Sleep is something that every person on the planet needs. It makes no difference who you are or what your social standing is in life. If you aren’t getting enough sleep each night, you won’t be very productive when you’re awake – or happy, for that matter!

If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, don’t worry because there are many practical steps you can take to address the problem and have a restful night’s sleep.

The solution you need will depend on the source of your insomnia. For some people, the issue might be due to their sleeping arrangements, while for others, it could be due to health reasons.

Take a look at these top five ways to help you fix your sleep problems once and for all:

1. Upgrade Your Mattress

According to the Better Sleep Council, people should generally replace their mattresses every seven years. That’s because a mattress can become worn over time and eventually provide poor-quality support to anyone sleeping on it.

The good news is that you’ll seldom need to replace the rest of your bed at the same time, helping you to keep your costs down. The mattress you need for your bed will depend on the type of bed frame you’ve got.

Thankfully, you can get mattresses for platform bed installations as well as ones for other bed frames, so you shouldn’t have any issues finding the right mattress for your needs.

2. Invest In Premium Pillows

Once you’ve got your mattress sorted out, you should next look at the comfort provided by your pillows as you lay your head down to sleep each night.

As you can imagine, pillows can get out of shape after a while and feel flat, resulting in neck and head pains at night and a feeling of lethargy during the day.

When shopping for new pillows, always opt for premium brands, as their pillows get constructed of high-quality materials.

3. Avoid Technology Before Bedtime

Did you know that looking at TV and computer screens, smartphones and tablets shortly before going to bed each night can impact your sleep quality? The reason is due to the blue lights emitted from screens.

Blue light can impact your body clock – the circadian rhythm – by blocking melatonin production. Melatonin is a hormone that controls the body’s natural sleep patterns.

4. Get Checked For Sleep Apnea

For some people, the reason why they can’t get a restful night’s sleep is that they have restricted airflow going into their lungs. A medical condition that can cause that problem is sleep apnea, and it affects around 30 million people in the United States alone.

If you suspect that you have sleep apnea, see your doctor and have them run checks on you to determine if that’s the case.

5. Sleep Alone

One final thing you can do to improve your sleep at night is to go to bed alone. You might find that sharing your bed with someone – or pets – can disturb your natural sleep patterns at night if they keep moving around.

Thanks for the ideas and your advice, they are great for me. I have been trying to get healthy sleep for a long time after taking the melatonin pills that I used for insomnia. Now I’m more concerned about sleeping space and other things that can affect it.
