How to fall asleep the fastest

As people's pace of life becomes faster and faster, our work takes up a lot of our time. Therefore, how to quickly fall asleep and let the body rest quickly is a problem that bothers everyone. If the body cannot enter a sleep state quickly, then after a short period of time, you may have to get up early to go to work, and the body is not in its best condition at this time. So, what are some ways to help us fall asleep quickly?

1. Turn your bedroom into a sleep paradise. First, your bedroom must be quiet, dark and dim, because a dark environment promotes the pineal gland to produce melatonin, which is the hormone that controls the day and night cycle (that is, your 24-hour biological clock). Use heavy curtains (or something else) to block out outside light sources, and use a fan or white noise to mask annoying sounds. Cool temperatures help you fall asleep, so keep your thermostat adjusted. Of course, opening windows or using fans is good for indoor air circulation. If the indoor air is too dry, you can also use a humidifier.

2. Follow your nature. It will be easier for you to transition into sleep at night because your body knows it's time. Do anything to prepare yourself mentally for sleep. (Read a few pages, take 5 to 10 minutes to take care of your personal hygiene, or meditate for a while?) It’s also important to go to bed and get up at the same time every day—even on weekends.

3. Make sure your bed is only used for sleeping and sex. Avoid working, paying bills, or watching TV in bed. If you want to associate sleeping only with your bed, then what you need to do in bed is to sleep soundly, not toss and turn all night long.

4. Tame your stomach. Being too full or too hungry can interfere with sleep. Don't eat a large meal too close to bedtime, or you'll be starving and unable to sleep. On the other hand, if your stomach is still full when you lie down, stomach acid will back up into the esophagus. If you're really hungry, eating a small snack rich in carbohydrates can trigger the release of serotonin in the brain, which helps you relax. Try whole-wheat crackers or a bowl of cereal. Pair it with milk or a small serving of turkey, which are rich in amino acids and also promote sleep.
