With these tricks, you’ll fall asleep effortlessly

Do you have trouble falling asleep on a regular basis? No matter how often you toss and turn, you just can’t manage to drift off? Very annoying, because a bad night’s sleep has consequences for the next day and can even damage your overall health. The internet is full of tips to fall asleep more quickly, one even crazier than the other. We’ve got four somewhat crazy tips for you that really work!

With these tricks, we want to bet you’ll fall asleep before you know it!

1. Sleeping position

It’s important for both your rest and your body to lie in a good position. The best sleeping position is on your back, with your whole body in one straight line. A pillow that’s too thick or too thin will cause neck issues. If you really do prefer to lie on your side or on your belly, you should make sure that your mattress and pillow are suitable for that position. Your spine can become unbalanced or you’ll wake up with an aching neck or shoulder.

2. Bare buttocks

It might sound a little strange, but apparently, you sleep better when you’re not wearing underwear. You’ll feel freer and there’s a clear difference between day and night: during the day you wear underwear; at night you’re going commando. You can wear pyjama pants without underwear or sleep completely naked if you’re comfortable with that. The feeling of relief and freedom will help you fall asleep more easily.

3. Glass of water

A lot of people avoid drinking water before they go to sleep because they’re afraid they’ll have to get out of bed to pee in the middle of the night. Yet you can really benefit from drinking a glass of water before bed, as well as one just after you’ve woken up. You dehydrate quite a bit during the night, which causes your brain to shrink. Because of that, you wake up feeling more sleepy. By drinking a glass of water before bed you’ll prevent dehydration. That way, blood and oxygen will continue going up to your brain, which helps you to sleep better and wake up more refreshed.

4. A tidy room

Even if you think you’re not bothered by the clutter and mess in your bedroom, a messy environment can still have an influence on your mind. You feel a little more stressed and chaotic, which will cause you to not fall asleep as easily. So, make sure you sleep in a calm and tidy place.
