Insomnia

whether you suffer from occasional bouts of sleeplessness or full on insomnia, you probably know that excess energy, stress, and distractions can affect your ability to get adequate amounts of sleep. Here are a few tips for developing a lifestyle that's conducive to better sleep.
Don't go to bed upset, angry or anxious. Take action in your waking life to reduce stress, anxiety and negative feelings that hinder your sleeping life. Exercise, relaxation, and mediation techniques that are great for sleeping disorders related to stress abound.
If you work and live in the same space, this can affect your sleep. Put some neutral time between work and sleep activities. If you work in your bedroom, place a screen, curtain or some kind of divider between your sleeping area and your work area if possible.
Keep a sleep diary. If you have persistent insomnia, track your diet and sleep behavior to look for patterns.
Comfortable bedding. Your bedding should be comfortable and non-restricting. Use an inviting pillow as well. Natural fibers are best as synthetic fibers can cause static and even electromagnetic interference.
A good mattress. If you have a bad mattress that's old, warped and buckled, you're probably not waking up refreshed from a good night's sleep every morning. A comfortable, supportive mattress, although it could be a bit of an investment, can make a world of difference. If you use a futon, try placing a thick sheet of plywood under the mattress for when you're not using it as a couch.
Stick to a regular sleep routine as much as possible. Go to bed and get up as consistently as you can. Bright, early morning sunlight helps reset the human circadian clock, which is based on 24.8 hours. Getting used to rising early will help you get to bed earlier and fall asleep easier.
