I also had sleep problems. I normally had trouble going to sleep and would wake up tired, because I only had 5-6 hours of sleep, and this is compounded from day to day to day. So I went to a sleep specialist and I found out I was doing some things wrong. Here is what he said:
- Do not use your bed for anything but sleeping. Do not read in it, do not watch TV in it. In fact, try to watch TV in a separate room. This will make your brain associate your bedroom with sleep.
- Avoid caffeine or ginger too late in the day. I personally cannot have ginger tea after noon o'clock or I will be up. Ginger is a stimulant.
- Chocolate may have small amounts of caffeine in it as it's natural to chocolate and thus not listed on the ingredients (I think).
- The lack of sleep could also be related to energies going on, or anxiety in your life.
- Dim the lights 1-2 hours before bedtime.
- Stop watching any TV or videos at least 1 hour before bedtime, on any device. Bright lights help keep a person awake. Bright lights can also help reduce or stop jet lag when travelling through different time zones.
