When you are finding it hard to sleep Here are 13 things to try if you find it rather hard to sleep at night.

1. Have a relaxing bath just before you want to go to bed.

2. Change your bed linens, so you fall into fresh sheets. (This is especially effective after a bath!)

3. Meditation, meditation, meditation!

4. If you don't fall asleep instantly, don't be hard on yourself. (This makes it much worse!) Simply acknowledge that you're feeling a little restless and relax.

5. Walk around a little bit if you're feeling restless..

6. Establish a regular "going to bed" routine: mine includes having my teddy bear close to me.

7. Read a short passage from something inspiring and uplifting to relax you every night.

8. If you had a stressful day,massage ur wrists and neck before bed.

9. Try not to eat too close to going to bed. You'll feel that you have to stay up later just to let your food digest.

10. Drinking too much just before bed can also unsettle you.

11. Try not to have any big or potentially stressful conversations before going to bed. I'm still learning with this one!

12. Make sure the temperature of your bedroom is just right, not too hot or too cold. Adjust duvets or sheets as necessary.

13. Make sure any red lights from TVs or phones are covered up. Better still, switch them off altogether except you like sleeping with the lights on.

I hope these tips help you in some way. Sweet dreams.
