If you can’t completely change your sleep habits, try some of these simple tips:

– If you lie on your back, place a pillow under your knees to relieve pressure on your lower back.

If you lie on your side, place a pillow under your armpit to support your arm and another between your legs to keep your spine aligned.

– If you lie on your stomach, use a thin pillow or not.

2. Noise from surroundings

If you live in a big city, you’ll get used to different noises day and night. Your sister’s alarm, the neighborhood turns on the loudspeaker early in the morning … – all of these sounds can significantly affect the quality of your sleep.

Tip: Use earplugs while you sleep, but don’t forget that earplugs are made of foam so it has a very short shelf life. You should also clean them regularly.

If noise is generated from neighbors or from outside, families can build soundproofing walls for a more comfortable sleep.

Some of the other symptoms of apnea may be headaches, dry mouth, chest tightness, excessive drowsiness and mood swings.

Tip: If the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor may recommend that you use a device that provides good and constant airway pressure to keep your airway clear throughout sleep.

Sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night because it’s too cold or too hot, the problem will be your room temperature. As a rule, your body temperature needs to drop a bit to put you to sleep, but that doesn’t mean your room will have to be as cold as freezing.

You can also try taking a warm bath before bed. First, it will raise your body temperature and after you get out of the tub, your body will experience a slight drop in temperature, which will stimulate your drowsiness.

6. Drink alcohol

It is often known that alcohol with sedative effects can go to sleep quite easily, but it can also be a reason for sleepless nights. As your body metabolizes alcohol, the quality of your sleep can get worse, you may start to feel irritated and uncomfortable, even waking up in the middle of the night.

Advice: Avoid drinking alcohol at least one hour before bed. Instead, drink a cup of chamomile tea – it will help you sleep better.

Surfing the phone can really ruin the quality of your sleep. As some studies show, keeping your eyes exposed to blue light at night will prevent your body from producing the hormone melatonin (an hormone that plays an important role in regulating sleep).

The advice for you is: Turn off all electronics one or 2 hours before you go to bed. If you absolutely cannot do so, at least lower the brightness of your phone or tablet screen and keep the device about one to two feet from your face.
