Having trouble falling asleep? Before you get all serious and go looking for treatment for insomnia, consider making these small, but significant, changes in your nightly routine:
- End all screen time 30 minutes before bedtime. Read a book or listen to a podcast instead.
- Only use your bed for sleeping! Don’t lay in bed to play video games, read, or text.
- Keep a strict nighttime routine. If you need to be asleep by 10 pm, make sure you’re in bed by that time every night.
- Natural supplements, like ZMA or Melatonin, can be a great treatment for insomnia that doesn’t involve costly doctor’s appointments.
