Mostly for myself, I've been having troubles with it for quite some time. I figured if I studied it some, took some notes, got it in my blog It'd help me a lot.



1 - Get a schedule

your body thrives on running on a routine; erratic sleeping sessions will interfere with your internal "biological clock". For some people, and depending on work and routine, a very short rest in the afternoon (the Spanish call it the siesta) could help alleviate drowsiness some people experience during the day. But make sure not to oversleep.


2 - Be mindful of what you have eaten or drunk before bed

* Stomach should not be too full, but not too empty.
* Digestion doesn't work well while asleep.
* Do not eat heavy foods a few hours before sleep (But not go to bed on empty stomach either).
* Caffeine sits in the body for 8 hours, so no tea or coffe in the evening.
* Drink 2l or more of water a day. Hydrated body is awesome.
* Alcohol may make you feel sleepy, but will greatly reduce sleep quality.
* Great foods in the evening, before bed: milk, turkey, yogurt, ice cream, peanuts. Since Tryptophan helps the body produce serotonin in order to relax.


3 - Keep the room dark

* Avoid any kind of light, pull curtains across the blinds, LED clocks, computer lights so forth. Also really hard to go back to sleep if exposed to bright light.


4 - Change your sleeping position

* When on your back, have a pillow under ur feets.
* When on your side, have a pillow in between your legs.
* Avoid sleeping on your stomach, it's shit.


5 - Exercise

Your body wants to recover, if you've not exerted yourself there isn't much to recover from, and it might distrupt your sleep.
* regular exercise can make your sleep deeper and more restful.
* Don't exercise right before sleep.


6 - Weird circumstances

* If outer circumstances, problems in life etc. are on your mind. Start meditating.


Random tips

* Keep the computer off 1 hour before bed
* Chamomile tea supposedly doesn't count when it comes to tea in the evening
* Don't sleep too long, shoot for around 8 hours. Too little or too long will make you grouchy and tired the next day
* Avoid having on music or TV

Great stuff! I personally had a horrific sleeping cycle. Sometimes I would go to bed at 4 am, next day at 7am, a few days later at 12pm, pretty crazy. However, when I started volunteering at 9 am every day for about a month at a food bank, this was when I started to be able to reset my bio clock back to normal.

First few days was very tough, since I was sleepy/droggy. But after about a week, I was able to go to bed at around midnight and wake up at 7 am consistently. I was moving boxes of foods/cans around so I got good exercise, and I also didn't take any naps.

Nice.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds that Darkness is always there first, waiting for it.

i feel much better after sleeping 10-12 hours in a night. 8 hours is ok, less than that is terrible!

I think I read that more sleep is good for you if you're doing a lot of physical stuff. Train a lot, work absurd amounts so forth.

Didn't know about milk before bed... oO But yeah, that pretty much sums it up. You can also eat "vegetarian" on evening to help the sleep and at the same time having a good diet.
It's never good to have our stomach working hard before sleeping, even worse when you're sleeping (Unless you're eating raclette after a very long snowboard session ! )

Thanks for the reminder !

Edit : oh and "* Avoid sleeping on your stomach, it's shit." >> What ? For real ? Can't sleep otherwise
Can sleep on side but the problem is my elbows. Can't position them right before hurting my belly... So it never last long.
I really can't sleep on my back unless i'm little or more drunk...

This im not sure about at all. I slept with dark blinds / dark room my whole life and i've become an extremely sensitive sleeper, any form or noise, light, or presense will instantly wake me up.
However, I have friends who have always slept in unfavorable conditions - and they become adapt at sleeping in all sorts of conditions and getting rest when otherwise the environment would keep them awake.
