Losing Sleep? All-Natural Ways to Fall Asleep and Get High-Quality Sleep

For more info

If you're having trouble sleeping or falling asleep, here are my top 10 all-natural ways to fall asleep:

1. Go to bed in a cold, dark room. (Temperature between 60-73˚) The cold will help decrease your core body temperature, in turn initiating sleepiness.

2. Go to bed at the same time every night, wake up at the same time. Your body will get used to the cycle and it will become easier to get good sleep. Try to get 8 hours per night.

3. Don't eat foods high in carbohydrates before bed. Focus on nuts, seeds, veggies and meat for dinner.

4. No caffeine after 3 pm (it has a 12-hour lasting effect)

5. Exercise daily in the morning. Exercising at night can lead to alertness.

6. Don't watch TV or work on the computer in your bed. The bright screen can also lead to alertness. I personally like to read a fiction book or spiritual growth book. Nonfiction books tend to ignite new ideas and can lead to alertness.

7. If you're having racing thoughts or are worried about the next day, write it all out on paper.

8. Eat the right foods throughout the day. These foods will aid in falling asleep: Grassfed beef, Flaxseeds, Chia Seeds, Wild-Caught Salmon, Raw Dairy.

9. Supplement with Calcium Magnesium within 1 hour of going to bed.

10. Supplement with Omega-3 Fish oil throughout the day.
