Fall asleep faster

One of the most common sleep issues is difficulty falling asleep at the start of the night because of an overactive mind. For many young adults and teens, this is caused by puberty interfering with their circadian rhythm. Commitments such as work, school, chores, social life and sports can make it difficult to sleep enough too. Healthy sleep is especially important for physical, mental and emotional development. The following sleep improvement plan will give you the tools to help you relax and de-stress before bedtime.

About half of women aged 50 experience sleep difficulties often due to hormonal changes to their bodies.

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.

You are a shift worker who is finding it difficult to fall asleep even though you are exhausted.

What can I do about it?

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 a cup of a herbal tea before bed.

What can I do about it?

Have a consistent bedtime and rise time.

If you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, 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.

If you ever wake up tired, go out for some sunlight; it will make you feel less tired in the morning.

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

Being more active during the day and getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. This has been shown to shorten the time it takes to get to sleep and increase deep sleep, giving you a more restful and longer night’s sleep.

Maintain an active social life with family & friends to keep busy.

Spend time during the day doing tasks that work your brain (e.g., crosswords, sodoku and reading). They can improve your sleep too.

Medications such as those for heart conditions, blood pressure, asthma, diuretics, thyroid issues, depression & anxiety and corticosteroids may affect your sleep. Contact your GP or healthcare professional if you are concerned.
