Breathing problem, severe pain and other disorders will not let us sleep properly. Consult your doctor if you have insomnia due to the above reasons. Here are few tips that will be effective in making you find a peaceful sleep.
1. Keep a regular time to sleep every time.
2. Do not force yourself to sleep. Sleep only when you feel sleepy.
3. Avoid afternoon naps. Just have 30 minutes of short sleep if you can not avoid.
4. Do not consume tea, coffee and cola 4 hours before sleep. The same applies for cigarettes.
5. Drink a cup of milk half an hour before your bedtime.

Thank you for these great tips. Luckily, I have no problems falling asleep. I only sleep for maybe five hours a night so when I do go to bed I’m ready to go to sleep.

These might be helpful for me. Have you ever thought of writing one about sleeping during the day for people like me who are third shift workers. It feels so hard to get sleep when the sun is up. Great piece and I love the pictures
