The expert recommended creating a set schedule and reading before bed as two ways to help your body prepare for sleep[/caption]

EAT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME

The expert, who goes by @productive.teen online, first said it’s important to eat dinner earlier in the night rather than later. 

According to American-made mattress brand Amerisleep, it’s ideal to eat dinner three hours before falling asleep to allow food to digest properly and better prepare your body for a good night’s rest.

SCHEDULE YOURSELF

Secondly, the expert said creating a sleep schedule in which you have set bed and wake-up times can help your body become comfortable with a regular routine, and therefore be ready for bedtime when it comes. 

RELAX YOUR BRAIN

Next, they said to “read or practice mindful activities” before you go to bed.

The United Kingdon’s top mattress retailer, Dreams, said reading is an ideal way to signal to your body that it’s time to unwind.

“This is because, when reading a good book, your mind is distracted from daily stresses and worries that causes tension,” its website reads.

“Reading also allows your muscles to relax and slows down your breathing, leaving you feeling calm.”

HELP YOUR BODY OUT

The expert’s fourth trick is to take a sleep supplement to help ease your body into sleep.

Melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone, is a natural remedy that is often used to help people get to sleep, as noted by Healthline.

SAY: “GOOD NIGHT” TO BLUE LIGHT

Finally, the expert recommended staying off of electronics for about an hour before you plan to fall asleep. 

Blue light from laptops and phones can reduce the production of melatonin in the body, therefore making it difficult to fall asleep, per SCL Health.

And if none of the abovementioned tips help, there’s a viral military-approved way of falling asleep in just two minutes.
