Tips for difficulty sleeping

Sleep is important to our body. Young people sleep 8 to 10 hours per night. But when we reach the age of 50 and above, sleep will be reduced to 6-7 hours per night. Those aged 70 and over are sometimes only 4-5 hours if they sleep at night.

Here are some tips for those who have difficulty sleeping:

1. Sleep the same time every night. Lie down on the bed at the appointed time, such as at 9 pm.

2. Do not take a nap. When you sleep in the afternoon, you will not be drowsy at night.

3. Exercise in the morning or afternoon. When our body is tired, it is easier to sleep at night.

4. Do not drink coffee or iced tea in the afternoon or evening. They contain caffeine that wakes us up.

5. Listen to a little music. Relax. You can also massage and bathe in lukewarm water.

6. Do not use sleeping pills. Alcohol problems can also wake you up early in the morning. And then you have a hang-over.

7. There are vitamins and supplements you can try. Take Vitamin B complex. It enables eating and also helps with sleep.

8. Try Melatonin Supplements. According to Dr. Rebecca Castillo, melatonin helps with sleep and strengthens our immune system.

9. If Vitamin B complex or Melatonin is not effective for you, you can prescribe Sleeping Pills. But you should only take Sleeping Pills occasionally because it is addictive.

10. When you can't really sleep, just lie down on the bed. Even if you are awake it is okay because your body can rest. When you lie down for 2 hours, it is as if you have slept for 1 hour.
