I’ve had this problem lately, I can’t sleep very well and when I manage to get a good sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night and..well…you know the rest. So I’ve thought about what the reasons could be and what I can do to deal with the situation. This is what I came up with:

1. Avoid complicated and unpleasant discussions before going to sleep. Otherwise you will have what to think about and you won’t catch any sleep. Try to relax!
2. Have an easy meal at dinner, but by no means are you to pass it. If you go to sleep on an empty stomach there’s a great possibility that your sleep is disturbed by hypoglycemia. Your body needs nutrients, ok? Offer it sufficient, but not too much!
3. How about having dinner at least one hour before actually going to bed? I’m doing this mistake, I often go to bed with a snack and eat while I’m reading a book and go asleep. Wrong! Your stomach should have time to process that food.
4. Maintain a low temperature in your bedroom, somewhere around between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius. It makes your body enter a relaxing state, preparing to…hibernate J
5. Oh, I’ve just heard about this and it explains a lot, especially during winter. Don’t take Vitamin C in the evening! Vitamin C prevents muscular relaxation and cerebral tension from happening. I’m not even going to mention that you should not eat or drink any products which contain caffeine…and…you should not smoke.
6. Last, but not least, there’s one more thing that’s better than a sleeping pill. I’m sure you all know what I’m referring to

There you go, now you should be able to go to sleep like a baby!
