Have an Active Mind That Disrupts Your Sleep? 7 Tips to Help Shut It Down & Snooze!

To sleep, your mind and body need to be in a relaxed and peaceful state. Is it difficult switching your head off? Try these seven tips! 

  • Avoid caffeine after midday. Try chamomile tea. 
  • Meditate
  • Resolve any conflict or unfinished business, if possible, during the day. 
  • Keep a to-do list next to your bed to deal with the next day. 
  • Avoid excessive alcohol at night; it fragments sleep.
  • Burn lavender oil or use it in massage oil before you sleep. 
  • If you’re worrying about a situation you can't do anything about, learn to accept it. Make the most of it and be grateful that it isn't worse.

Soon you'll be sleeping like a baby!
