Sleep well K.William Seeto,MD
1. Fixed wake up time within half an hour 7-7:30 or best wake-up time for you.
2. Go to bed at night only when you are sleepy.
3. Limit the lunch break to less than 20 minutes during the day and close the eyes. Sleeping too much at noon will impart your sleep at night.
4. In the afternoon, look for 20 minutes with pen and paper, write 5 things you want to worry about and how to deal with them. Urgent, immediately done, no hurry, write down to do the day after tomorrow, can not be changed, write no way, think over it. When you think of these things at night, you say to yourself: I have plans for the day, but I don't think about it now. You will use paper and pen to solve it tomorrow. This should be done daily until there are no problems with insomnia.
5. No tea, coffee, etc. after 5pm
6. When you can’t sleep , say to yourself: you just need to lie down and have a rest, you don’t have to sleep. You don't have to worry too much about not being able to sleep. Worries will not help your sleep.
7. When you can’t sleep at night, if you have to think about something, It is better to think about some very beautiful places and think about where you are willing to go. Put those troublesome thoughts on a balloon and send him (her). Don't bring troublesome things and people to bed.
8. Doing exercise in the evening is good but do not exercise within two hours of sleeping.
9. Don't look at those nervous TV novels and don’t watch too many mobile phones two hours before going to bed because flashes affect sleep
10. Finally, remember that everyone needs about 7 hours of sleep every day. This 7 hours is counted within 24 hours. If you sleep in the daytime it is impossible to sleep for 7 hours at night
