How to Fall Asleep Faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While some people with sleep disorders must be treated by a medical expert to find relief, many have found success with at-home remedies. Try our tips below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Power Down Electronics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sunlight helps set our circadian rhythm so that our bodies know it\u2019s time to wake up or go to sleep. However, blue lights in electronic screens like phones, tablets and computers are so bright they disrupt natural sleep signals. Put away all screens within an hour of bedtime. Instead of scrolling before bed, opt to read a book from Foggy Pine Books<\/a> to wind down.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLimit Caffeine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While there\u2019s nothing wrong with a fresh, hot cup of coffee or tea to start your day, caffeine causes sleep problems when consumed too late in the afternoon or in too great of quantities. Next time you get a craving for an afternoon treat, remember it takes about six hours for your body to process just half the caffeine in each serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stick to a Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Many of us have a routine when it comes to going to bed and waking up during the work week, but this tends to vary on weekends and holidays. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day to improve your ability to fall asleep. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Blue Ridge ENT today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
