Lower the temperature

If your room is too warm, you will have trouble falling asleep. Adjusting your thermostat to a cooler temperature may be beneficial.

The 4-7-8 breathing technique

Close your mouth and take four slow, deep breaths through your nose. Hold your breath for seven counts. Exhale through your mouth for eight counts, making a whoosh sound. Repeat the procedure three times more for a total of four breath cycles.

Yoga, meditation and mindfulness

Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness help to reduce stress and improve sleep by releasing body tension and stress. You could also listen to soft and relaxing music.

Avoid day naps

Due to lack of sleep during the night, people with insomnia tend to compensate by sleeping during the day. This affects your night-time sleep schedule and pushes you into a detrimental loop of nighttime sleep deprivation.

Turn off the electronics

Electronic devices emit blue light which has been found to suppress the production of melatonin: a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain at night that has long been linked to the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. So, avoiding any electronic devices at night will help you sleep better.
