Quiet my busy mind | Male

What can I do about it?

Before you start winding down for bed, plan time in the evening to write down a quick list of all your worries to things-to-do. Once you've written it down, try and forget everything on the list and do something relaxing.

Have a consistent bedtime and rise time.

Get yourself tired before you go to bed. If it takes longer than 30 minutes to sleep, get up and do something else until you are sleepy.

Wind down and relax your mind with an activity like journaling, meditation, reading or listening to music.

Keep your bedroom cool rather than warm as it’s more conducive to good sleep.

Reduce your caffeinated beverage intake to no more than 1 a day and none after 2 pm.

Limit your blue-light exposure from devices such as smartphones and laptops as it can make us feel more alert before bed.

Small sleep aids can help you ease into sleep, for example, a sleep mist spray you use on your body or your linen, or having a soothing cup of tea.

Quiet my busy mind

It’s normal to have periods of anxiety and stress when your mind is too busy thinking to sleep. Sometimes this can lead to you worrying about not being able to sleep, making it even worse. As we mature and age, you may also feel tired throughout the day and wish you had more energy to do the things you want. This means it’s even more important to look after your sleep. The following sleep improvement plan can help.

It’s normal to have periods of anxiety and stress when your mind is too busy thinking to sleep. Sometimes this can lead to you worrying about not being able to sleep, making it even worse. As we mature and age, you may also feel tired throughout the day and wish you had more energy to do the things you want. This means it’s even more important to look after your sleep. The following sleep improvement plan can help.

The sleep hormone melatonin becomes released earlier in the day, forcing you to feel tired earlier and wake up earlier the next morning.

The amount of melatonin released compared with when you’re younger is reduced, so you may find it more difficult to fall asleep.

The amount of sleep you need as you get older does not decrease, with studies showing people over the age of 65 still require 6-8 hours.

If you find that you have developed snoring or have breathing pauses in your sleep, you should take a sleep test.

What can I do about it?

Have a consistent bedtime and rise time.

Find an uplifting morning routine that aids your natural body clock and metabolism.

Expose yourself to light as soon as you wake up as it’ll help you feel more awake.

Exercise in the morning to increase your energy levels

Eat a nutritious breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up. This will give you the fuel you need to achieve your daily tasks.

If you are feeling tired in the morning after a late night, it’s best not to sleep in for more than one hour; a 20-minute power nap in the afternoon or earlier bedtime that night is better.

Limit your blue-light exposure from devices such as smartphones and laptops as it can make us feel more alert before bed.

Incontinence can affect your sleep too, so try to limit liquids in the evening and go to the toilet before getting into bed.

It’s important to learn how to relax and destress, as poor sleep will eventually affect your mental health and academic performance. The following sleep improvement plan can help.
