Amazing ways on how to fall asleep instantly!

If your like me then its probably really hard to get to sleep. Your either distracted by your phone,your anxious,your nervous or something is distracting your mind. You may also be struggling to sleep during quarantine aswel as you have nothing to do the next day so your going to sleep at 3 am and waking up at 12pm! I do not recommend this as when you do go back to work/school it will be hard to get back into the routine of waking up early. Im not saying to go to sleep early as you want to make the most of your day and chill but i think that its better to know when you should go to sleep and how you should get to sleep.  Don't worry i know the struggle. That is why i am, going to share my top tips on how to fall asleep instantly, so you can wake up and actually want to get out of bed. 

1. Avoid bright screens or light before sleep! Before sleeping i recommend avoiding bright lights. So maybe switch off your lights and try to avoid your t.v or phone screen, or just turn the brightness down. If you leave your bright lights on and then switch them off right before you go to sleep then it wont give your eyes time to settle down, so about half hour before you know your going to sleep i would switch your lights off and turn your phone brightness down.

2. Try yoga or meditation before bed. Before you go to sleep try doing some yoga. This relaxes you muscles and makes you less tense and ready for sleep. Many people use yoga all over the world. You can find videos on YouTube or you can sign up to a class. You can also buy a really cheap yoga mat of eBay or amazon to use. >>>> link. 

3. Avoid naps during the day. If you tend to take naps during the day stop now!! This is really bad for your sleep pattern as you will not be able to go to sleep at night. Firstly you are taking your day away, when you could be doing so much more important things, it also prevents you sleeping at night as you wont be tired. So you will nap, then be awake all night then sleep all morning and take your naps during the day.  You will basically turn nocturnal! This can also stop you being social as you wont be meeting with any of your friends as you will be to busy napping! So if you don't want to be a lonely nocturnal person then don't nap!

4. Don't look at the time! When your awake in the middle of the night it is very tempting to look at the time but don't! This makes you more awake as it will make you more anxious and if you use your phone you will also be shining a bright light in your face which will make you even more awake. Overall just don't look at the time, trust me its better you don't know the time!

5. Visualise things that make you happy. When your sleeping try to think of things that make you happy or try to think of random scenarios and what you would do in them, trust me it really help, Its also good to think of a plan for what your going to do the next day, and think of all the good things that are coming up!

That's all my tips for today! Hope they helped you :)
