SLEEP

Fitness Tip

If it takes you more than a half-hour to fall asleep, or if you wake up several times during the night, you may suffer from insomnia.

Some causes of insomnia include depression, anxiety or pain. If you can find no such obvious cause, it could be you simply have developed bad sleep habits.

To rid yourself of bad sleep habits, experts suggest you establish a nightly ritual to let your body know it is the time to wind down for the day. A warm bath, some quiet time or meditation are some of the ways you can help yourself.

It is also a good idea to skip food and drinks close to bedtime, especially alcohol. Also, go to bed only when you feel ready to sleep. If you spend too much time in your bed, you can unintentionally train yourself to be awake in bed. Sleep experts call this an "automatic conditioning process".
