Do you find it difficult to fall asleep? do you lay awake at night tossing and turning? How rested do you feel in the morning?
Here are a few Tips from Dr. Falk on how to get a better sleep:
- Maintain a regular wake time, even on days off/weekends
- Keep a regular schedule. Regular time for meals, medications, chores & other activities help keep your inner clock running smoothly
- Try to go to bed only when you are drowsy
- If you are unable to fall asleep after 30 minutes, GET UP! Leave your room & engage in a quiet activity. Don’t try to fall asleep outside the bedroom. Return to bed when you are tired. Sleep is like a train schedule: If you miss a train, you have to wait for the next one, and it won’t come any quicker if you lie in bed and feel frustrated because you can’t sleep.
- Bedroom is for Intimacy, Sleep, & times of illness
- Avoid napping during the daytime
- Establish a relaxing pre-sleep ritual, 10 minutes of meditation, enjoy a nice calming tea, do a little journalling. Anything to help put your body into a relaxed state.
