Sleep tips

Nature's Own Complete Sleep is great for those wanting a better night's sleep. There are lots of things you can also try:

  • Wait until you are sleepy before going to bed
  • Establish a regular bedtime by going to bed at the same time every night
  • Get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends
  • Before going to bed, do something that relaxes you and takes your mind off any worries
  • Use lighter-weight bed coverings and turn off central heating - becoming over-heated can disturb your sleep
  • Don’t have a heavy meal just before bedtime. If you are waking up with ‘night hunger’, eat a light protein snack before you retire
  • Don’t drink alcohol in the evening - it helps you fall sleep but causes disturbed sleep and over-heating during the night
  • Don’t engage in strenuous exercise before sleeping
  • Cut out coffee and tea or restrict it to mornings only
  • Don’t watch TV, read a book or think about problems. If you must do these things, go to another room to do it until you become sleepy
  • Keep your bedroom quiet, dark and conducive to sleeping
  • Never go to sleep in front of TV - go to bed when you start nodding off
  • If you are prone to worrying, write problems down before going to bed, together with possible solutions
  • Don’t stay awake for long periods in bed. If you aren’t asleep within 15 minutes of getting into bed, try getting up and doing something relaxing until you become sleepy again
  • Check for tense muscles when you go to bed and consciously try to relax them
  • Switch off your busy brain by picturing yourself in your favourite, peaceful place
  • Sleeping is like surfing, wait for the next 'sleep wave’ before trying to catch some shut-eye
  • Try to get some sunshine as soon as you wake up. This will help set your body clock
  • No clocks in the bedroom! Clocks can provide an unhelpful distraction, as you subconsciously ‘check’ to see how long you have been awake for, therefore keeping your mind active rather than relaxed
