Many teenagers have trouble sleeping. This is a big problem, because if teens don’t get the right amount of sleep, about 8-10 hours, problems can occur, some of them even in your later life. Here are a some ways for you to sleep better.

 

Get exposed to more bright light during the day

The bright light helps your body to figure out when you should sleep and stay awake.

 

Don’t have many naps in the day

As much as you might want a nice long nap after school, you shouldn’t. Having a long nap might confuse your body on what time it is, so you might not sleep well, while short naps are more beneficial.

 

Be consistent with your sleep

If you sleep and wake up at about the same time, you should sleep better. In fact, you might automatically wake up at the time you need to wake upl.

 

Have an appropriate temperature in your room

Set the weather in the room to a comfortable temperature for you. Most people like their room in 70 degrees fahrenheit.

 

Take a nice bath or shower

You’ll sleep better if you take a nice hot shower about 90 minutes before you go to sleep. If you don’t want to wash your whole body, you can soak your feet in warm water instead.

 

Exercise often

It is good to exercise a lot, but if you do it right before you sleep, you may have problems sleeping.

 

Don’t drink anything before you sleep

Don’t drink anything 1-2 hours before bed. It would be better to drink something a little early in the evening.

Go to the bathroom before bed

Going to the bathroom before bed will ensure that you don’t wake up in the middle of the night.
