or greasy snacks in the late evening. Because then your stomach is busy with digesting and also keeps your mind on the go. Therefore, it is better to consume easily digestible food in the evening.

We hope that this tips will help you and we wish you a recreative sleep!
