There are a lot of people around the world who complain about not being able to get a good sleep. But getting a good night sleep is an important key for especially students. Because it improves learning capacity of our brains. If you are one of them, sit back, relax and start reading this guide. Here we go!

Firstly, you should know that we have a body clock. That means actually we don’t need alarming clock or a cock which makes us get up on the mornings. Body clock can set itself up by observing your sleeping and getting up times. When your getting up time come, this clock start alarming in our brains and we get up. But if you don’t have a stabilized schedule, body clock can’t do its job. For this reason set a bedtime schedule for yourself. For example, go to bed at the same time every night. Be regular. The most important mistake we do is oversleeping to make up sleeping after a poor night’s sleep. At the night whose morning you oversleep on, you will be sleepy later, therefore, you will get up late on the next morning. Doing this resets your body clock.  Get up at the same time every day especially on that morning.

Secondly, light help you set your body clock. After getting up, go out to get some light. Or turn on all lights in the room. Walk around for a minutes. This get your blood circulating faster to carry more oxygen to your brain to help you be ready for day. Water also help you be ready. If you have enough time –when you set up body clock, you will have- take a shower. But hot water makes your muscles loose and be you sleepy again.

Thirdly, when you sleep less, keep physical activity of your body during the day. When you are inactive, your blood will slow and carry less oxygen to brain, which causes you feel tired and sleepy. In order to avoid that, you can do strenuous exercises as swimming, jogging, squash at in late afternoon . These ensure blood circulating permanency. After a tiring day, take a bath and sleep like a top till morning.

Although you do this exercises all day, if you feel sleepy, taking a nap can seem a making up way for lost sleep. But this is another mistake people do. It doesn’t make up last night sleep, steals some part of this night sleep. At night, when you go your bed, you feel vigilant and can sleep at the time when you can sleep at last night. Whenever you feel sleepy at daytime, just walk around or do something which have your brain worked and been alert.

Finally, foods or drinks which we eat have effect on our sleeps, too. Schedule your dinner time at least four hours before your going to bed time. Because digestive system should finish its job when you are ready to sleep. After late afternoon, avoid caffeine and tyrosine-rich foods which cause wakefulness and hyperactivity. Drinking a little alcohol may help you sleep. But it can result with disturbed and shallow sleep. Instead of alcohol, a glass of warm milk will be of help.

As mentioned above, being regular about sleeping schedule, setting up body clock, doing exercises, avoiding oversleep and taking a nap and paying attention what and when to eat are ways to get a good sleep. I hope it will be benefical for you. Sleep well!
