How You Can Properly Relax Without Getting Tired

If you have a hard time relaxing, you are not alone. If you are always on the go, always fretting or worried, or just always feel the need to fill every moment of the day, you likely don’t know how. If you try to relax and fall asleep, you simply don’t know how to relax. Let’s be clear, sleeping is not relaxing.

What Does It Mean?

Relaxing after a long day or busy week is just as important as a healthy diet or exercise. But if you slip off to sleep while watching television or sitting out in the back garden or even having a nice calming conversation, you’re not relaxing. You are too tired and need to get a full night’s sleep. Relaxing is that all important step between work and sleep.

What Do I Do?

Sleep. That’s the short answer. You need to sleep when you are supposed to sleep. Not at your desk at work, not in front of the television with potato chips crumbs on your blouse, but at a designated time. In your bed. For the correct amount of time.

Routine

Order in the House! A routine or schedule will help you regulate your life. Give yourself a bedtime and try very hard to stick to it. Once you are used to going to bed at the same time, everything else will march along in order. You will find yourself getting things done when they need to be and within that schedule will be everything else.

Relax

Now that you have your sleeping in order, you will see how much easier it is to have a proper relax. At the end of your day, maybe a nice warm bath, a leisurely stroll with your partner or walking the dog. Some light yoga or reading are all ways to bring you to relaxation and help you sleep better. Avoiding activities that may cause excitement, like a party, vigorous exercise or binging the last season of your favourite television program.

Sleep

Here’s some great tips for getting your proper sleep;

• Keeping lights low and noise to a minimum
• Have your room temperature at a comfortable level
• If you wake up or need to use the bathroom, go right back to bed.
• Try to avoid looking at your phone or other devices, and don’t turn on any more lights than needed.
• Don’t eat, because this will keep you awake longer and may upset your stomach.

These are are basic sleeping tips, which all add to a great night’s sleep.

It’s amazing how our sleep drives the rest of our lives. Aiming for the perfect sleep may take some effort on your part, but it’s well worth it for your health and well being. Having proper sleep, rest and relaxation are the groundwork we all need to keep our busy lives in balance. Therefore enables us to become energised, focused, able to think, be productive at work and play.
