Our twenty first century lifestyles are fast-paced and full of stimulation. Often from the moment when we wake up and check our smart phones, life is non-stop. We put on the radio or television to be given the news as it happens and when it happens, we check our emails constantly throughout the day; we sit at our computers and/or watch television late into the evening. It barely stops and it can be difficult to switch off and wind down so it’s small wonder that many of us have trouble sleeping. In order to help you wind down:
• Reduce the intensity of light in your home in the evenings by using dimmer switches or lamps with low wattage bulbs.
• Have a bedtime routine and maintain a regular sleep pattern.
• Use a hot water bottle if you get cold feet.
• Empty your bladder before going to bed.
• Avoid alcohol.
• Avoid use of technology in the hours before bedtime including computers, mobile phones and televisions.
• Avoid napping during the day.
