Tips For Getting A Good Night’s Sleep
Sleep is important for our mental health and wellbeing. Sometimes our worries and anxious feelings keep us up at night such as worrying about Covid-19. Below are three ways you can help yourself get a better night’s sleep:
- Start calming your mind and body in the afternoon
- Try exercising to make yourself tired
- Limit your alcohol, caffeine and nicotine intake
- Avoiding using devices before bed
- Consistency around bedtime
- Avoid napping during the day
- Have a bed time routine
- Use your bed for sleeping – don’t read, watch tv or use your phone
- Get out of bed if you can’t sleep
- After 20 minutes, you can get out of bed and do something so you can get yourself feeling tired
- Write down your thoughts
