2. Darken

The light emitted from the electronic screens causes strain on the eyes and makes the brain feel tired so avoid staring at any screen before falling in bed. If you have a habit of sleeping with your phone or any other electronic gadget next to you, it would be best to keep your phone switched off. Keep your phone in another room and avoid surfing the internet before going to bed. Keep digital usage to a minimum.
3. Light up

Many have a habit of waking up at night and waking up early in the morning. Our body follows the natural cycle of sleep according to the light of day and the darkness of night. If this cycle is disturbed by overwork or attending late night programs, we do not get enough sleep. The bedroom should be darkened to restore the natural sleep cycle. To do this, do not keep chargers or other devices near your bed that are too big and flashing light. Wearing an eye mask can be very helpful. If you are tired of long journeys, take a supplement called melanin. It resets your body's internal systems.



4. Knowledge of excellent sleeping conditions

Use a good hard bed and a pillow that fits your neck. I like to put one more pillow between my knees which gives more comfort. Sometimes even a thick blanket can help you get a good night's sleep. The main purpose of this is to give natural comfort to the neck and back. The more support these parts need, the more comfort they will get.
5. Exercise

Exercise of any kind helps to relax the body. Complete all exercises just three hours before bedtime. If you don't, your mind will become more agitated. Yoga is a very effective way to relax your muscles.
6. Diet

Plan your meal about two to three hours before bedtime. A glass of warm milk mixed with almonds and honey will work like magic to bring you good sleep. Eating too much or being hungry does not make you sleep better. Drinking too much fluids before going to bed will also make you go to the bathroom more often, so reduce the amount of fluids in the evening. Also avoid taking stimulants such as caffeine, smoking, drugs and alcohol, as it can make you feel nauseous for a while and can be addictive and deadly in the long run.

10. A sense of forgiveness

A light hearted and gentle mind is an excellent technique for bringing sleep easily. If you have offended someone or felt guilty, try to forgive or forget.
