Things to do if you cannot sleep....!

1. Unplug
How much time do you spend plugged into the computer, tv, or your phone? If you are being honest you probably tuned into at least one of the devices all day until bedtime. If this is you, it’s no surprise you cannot sleep because of stress. Try unplugging from the computer, phone and television at least an hour before bedtime.

2. Complete List
What can you do during that hour of no electronics before bedtime? How about going through a list of everything you have accomplished for that day. Looking at what you have done is far less stressful than thinking about all the things you still need to tackle.

3. Worry Time
If you cannot sleep because of stress you are probably lying in bed worrying about everything under the sun. Help yourself out by planning a time to worry and sort through problems earlier in the day. Maybe you can do this during your drive home from work or during an afternoon run.

4. Naps
Sometimes a quick 30 minute nap during the day makes all the difference. Naps help relives stress. You wake up feeling renewed. If you can, try taking a quick nap after lunch.

5. Don’t Panic
If you can’t sleep, then avoid sitting in bed count down all the time to sleep you are losing. If you cannot sleep because of stress use those waking hours to do something you enjoy. Read a book, write in a journal or listen to some calming music. The trick is to focus on an enjoyable activity instead of the loss of sleep. Chances are you will be drifting off in no time.
