Are you looking for ways to fall asleep faster? Have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep at night? You’re not alone. Millions of people across the globe have trouble falling asleep at night. Some experts have even blamed it on our highly technical, connected lives. When you’re always looking at an electronic device, it stimulates the brain so much that it can be difficult to wind down at bedtime. Another reason is anxiety or stress. It seems like the longer you lay in bed, the harder it is to drift off to sleep. Your mind races and you become even more anxious as you think about all the things you have to do the next day.

Still, we all know how bad it is to not get enough beauty sleep. This is when your body recuperates from all the stress you put it through during the day. Sleep is very important so if you’re not getting enough at night, you need to correct that right away. Millennials sometimes take sleep for granted. If you’re partying hard all night and getting up early to rush off to work (likely downing some strong coffee on the way), then you might be aging yourself more quickly, putting yourself at greater risk for illness, and even hurting your job performance. So let’s take a look at how you can get more sleep (aside from the obvious step of just committing to getting to bed earlier).

Here are three ways to fall asleep faster so you can get the rest your body needs.

  1. Keep the room at a comfortable temperature. When you’re too hot or too cold, it makes it difficult to fall asleep. A comfortable temperature will help your body relax and ease your mind so you can drift off a lot faster and sleep more soundly. Some people like it to be a little cooler so they can snuggle under the blankets. Other people want it to be warm. There is no right or wrong way to do it; just do what’s right for you.
  2. Eliminate irritating noises. Do you have a clock that ticks so loud at night that you want to throw it out the door or do you hear the humming noise from your computer or other electronics? Look for ways to eliminate or at least drown out irritating noises that keep you awake. If you’re bothered by all the noises in the night, consider a sound machine or white noise machine. This is a great way to buffer the sounds with white noise to help you fall asleep. I personally use the one linked and it’s great, especially for the price!
  3. Write your thoughts down prior to going to bed. If your mind is racing and full of ideas, writing them down will help clear your head so these thoughts don’t keep you awake all night. Keep a journal by your bed. The act of writing/journaling before bed can also be very relaxing and will help you wind down from a busy day or from time spent on electronics.

You need a good night of proper sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready for whatever challenges the new day brings. You will feel better, be more alert and be in a better mood when you rest peacefully. The tips above can help you fall asleep faster, so you can get the rest your body needs to stay healthy. Take steps to get a better night’s sleep and you’ll feel better, have more energy and be more productive. You owe it to yourself!
