Insomnia affects all people of all ages. While women often deal with lack of sleep more than men, even children are not immune to insomnia.
We tend to be timid to mention this concern to our family doctor. There could be an underlying fear of receiving a prescription of sleeping pills. There are some home remedies that can be considered and yes, they even may be suggested by your doctor. We’ ve included some tips below if you still wish to avoid that visit to the family doctor!
Here are some actions to achieve healthy sleep:
-
View your bed as a place for sleeping, not for reading or watching a movie or doing work on. Take the time and money necessary to ensure you have a good quality mattress and pillow.
-
Keep your sleeping area quiet, a comfortable temperature and coverings on the windows.
-
Maintain a regular sleeping routine, even on holidays!
-
Avoid caffeine, nicotine, sugar and alcohol before bedtime.
-
Allow 3 hours after eating a large meal before going to bed as well as limiting liquid intake.
-
Enjoy a quiet activity an hour before bed such as reading.
-
Avoid taking naps during the day.
Working towards healthy sleep habits will allow you to rest and recharge both physically and mentally to be ready for each day.
