If you’ve been having a tough time falling asleep at night, chances are that you need to be on the lookout for some important signs and course corrections. Read on to know more. Here are the reasons you should know
1. You are worried
Anxious thoughts can interfere with your sleep and prevent you from having a good night’s rest.
Even if you finally sleep, you might not find it restful. Letting go of your anxious thoughts and worries is a prerequisite to sleeping well.
2. Your sleeping environment is not conducive
The way you lay your bed is how you will lie on it. You are more likely to sleep when the bed is laid, the blinds or curtains are drawn, the lights are off, and the room temperature is conducive.
3. Eating habits
Drinking caffeinated beverages or drinks with a lot of sugar will disrupt your sleep because your body will convert it to energy.
Eating late is not a good idea too because you might also stay awake because of indigestion.
4. You are distracted
Your television is on, you are watching an addictive series on Netflix, scrolling through social media or chatting with friends. There is no way you would feel like sleeping or sleeping on time.
5. You have a sleeping disorder
Sometimes, it is a more serious problem, it could be sleep apnea or insomnia and in this case, you have to see a doctor.
