Practical tips for dealing with insomnia that definitely help

1. Try to relax about 1 to 2 hours before bed
From the afternoon onwards try to reduce all factors  that stimulate body and mind. Dim the lights and slow down the pace of your movements. Do things that relax you, such as reading a book, yoga, or taking a warm bath. In any case, avoid using the mobile phone or tablet.

2. Avoid caffeine in the afternoon
The effect of caffeine is different from person to person, but if you are having trouble sleeping, then you can look for the culprit in caffeine. You can also try replacing any source of caffeine (chocolate, tea, soft drinks) with alternatives.

3. The sleep routine
Sleep should be a routine function, i.e. follow roughly the same schedule and procedure. Make it a point to go to bed at the same time every night no matter what. Studies have shown that the time one goes to bed is not as important as going to bed regularly at the same time every night. Consistency is considered the key to establishing a healthy sleep routine.

5. When we lie down, we don't think about our problems
If you are stressed, do your best to relax before going to bed. One way to do this is to regulate your breathing, which is a process that activates the relaxation response and helps you 'clear your mind' of what's on your mind.

6. Avoid alcohol
Alcohol in a small amount facilitates sleep, while in a large amount it disturbs it causing awakenings, a good tactic is therefore to avoid it before bed.

7. Watch your diet before bed
Try to eat an evening meal that will help you sleep. Foods that contain sleep-promoting nutrients such as tryptophan, melatonin and magnesium contribute to a good night's sleep. Therefore, your dinner should include a combination of high-quality proteins and carbohydrates that will prepare the body for this phase of the day.

8. A relaxing bath beforehand can help
Many studies support that bathing on a regular basis helps reduce stress and improve sleep. Use salts and essential oils, fill the bathtub with warm water and enjoy your bath.

9. Valerian against insomnia
