Have you been spending a lot of time lying in bed at night, but can’t get yourself to sleep? There are different possible reasons behind this.
Anxiety
Have you been lying down at night, mostly stressed because you can’t get yourself to doze off? Have you been watching the clock all night, making you feel even more frustrated that you toss and turn, making it even more difficult to relax? The truth is, people get anxious when they do something at night so they can go to sleep, but fail to do so – anxiety is one of the things that’s keeping you awake at night.
Sleep Environmental Factors
Check your environment. Is there something in your bedroom that’s causing sleep disturbance? How’s the temperature? Is it too hot, or cold? How about the lights? Is it too bright? Are you having difficulties dozing off because the mattress feels uncomfortable, or are you anxious about the fact that your room is cluttered? All of these things, no matter how simple they seem, maybe causing you sleeping problems. Solve your mattress issue with a Stearns and Foster mattress.
Irregular Sleep Schedules
You’ve taken an afternoon nap, or you don’t have a bedtime routine – so you sometimes stay up all night, or sleep as early as 7pm. It’s possible that your body clock’s out of sync making it difficult for you to get the shut-eye you’ve wanted.
Drinks Before Bedtime
Alcohol and caffeine are two beverages that you shouldn’t take before bedtime.
Difficulties Relaxing
Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed can cause sleep disturbances. Try meditation and clear your mind to help you doze off.
