\n Are you getting tired of tossing around for a long time before you finally get to sleep?\n <\/p>\n

\n It’s no wonder \u2013
\n
\n sleep deprivation
\n <\/a>
\n can affect your health, love life, job performance, memory\u2026the list goes on.\n <\/p>\n

\n So how can you get to sleep sooner without the tossing?\n <\/p>\n

\n Here are 7 tips for falling asleep faster:
\n <\/h3>\n

\n
\n 1. White Noise
\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n Setting up a source of white noise can make a big difference. It can be a machine that has various white noise settings, such as falling rain or water running, or it can be as simple as a small fan running near your bed.\n <\/p>\n

\n Some people choose to turn a radio on and listen to static as they fall asleep. Whatever it takes, get some white noise going to help you fall asleep faster.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n 2. Make Lists
\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n Nothing seems to keep you awake more than a racing mind. Take a moment before falling asleep to write down the next day’s plans and to-do list, and if you need to, note down brief steps you plan to take to solve immediate problems.\n <\/p>\n

\n If it’s the long term you’re worried about, make a list of long-term goals and the steps necessary to accomplish them.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n 3. Put Your Body to Sleep
\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n Used by some parents to help their babies and small children fall asleep, you can try this on yourself. Start with your toes, and \u201ctell them goodnight.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n You don’t have to say it, of course, but simply wiggle your toes a moment, and then tell them to relax. Do the same for your feet, legs, and so forth all the way up to your neck. Gradually relax each muscle group and body part. It will soon become second nature.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n 4. Cut the Caffeine
\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n Ideally, try not to drink or eat caffeine-containing foods and beverages past 3pm, sources suggest. The caffeine needs time to process out of your system.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n 5. Is it Hot?
\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n Your body naturally cools down when going to sleep, and experts maintain that cooling the room enhances this natural cool-down process. Turn the thermostat to a cooler setting, and use fans if you need to during summer (they may help with the white noise!).\n <\/p>\n
