The following contribution is from another author.

Any medical practitioner here in Australia will tell you that it is essential for you to get a good night’s sleep not only for your physical health but for your mental health as well. We all carry around lots of stress every single day and this ongoing stress leads to anxiety. A number of Australians now suffer from depression due to the lifestyles that they lead and the fact is that they can’t get to sleep at night even though they are tired.

One of the first things that you could do to help you get to sleep at night is to invest your hard-earned money into a pitched roof Velux skylights and this will allow you to gaze up at the sky from your bedroom and this will help to calm your mind which will hopefully lead to falling asleep more quickly. This is just one of the ways to get to sleep faster and easier every night here in Australia and the following are some others.

  • Have a regular bedtime routine – There should be a certain time at night when you put down your smartphone, get off your computer and turn off the television. If you keep doing this at the same time every night then your body gets ready for sleep and so it is much easier to relax. Try going to bed at the same time every night and waking up the same time every morning as well. This needs to include your weekends as well, so it’s going to take some effort on your part.
  • Try some meditation – This can include anything that helps to make you relax and so you shouldn’t be using any electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime because these give out blue light and that stops you falling asleep. Maybe pick up your favourite book or listen to some music on your smartphone. There are a number of websites that can provide many different ways to fall asleep.
  • You need the right sleep environmentTry to make the room as dark as possible and cut out any sound from the outside. If you have an air conditioner then use it to find the optimal temperature that allows your body to cool down and to relax. Invest in some good quality curtains to keep the light outside where it belongs and having a fan running in the background creates some white noise.
  • Try not to force it – If you can’t get the sleep even though you are tired, start reading a book or listening to some relaxing music and only go back to your bed when you are feeling tired enough that you want to fall asleep. Sometimes you just need to rest your body and mind and then sleep comes naturally.

If you follow these four basic rules, there’s no reason to believe that you can’t get a good night’s sleep every night.
