Any problems related to sleeping can be treated appropriately after understanding its severity and type. While a chronic condition would require suitable medication based on the consultation with a doctor, an acute condition can be improved upon on your own by making certain changes in your lifestyle. So, here are a few changes that you can include or tweak in your daily routine that will help you to have a normal sleep and stay healthy.

Limit your intake of mood altering beverages: Sugary foods, caffeine, nicotine, etc., need to be avoided as it can have a mood elevating or stimulating effect. Consumption of alcohol can make you feel sleepier. Hence, all these beverages need to be avoided that can alter the way you sleep.

Involve yourself in physical activities: Physical activities can include stress and anxiety relieving exercises along with yoga, abdominal breathing, and meditation.

Follow a relaxing bedtime diet: Consume less water and carbohydrates with a gap of at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Incorporate more leafy vegetables and fish which eases the digestion process at night when there is less physical activity.
