Sometimes we know that we're gonna have a hard day tomorrow and we need to get some good sleep and relaxation before it. We want to fall asleep fast and we don't want to just lay in bed for hours unable to fall asleep. I recommend to go to sleep when you're sleepy, not so early that you don't have any chance to fall asleep. If you're tired and sleepy chances that you'll fall asleep are quite bigger. Here are few tips to fall asleep faster :
- Turn off all electronics and do not use any electronics half an hour before you go to sleep
- Keep your room dark and noise free
- Cold of your room, open the windows for few minutes, fresh air will likely put you to sleep
- Take hot shower
- Drink camomile tea and eat an apple (they have calming effects)
- Don't think about that things you have to do tomorrow (I know it's hard, but at least try to not think about it)
- Avoid caffeine in the afternoon
- Adjust your pillow before laying in to the bed
- Few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow will help you to fall asleep faster
I didn't include supplements, because I wanted to give some tips how to fall asleep faster on natural way. There are also phone apps that make some sounds on particular frequency that will help you fall asleep faster. I haven't tried out those apps, because they drain your battery life over night and when I have to go from home out in town I want to have fully charged phone.
