What you are
experiencing is a type of insomnia, but don’t worry – follow these simple tips

Fix a
routine

Wake up at

you have had poor sleep during the working days. However, you need to train
your body to wake at a consistent time.

alcohol and stimulants

Say no to
nicotine and caffeine in order to sleep better. The effect of caffeine and
alcohol lasts for several hours, so the chances of it affecting sleep are
significant.

regularly

immediately before bedtime can be a stimulant effect on the body and should be

before you plan to retire for the night.
