Being in college only adds on stress to day to day life, and its really started to take a toll on my sleeping habits. If you want to have a successful day, you better make sure you get plenty of sleep! Then there is always the large group of people who no matter what, even when we want to sleep can not. I decided to do some research to see if there were any good non medical remedies to help people sleep better, and I actually found some really useful information.
Usually people say to not sleep before you go to bed, that it will either keep you awake or it will cause you to gain weight. However, here are some good choices to make that can actually help you get some sleep.
1. Non Fat Popcorn.
2. Oatmeal With Banana Slices.
3. Plain Yogurt With Mixed Nuts
4. Handful of Pretzels
5. Glass Of Wine
6. Red Bell Peppers
What most of these things all have in common is that they all have chemicals and ingredients in them that when reacted with your system create stress relievers and it makes it much easier to fall asleep.
Also be sure to work out on a regular basis. Not only will it help you sleep better, it promotes good health!
If you are like me and you don't always make the healthiest food choices, be sure and keep up with taking vitamins or other types of supplements. Some good ones to help you sleep related are calcium and magnesium.
If you like things that smell good get some lavender oil and put it on your pillows. You can even go to bath and body works and they have a whole collection or aroma therapy scents (candles, pillow sprays, lotions, etc) specifically designed to help you sleep.
