How To Fall Asleep – 5 Ways & Tips To Fall Asleep Fast & Quickly
I wanted to write you this article on how to fall asleep faster because it’s something that we all go through in our personal lives from time to time. We all know the feeling, your mind is racing and you can’t seem to get it to stop, but you don’t want to become addicted to those sleeping pills they are always talking about, so what can you do?
There are several ways to improve the quality of your sleep. Here are 5 tips and steps you can take to fall asleep faster.
1. Make sure you have a comfortable bed where you can get a comfortable night’s sleep. The best way to do this is to buy a decent mattress. A quality mattress is worth more than you think, considering you use it every night, so don’t hold back!
If you’re too hot or cold, add or remove blankets until comfortable. Adjust the temperature so it is cooler than usual, but not too cold, around 62 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal comfort temperature. Make sure to stock up on blankets if your not use to doing this, you might need them at the beginning.
2. Read something. Reading will help your mind focus on only one thing at a time, instead of racing about the day’s activities. Read something calming rather than an exciting thriller novel. Fairy tales and other fiction are good choices.
What I like to do is catch up on my business, marketing, leadership and personal development the last 2 hours before I pass out. What I have found is that if you go to sleep in a good mental and emotion state, the state you get when you are bettering yourself, I sleep like a baby.
I’m not sure what it is about reading, listening, or watching some good personal development training before going to sleep, but is sure has a positive impact on the quality of rest I get that night. Try it out, I think you’ll find the same results.
3. Practice deep breathing. If you’re having trouble trying to sleep, try a deep breathing exercise. Lie on your back in bed and breathe in deeply for four counts, watching your stomach rise, and then breathe out for four counts.
Your goal is to breath in and out about six times per minute. Do this for about ten minutes (60 breaths) and then switch so you’re lying on your right side, and repeat the breathing process.
4. Imagine yourself sinking into the mattress, starting from the very tips of your toes. When you loosen all your muscles, it gives the effect that you’re sinking in. In your mind, begin to “acknowledge” everything around you that all your senses are experiencing.
Say to yourself (not out loud), “I hear the clock ticking. I smell the lotion I just applied to my hands. I feel my legs’ weight on the bed. I hear my spouse/partner breathing. I see different shades of black. I hear the dog barking in the distance. I hear myself in my own mind talking.
This should help to clear your mind by slowly acknowledging everything and subsequently dismissing it. Stay on your back, sunk into the mattress until you feel it is time to roll into your desired position.
5. Meditate. Whatever is on your mind is probably there for a reason. When you meditate, do it the way you are supposed to. Keep your focus on one thing. Dismiss whatever it is racing through your mind, and forget about the situation.
Visualize yourself addressing your thoughts and resolving them. Or, meditate on a calming word or phrase. As you do this, it helps you to lower your heart rate and relax your muscles, making it easier for you to lay down and fall asleep quicker and faster. Many times this will work because you no longer have that burden on your mind and you can relax enough to fall asleep.
