How to Get Good Quality Sleep

I was battling insomnia for years. I didn’t know what to do or how to handle that problem. I would go to bed early, I would read a book before going to bed, I would take a shower, but nothing helped.  I couldn’t figure out what was the problem. I started going to therapist, but he didn’t have a solution for me. I was desperate, and I didn’t know how to solve my problem. I am aware that this is a common problem in our society, so I decided to give you some tips on how to solve that problem, and how to handle it.

1.       Don’t stress over it- If you are thinking about how you didn’t sleep at all previous night, or how you slept only 3 hours, you will add additional stress to your body or your mind. That was my biggest problem when I was an insomniac. Control your mind; don’t let the negative thoughts take over.

2.       Take a relaxing bath- Bath will help your body relax, and you will also enjoy it. I usually go to “Lush” and buy myself a bath bomb. You could also be reading a book while taking a long and relaxing bath.

3.       Turn off your devices- Your cell phone and your laptop will only distract you. I know that because I used to go to bed, and I used to spend additional 2 hours on my phone not doing anything, just reading irrelevant articles. Instead of getting quality sleep, I was wasting my time.

4.       Go to bed by 10pm- Get good quality sleep

5.       Make your room dark and quiet

6.       Avoid eating before you go to bed

7.       Use essential oils- My favorite ones are menthol and eucalyptus. I put a drop or two on my pillow, and it helps me fall asleep

8.       Have a cup of tea before going to bed

Remember, getting enough sleep is crucial for your health. Implement these tips to your routine and I assure you that your insomnia will go away.
