7 Tips On How To Get Back To Sleep

For whatever reason, you've woken up in the middle of the night.
Ok. Just go back to sleep then! But how? The more you think about it, the more awake you become.

Here are some tips to help you get back to sleep.
1. Counting sheep. Well, actually, they don't have to be sheep. Just slowly count upwards, taking a long deep breath with each number. Or reverse the practice. Start at, say, 300 and count downwards. Again, taking a deep breath with each number.

2. Put on a relaxing music track at low volume. Sometimes we wake up because some "odd" noise has triggered our body's defense mechanism. A relaxing music track may help your mind to quiet itself and allow you to go back to sleep.

3. Read a book for a while. Accept the fact that you've been woken up and that you may need to trick your mind before it will let you go back to sleep again.

4. Make yourself a glass of hot milk. Don't make a caffeine based drink such as tea or coffee though. In fact, if you're finding yourself regularly waking in the middle of the night, cut down on the caffeine and alcohol during the day as well. If you drink, try cutting out drinking for a few nights and noticing the difference.

5. Investigate natural sleeping pills. Don't go for a prescription pill unless you have no choice. And make sure that you read up on whichever pill you choose before taking it.

6. Yawn! And again. Yawn deep. You'll be surprised at how well this can make you feel drowsy.

7. Get a purpose-made relaxation MP3 and put it on in the background. At the very least you'll let your body relax and it's highly likely you'll find yourself drifting off to sleep.
