Three Tips to Help You Fall Asleep Faster

Getting a good night’s sleep is an important factor in determining your mood and productivity for the following day. You probably know that you shouldn’t consume caffeine or use electronics before bedtime, but even if you follow those rules, it can sometimes still be hard to fall asleep as quickly as you would like. If you’re one of those people, consider these three tips that may help you fall asleep a little faster:

• Sleep with a weighted blanket – A weighted blanket will put soothing pressure on your body and help your nervous system to relax, which in turn can lead to deep, restful sleep.
• Eliminate lights and clocks – Even the smallest amount of light can interfere with your sleep because it can stimulate the brain. Turn off all the lights in your room, and if there are still some lights seeping in from the outside, consider wearing an eye mask. It is also a good idea to keep any clocks out of sight as seeing the time tick by can lead to anxiety, which will then make it more difficult for your brain to relax and fall asleep.
• Try aromatherapy – Aromatherapy can produce a soothing and calming effect on your body. Find a scent that you like and let it fill your bedroom as you drift off to sleep.
