Question: I'm 15 and I've been having trouble sleeping at night. It usually takes me 2 to 4 hours to get to sleep. I can't focus on my lessons at school. Please help me!
Answer: If you are a person who doesn't regularly get a good night's sleep, you are not alone. Here are some tips for helping you get a good night's sleep.
Keep regular hours
By keeping regular hours your body and mind know what is coming up and can start to prepare for you to sleep. If you can't go to bed at a regular time, then make sure you get up at a regular time. So after a late night you wake up tired, and it forces you to go to bed earlier.
I know, you hear this about everything from heart health to losing weight, but exercise really does do you a world of good. However, don't do it too close to going to sleep. It is better to do it about an hour after dinner.
Relax before going to bed In fact, when you lie down to go to sleep, your mind is going to be thinking about the programs you have been watching. Instead, take just 20 or 30 minutes before bed to read or sit, anything that gets you to slow down and gives your mind a rest!
A. Take some exercise. B. And I usually get about 4 or 5 hours' sleep in a day. C. It also means you can get in regular number of hours each night. D. Many people suffer from sleep problems. E. You may think that watching TV before you go to bed is a good way to relax. |
