Luckily for the sleep-deprived among us, it also means an extra hour of sleep \u2013 and another 60 blessed minutes of shut-eye can do wonders for those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/27-ways-get-rid-dark-circles-and-bags-under-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dark circles<\/a>. If you want to make the most of this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daylight_saving_time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strange historical event<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, try our favorite sleeping tips and get your snooze on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Power Down<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For many of us, Instagram is the last thing we see at night and the first thing we see when we wake up. But when you\u2019re trying to turn off your brain and fall asleep, the last thing you need is a bright light in your eyes and unlimited information at your fingertips. So, an hour before bed, surgically remove your smartphone from your palm, turn off the TV, and snuggle up with a nice paperback.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Get Some Exercise<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re having trouble sleeping, it may simply be because your body isn\u2019t tired (can we get an amen from our fellow desk jobbers?!) Regular exercise is important for overall health and wellness, but also helps improve sleep. Whether you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/weight-lifting-newbies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lift weights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or simply go for a morning walk, consistency is key.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Create a Bedtime Routine<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember when you were a kid and slept like an <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">actual <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">baby? Every night, you\u2019d take a nice warm bath, put on some footie PJs, and have someone read you a bedtime story before hitting the hay. Try to get your adult self into a similar routine that will signal to your body it\u2019s time for sleep. Make yourself a cup of herbal tea, listen to calming music, or take a few minutes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/how-meditate-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">meditate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; whatever helps you relax!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Eat Right<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Downing half a dozen buffalo wings 10 minutes before bedtime is not exactly conducive to a peaceful night\u2019s sleep \u2013 hello, spicy food nightmares. Try to stick to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/best-diet-get-rid-acne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> a well-balanced diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and eat dinner about two hours before bedtime to reduce indigestion and other sleep-disrupting issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. The Bed is for Sleeping<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8230;and sex. But mostly sleeping. You don\u2019t want your brain getting confused about what it\u2019s supposed to be doing here, so computers, TVs, half-eaten pizzas, and other non-mattress related shenanigans should be relegated to more appropriate places in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Use a Sleep Tracker<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We use apps to track everything from our periods to our daily steps &#8211; why not sleep? A sleep tracking app like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.azumio.com\/s\/sleeptime\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">this one<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can offer helpful insights into your sleep patterns, and will wake you up gradually during your lightest phase of sleep so getting out of bed is just that much easier<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn\u2019t need more sleep?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1315],"tags":[137,43,467],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Sleep Better: Top 6 Sleeping Tips to Try Tonight<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Trouble sleeping?
