7 Tips to Get a Better Sleep According to Psychologists

How to get rid of sleep problems? When was the last time you had a really great night’s sleep? Yesterday? Last year? When you were a child? Anything from body pain to your sleeping position to your emotions can disrupt your sleep cycle, causing you to wake up fatigued. So what’s the answer?

Choose a set time to get up every morning and a time to head to bed. Try to follow this routine even during the weekends so that you don’t confuse your inner clock. This is a great way of fighting insomnia since your body will biologically begin to shut down come bedtime. It follows that, psychologically, your mind will also begin to calm down so that you fall asleep as soon as you’ve wrapped yourself in the blankets.

SUMMARY:
– According to psychologist Dr. Sherrie Bourg Carter, if you don’t fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes, it’s best to get up and do something unstimulating. In other words, something super-chill that your brain doesn’t become too engaged with.
– Make sure there aren’t any distracting noises in your room to keep you awake at night. If you can’t lower the volume of outside noise, use earplugs. If your room isn’t dark enough, get some shades for your windows, or wear a sleep mask.
– Then try muscle relaxation while lying down. Focus on different parts of your body. Start with your head and neck, and try to relax every muscle until you reach your toes. Make sure every muscle goes fully limp and that you aren’t holding any tension.
– CBT is a particular kind of therapy where a person’s false beliefs are re-examined. For sleep, it can go like this: The person might have a belief that they will be unable to fall asleep, so the behavior might be that they don’t head to bed when they should, which leads to feelings of fear next time it’s bedtime.
– The best pillow for you will depend on your sleeping position. Are you a back sleeper? Get a pillow that’s not too fluffy but has extra loft on the bottom to cradle your neck. Are you a side sleeper? Make sure you get a firm pillow to fill up the space between your neck and the mattress.
– In the battle for the best sleep position, there is one that keeps your body in a neutral alignment, doesn’t put pressure on your joints, and wards off acid reflux. Back sleeping rules over all others!
