· Avoid alcohol: - Avoid the intake of alcohol 4 to 6 hours prior to sleep. Even though alcohol has an effect to induce sleep in the beginning, this effect ultimately fades out as the alcohol level drops in the blood stream. After this effect, a stimulant in the body is produced, which actually causes the mind to wake up and become active.· Avoid caffeine: - Similar to alcohol, caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea and other sodas, keep you awake. Thus, avoid caffeine products 4 to 6 hours prior to sleep.
· Avoid a spicy and heavy dinner: - A heavy meal with spices and sugar pumps ample energy in the body to keep it active. Keep your dinner light to allow your body to rest.
· Exercise: - Exercising regularly, particularly in the morning can enhance the depth of sleep at night. It makes your body tired and hence you require more sleep to recover from your daily exercise. However, do not exercise just before going to sleep, as this will keep you active and decrease you ability to fall asleep.
