Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder that mostly affects adults. This condition
prevents you from sleeping which can greatly deteriorate your health and lead
to inflammation, weight gain, muscle loss, and a weaker immune system. Having
trouble falling and/or staying asleep is a serious situation and should be
treated as soon as possible by a medical professional.
In many cases, this sleep disorder is
related to anxiety, depression, poor sleep habits, lack of exercise or some
chronic illness and medications.
However,
some easy habits may help you overcome insomnia and finally get to sleep!
Here
have a look at 10 tips to beat insomnia.

Many
studies have shown the negative effect of blue light on our ability to sleep. In
order to make the most of your sleep, make sure to cut out any blue light before
you sleep, this includes:
- No TV before bed (or at least 1h-2h
before going to bed)
- No social media browsing or any
screen watching
However,
you could go for having a blue light filter which may help, but that’s not
going to solve your sleep disorder. Cut out any screen watching at least two
hours before bedtime.

An
easy way to get your body to feel sleepy around night time and more energized in
the morning is to start sleeping and waking up at the exact same time every
day. This will help your body with a number of things such as timing deep
sleep. It is best to time this so you can have enough time to prepare in the
morning with 8 hours of sleep per day.

Avoid
any caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol at least 6 hours before going to bed. It’s
always recommended to cut out any smoking, although if you like to drink
coffee, make sure you drink your last cup in the morning and certainly not at
night. Caffeine has a half-life of 8 hours in your body.
Exercising
in the morning can help you with a number of things, the first being that it’s
very healthy for the body, and the second is that it helps you sleep better and
earlier. If you do some form exercise in the morning, then you’re likely going
to be tired at night.
Eating
will trigger a response in the body to increase the digestive system work
capacity, this will make you feel slightly hotter and even sweatier. It’s very
common for people to feel energized after a meal
