10 Tips To Get More Restful Sleep
Sleep is so important and can really have a big impact on overall health. With so many distractions in our lives these days, getting the most restful sleep can be quite challenging. I have partnered with Dreamwater on this post to share with you my personal tips on how I enjoy a deeper sleep. All opinions are my own.
10 Tips To Get a Deeper Sleep
- Exercise – Being more active during the day always helps me sleep better at night. What time of the day to workout is the tricky part. Sometimes I am ready for bed right after a workout. Other times, exercise can leave me totally energized and restless. So, find what is best for you. I think morning workouts are probably best for several reasons.
- Limit Caffeine – Stop the caffeine after 3-4 pm or even earlier so it doesn’t interfere with your sleep. Even if you think it doesn’t bother you, it might be limiting your time in a good, deep sleep.
- Drink Dream Water – Dream Water is a drug-free sleep-shot that contains a blend of natural ingredients that help you fall asleep faster and sleep sounder.
- Darken Your Room – Try to limit as much light as possible from coming into your bedroom. Wear sleep shades if you can tolerate them.
- Aromatherapy – Certain essential oils can be very relaxing, like lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and my personal favorite – eucalyptus. Find what works for you.
- Meditate – Relax your mind and try to mentally erase all racing thoughts before you lay down for the night. Possibly jot down any ideas and last minute notes so they aren’t running though your mind all night.
- New Pillow – Get at least one insanely comfy pillow. Throw out the old, smooshed ones that have completely lost their form. I have several pillows all around me strategically placed for the ultimate comfort.
- Temperature Check – Don’t even try to sleep in the heat! Turn on the A/C or get a fan so you can sleep well.
- Move Gadgets – Charge your gadgets in another room, if possible. The white noise and even some lights that they emanate can mess with your sleep.
- No Booze – Regardless of what people think about alcohol making them sleepy, it actually does not give you the good, restful sleep that your body requires.
These are just my personal tips! I am not a medical professional, so see a doctor if you have insomnia issues.
About Dream Water
My husband and I have both been taking Dream Water quite often when we feel like the extra relaxation is needed. Especially with Mike working the crazy hours that he has been. He goes from day shift to night shift sometimes in the same 24 hour period! How the heck do you adjust to that sleep schedule?
We always keep Dream Water on hand so he can take a shot to help him wind down. He finds that it really helps him better than anything else that he has tried – including over-the-counter sleep aid pills.
Dream Water has found a cocktail of 3 ingredients that work together to help you relax, fall asleep, and stay asleep soundly. GABA helps to relax, MELATONIN helps induce sleep, and 5-HTP improves the quality of sleep.
I would suggest giving Dream Water a try if you need a little help sleeping better. I have also taken it to relax me on plane rides because I am such a nervous flyer.
Please ask your doctor before trying any supplements. Only take this when you feel you need it, not every day.
Order Dream Water online through their website, on amazon.com, or drugstore.com. Also look for it at your local
What is your best tip to sleep better?
This is helpful to know because I often don’t get a chance to get restful sleep… with a 3 month old 🙂
a fan always helps me sleep!
I used to meditate. I need to start again!
Fabulous tips! I have found some meditation techniques that really work for me.
I am so loving these tips. Some are common sense but it helps to be reminded.
Yes, I am the queen of needing reminders on the simplest things! lol
We totally make our room a cave! The darker, the better!
I’m going to print this as a checklist. It seems like by the time I think about this stuff, i’m too tired to actually do anything.
I do a lot of these each night and still have trouble sleeping. I need to try dream water.
Ohh thanks for your great tips .. I sooo need to get a better night sleep will give them a try…. hoping they work for me, too…:-)
Sleep? What’s this “sleep” you speak of?!? LOL… so sleep water? I have never heard of this, but thanks for sharing. I REALLY need to try this!
I’ve never tried Dream Water but I would love to give it a try.
I didn’t realize you should cut the caffeine out that early in the day. Ooops, I have it within an hour or two of bedtime. 🙁
i rarely get good sleep. i hate our mattress and i have anxiety so i tend to lay in bed thinking about how much i hate our mattress and if we can afford a new one and what kind should we get and if i’ll hate that one too. it’s fun.
I have tried the Dream Water. It does work, but I also like to take melatonin.
I must admit that I am a sound sleeper however my daughter is not and I am going to suggest she try the Dream Water.
never heard of this before but it sounds like a nice product for those who have trouble sleeping!
Great article! I have problems sleeping most nights and haven’t tried some of these so I think I will try them. It’s so important to good health to get good and restful sleep! Thanks!
