According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of adults worldwide do not get the recommended seven or more hours of sleep per night. Suppose you're not getting an adequate amount of sleep each night. In that case, you are at risk for developing specific chronic diseases and conditions, including Type II diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression. Sleep is essential for your overall health and well-being.

Here are six tips you can incorporate into your daily and nightly routine to help ensure you awake feeling rested and energized.

1. Don't Force Yourself In Waking Up

You can produce a lot of either negative things or positive things in sleep. This is getting too easy, just sleeping on the southern side. So waking up to an alarm bell with an unexpected start is not the best way to do your life.

How many of you will find that one day morning when you get out without any reason, you're just feeling ugly for no reason? If it is appearing even at least two, three intervals a year?

Then it would help if you did certain things before you go to bed. It's very, very important. Because carelessly, you need to understand this, you can produce a lot of either negative things or positive things in sleep, either pleasantness or disturbance. You can set it very effectively for a night of uninterrupted sleep. But there are so many interruptions, and it doesn't happen very efficiently. But if you tend to go to bed in a certain way and wake up in the morning, really nasty for only no reason. That means you are producing things in the nighttime very efficiently.

This is not just about psychological disturbances. It can cause significant physiological problems over some time. It would help if you eliminated these things from your life.

2. Eat 3–4 hours Before going to bed

Avoid eating extended meals, drinking caffeine, or liquor at least two hours before going to bed. If you are sensitive to caffeine or have trouble sleeping, it's best not to consume any caffeine after 3 p.m…

It's best if you're eating meat and other kinds of meals, you eat at least three to four hours before you go to bed, the digestion is over. Before going to bed, take a certain amount of water and go to bed. You will see that it gets taken care of just like this.

3. Take a shower Before going to bed

One simplistic thing can be just a bath, always to shower before you go to bed. It'll make a lot of difference. In Cold conditions, maybe cold showers are difficult. So you go for lukewarm showers. Don't go for hot showers at night; go for lukewarm showers.

It makes you alert. So you will think that you can't sleep. It doesn't matter. You'll sleep 15, 20 minutes, or an hour later, but you will sleep splendidly.

Because it will take away several things, when you shower, it is not just the dust on the skin that you are taking away. Have you noticed if you are very anxious and worried, whatever, only a shower you came out, it feels like almost a burden has been taken away from you? So it's not just about washing the skin.

Entire things will happen when water slides over your body. The shower is a powerful habit because over 70 per cent of your body is water. If you run water over it, a specific purification happens, which is beyond cleaning the skin.

4. Light an Organic Lamp

One more thing you want to do, you light an organic oil lamp, cotton weck, and some oil such as regular cooking oil, linseed oil, brown rice oil or sesame oil, or any oil. Any organic oil with the cotton weck, burn one little lamp somewhere in the room where you sleep. You will see these things will completely disappear.

5. Remind Yourself

If you live for about 60 years, on average of most human beings are eating anywhere between 1100 to 1400 tons of food.

So that means even what you think is my body is not this; it is changing every day. Fresh data is passing, and old data are going away. So 1400 tons! You don't have to bear that much load presently. Obviously, what you have is a body right now is just a short amount of food and soil. So what do you think is mine also, is not it? It is only all the time changing.

Later before you go to bed, spend at least 12, 15 minutes reminding yourself you're neither this body nor this mind. Just lie down and remind yourself, this body is not you, it is mine right now for use, but it's not me. If you're not able to do it, link it to your breath. "Inhaling - I'm not the body, Exhaling - I'm not even the mind." Just lie down for 12 minutes and do it. Till the last moment till you fall asleep, is something you must notice.

6. Reduce blue light exposure

Put down the phone and stop watching TV at least one hour before you head to bed. Blue light has been shown to harm our circadian beat by tricking our brain into thinking it is still daytime. If you need to use your phone, install a mobile app, or wear glasses that can block blue light.

7. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

Cooler temperatures around 17 degrees are best for sleeping. Be sure your bedroom is kept dim and quiet to allow for a relaxing and calming atmosphere conducive to a good night's sleep.

8. Be consistent with your sleep cycle

Go to bed and wake up at the same rhythm each day, even on weekends. This will help you to maintain long term sleep condition.

9. Exercise Daily

Going for a walk during the day or training at the gym can help you fall sleeping more easily at night. However, be sure not to train too close to bedtime, as this can cause you to have trouble falling asleep.

10. Avoid daytime naps

Try to limit any daytime naps too short power naps. Long or irregular napping can negatively affect your sleep quality at night. If you feel you are still waking up fatigued and dizzy each morning, consult your physician. It's possible you could have a sleep dysfunction, and your physician can help guide you to the appropriate expert and treatment options.
