Anyone who knows me in real life will probably be aware that I've had problems with sleeping for just about as long as I can remember. Recently I had quite an intense period of insomnia (I got off to sleep fine however would wake sometimes as early at 2am and be completely unable to get back to sleep!) however I've overcome it and found out a few ways of ensuring I get the best night's sleep possible.
Switch Off
这是不喜欢的人，但这是您可以做的最有用的事情之一！关闭手机和笔记本电脑至少一个小时才能入睡。您也可以尝试在晚上旋转屏幕亮度，以使您的眼睛休息。
Relax
有一些时间。做一个口罩，燃烧蜡烛，听轻松的音乐，读书...无论您想做什么。我喜欢薰衣草的气味，可以帮助我放松身心。我经常会在燃烧器中燃烧薰衣草油。我推荐的其他产品是L'Occitane Relaxing Pillow Mist(£14) andDeep Sleep Dream Cream(£18), I also hear a lot of people rave over the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. Obviously they're not sedatives but they'll help to get you into that sleepy mood. It sounds silly but if your mind is ticking over with ideas or things you need to do, try writing a list before bed so you can sleep easy without having all of it on your mind.
Find the Perfect Conditions
Especially now it's getting light before 6am, your sleep might be being disrupted by daylight. Try investing in blackout blinds or at least an eye mask. If you live near a main road, you might want to get some ear plugs. Even if you don't consciously notice it, these can be things that disrupt your sleeping.
Don't Eat Too Late

If you live near a main road, you might want to get some ear plugs. Even if you don't consciously notice it, these can be things that disrupt your sleeping.
Don't Eat Too Late
I think having a big meal too late can really disrupt your sleeping patterns. Likewise it can be really hard to get to sleep on an empty stomach, especially if you wake up in the middle of the night and you're starving! Try just having something plain like a piece of toast.
Your Bed is for Sleep
如果您像我一样，那么很多晚上都会坐在床上或在床上，如果您喜欢在学生住房中，那么您将在房间里花费很多时间是不可避免的。但是，这样做太多了可以阻止您在睡觉时关闭，因此请尝试在晚上坐在休息室（即使您是唯一的人回家！）
Don't Get into Bad Habits
Sleep disorders can be a vicious cycle; the anxiety over what will happen if you don't get enough sleep can lead to you not being able to sleep! It's hard to break the habit but try to see each night as a clean slate and not worry over how you felt the night before. Also, try not to use over the counter sleeping aids too much, as you don't want to become dependent on them. They should only really be used for a night or two to re-set your sleeping pattern. It doesn't really treat the root cause as not being able to sleep without them might become a self-fulfilling prophecy...
If it's Not Happening, Do Something Else
When I wake up in the night my immediate reaction is worry over getting back to sleep but that can be the worst thing possible! If you're not asleep within about half an hour of going to bed, chances are it's not going to happen. Try getting up and doing something else. If you're starving, go and have a bit of toast, otherwise 15 minutes reading a book can do the job. It's best to avoid just lying there trying to get to sleep for over an hour.

Do you struggle to get to sleep? What are your top tips for a good night's rest?
This is such a useful post, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night
Reply删除The daylight always wakes me up, why have I never thought of getting an eye mask!
If I wake up in the middle of the night, I start playing a game on my phone and soon I feel sleepy enough to sleep:)
Even though I know that's not really good for my eyes, but at least I don't do it often

I agree - Lavender is so calming xx
删除我一直睡眠问题,但这些days I'm not quite as bad. This post was really helpful and made me think about getting out of some bad habits I have myself! One of my worst is counting how many hours sleep I'll have left if I fall asleep right that minute and stressing out when it falls under 8 although I know I can be fine on as little as 5! So thanks fir this post :)

Oh my gosh - are you me? I do the exact same thing! It's the worst thing to do! xx
删除useful post :) last week I was very nervous and I woke up around 2am and I could not go to sleep until 4am and then I had to wake up again at 6.30am .... I don't have sleeping problems much tho. hugs
Reply删除Aww that's awful - if it's not a habit then that's definitely a plus though xx
删除我最近一直难以入睡，这篇文章确实很有帮助：)我总是在睡觉之前阅读，这确实可以帮助我放松。我可能会在我上床睡觉之前开始照明蜡烛，但听起来很放松！x x x

删除我有时难以入睡，所以这对我有帮助。我绝对会花很多年的时间睡觉，因为我倾向于在我上床睡觉之前过度思考事情！

I do the same! I find the lists help as you can sort of empty your mind on a page and once you've made a note you don't have to worry about remembering it xx
删除Loved this post; when I was younger I definitely had trouble falling asleep, after a few simple lifestyle changes though I've managed to get into a routine and while I still sometimes struggle, for the most part I'm able to fall asleep and stay asleep relatively easy!

是的，我想我经历了阶段，但比以前要好得多
删除I have a lot of trouble sleeping too so this post was really helpful. If I'm indoors in the evening I definitely try to sit in the lounge rather than in my room otherwise I find it much harder to sleep. I find I sleep better if I keep busy during the day too, even if I don't have plans I try to get out of the house (even if it's just for a walk), then I feel more sleepy when it comes to bedtime.

是的，这是的 - 如果您整天都久坐不动，您没有使用太多能量，所以睡觉xx很难
删除Ooh I needed to read a post like this because my sleeping is all over the place, and I’ve been getting up randomly through the night without being able to get back to sleep. The last point was really interesting as I end up just lying there waiting for my to get to sleep whether it takes half an hour to two hours lol.

I'm the same - so frustrating! I often find the longer I lie there in wait the more anxious I get about it xx
删除Th is a great post, having trouble sleeping is the worse!

删除这是一个很棒的茉莉花，对那些在常规睡眠中挣扎的人有帮助。幸运的是，我的睡眠没有问题，但是几年前，我会在清晨醒来，无法重新入睡，这是非常令人沮丧和压力的xx

删除Oh I just love this post! Though seeing a bed (Whos accidentaly identical to mine) after only 2 hours of sleep last night might not be the best idea when your at work :)

删除Hahaha so funny, my post scheduled for this Sunday is the exact same topic! Hope people don't think I'm a copy cat ;)
Reply删除吃太晚是我在家里挣扎的一件事，我的家人有时候喜欢吃晚上8点至9点，这对我来说太迟了，我最终会在7ish左右做食物，因为我饿了，知道我不会睡觉如果我吃得太晚了！

It's such a hard balance - not having a heavy meal too late but not eating so early your stomach's rumbling by bedtime! xx
删除I am lucky that I don't struggle to sleep but I always think that reading makes me sleepy so if I was to find it hard to sleep that that is what I do.
Reply删除Great post though :)

Such a vicious cycle :( xx
删除I go through phases of being able to sleep well and having terrible sleep, when Im not sleeping I always make sure to turn off technology and have about an hour to myself before sleeping, reading, chilling whatever I want. I am guilty of using my bed for more than sleep, I do work in it, go on my laptop, eat, being a student means my room is my only me space and my desk chair is uncomfy and my room freezing so bed is a must.

Yeah it's so hard when you're at uni to make your bedroom a restful place xx
删除I struggle hugely with sleep. I have the Rescue Remedy night time one that you put four drops on you tongue and I find it calms me down. I also have a roller ball from Boots that you put onto your temples which helps too. Camomile tea is helpful and ensuring I have done everything e.g homework also puts my mind at ease! I find that when I really can't sleep that squeezing each muscle from your feet upwards actually helps - I read it somewhere and it just relieves tension and makes you feel a lot more at ease.

I love camomile tea too! I'll have to have a look for some of your product recommendations :) xx
