Get your brain to relax!

Take time to relax before you go to bed. A bath or shower before you go to bed can be really useful.

Many sleep specialists suggest beathing excercises before sleep. Breathe, use your abdomen for deep breathing not your chest. Breathe in through your nose for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Pause for three seconds before breathing in again. Try this for 5 minutes before settling to sleep.

Keep your bedroom well ventilated and some people find that a little olbas oil , lavender oil or other sweet smelling herb oils  oin the bedroom aid sleep.

Make sure that your bedroom is dark with the minimum amount of light from outside

Don’t lie in bed tossing and turning. Leave the bedroom and find something absorbing like jigsaws or reading and don’t go back to bed until you feel sleepy. Don’t watch television!

Some people find that massage or aromatherapy  helps in preparing the mind and body for sleep.
