What Should I Do If I Can’t Sleep?

Our body needs to sleep 8-9 hours every night in order for our mind to function well in the daytime. If we are lacking in sleep it can cause lack of concentration and energy to do our daily tasks. And sometimes, lack of sleep can lead into some serious conditions.There are many reasons why we can't sleep. If this will persist, it will affect our physical health. So don't be just at ease, seek doctor's advice immediately.

Having a good night's sleep can benefit your health. It is important to us to have good sleep habits (sometimes it is also referred to sleep hygiene.)

One effective way to minimize sleep problems is by keeping a sleeping diary when:

You go to bed, sleep, wake up, and get out of bed, take naps, and exercise.

The Following Are Tips For Better Sleeping:

• Pray and thank God about how good he is to you every day
• Limit alcohol intake.
• Consume less caffeinated beverages.
• A relaxing, dark and quiet room helps you have a comfortable night.

A good sleeping habit plays an important role in our daily lives. Nighttime is the best time for us to relax our consciousness so that we can gain strength for the next day.  Don't forget to pray every night because God didn't forget to wake us up in the morning.
