10 Things To Do If You Can't Sleep

While lying in bed, tossing and turning, you may become frustrated in your inability to slip into slumber, perhaps even repeating over and over. "Damn, I've gotta sleep". The more you try to put yourself into sleep, the more conscious you become of not being able to doze off. Here are 10 things that might help you to fall asleep:

• Hide the alarm clock. If you wear a watch while you sleep, loose it! This is because, it acts as a constant reminder of how long it is taking you to fall asleep and how little time you have left before needing to get up. 
• Have a light snack before bed. Research indicates that a light snack can help you sleep more soundly. There's nothing like a grumbling stomach to keep you awake. (Food which are rich in magnesium or calcium)
• Visualization. Imagine your favorite vacation spot.
• Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). When you tense a muscle for a few seconds, it naturally wants to relax. You start at your toes and deliberately tense one muscle group at a time, progressively working your way up the body.
• Wool material for your mattress. The top layers of mattress cushioning are often what sell the customers. Comfort is what most people look for. But consider what the padding is made of. A cotton-polyester blend on top of polyurethane foam doesn't breath well.
• Choosing the right pillow. Find a pillow that makes you feel comfortable. Experiment with a variety of types, and stick with the one that provides you with the best night's sleep.
• Excess lights. Light tells your body its time to wake up, so the darker your bedroom the better.
• Sleeping away from home? One trick to getting sound sleep when away from home is to make the environment seem more familiar and homelike. A simple way to do this is to bring some objects from home.
• Moving? Check out the neighborhoods. Take sample of the neighborhood's noise. Check the thickness of the walls. Check out the traffic patterns in that area.
• Put pets in their place. Some pet likes to nuzzle up during the night. Some pets wake their owner at night just for company. Moving your pet from bed may be painful. You may even feel this is an act of betrayal. The truth is that your pet will never love you less.  

Well, those are the 10 facts that might help you sleep in peace and comfort.
