How to improve quality of sleep?

I too used to have this problem but since I started taking a walk regularly for about 30 minutes a day each morning, I sleep better! Maybe you need to find something that will help you become calm enough to sleep undisturbed. Try not to watch the TV or anything on computer, mobile etc. for at least an hour before your sleep time, it might help too!

I have been suffering from this for sometime and it becomes even more difficult when you have baby.

Try massaging your feet with mustard oil...it helps ..tried n tested :)

Also, it is important on which side/direction you place your head while sleeping..try sleeping towards east or west or south but never towards north.

Hope this helps :)

I don't know it is a myth or fact that while sleeping keep you head in east or west or south direction never towards north, but old age people say that if you sleep north you may have headache problem.

The best thing is not to go to bed immediately after dinner. Walk for some time or just sit. No serious reading. Some light music or light reading or eceb fantasizing something that pleases and refreshes your mind will give better sleep.

It is also advised to go to sleep at the same time every night to condition the body to fall asleep.

Ok I have never tried foot massaging with oil before going to bed..........I should definitely try it.. :)

Sleeping in the correct direction has got nothing to do with age..it is a well-known fact in Vaastu..try it out and you will know soon. The tip that I have shared here is purely out of personal experience and not lifted from any site :)

I think heavy dinner also disrupts sleep. It is also advisable to do light dinner and at least 2 to 3 hours before going to bed that will ensure good digestion.

Correct, heavy dinner makes us feel uneasy and hence delays sleep..whereas with babies it is exactly opposite, a full tummy ensures that a baby falls asleep quickly.

Morning exercise removes all stress and prepares mind to re energise and brings in good sleep. :whistle: :whistle:

This is a well-known fact that exercise exerts us and makes us tired and this induces good sleep. Another way to reduce stress is to listen to yog nidra...eventually people sleep..though that is not meant for inducing sleep.

A Good mental condition only can bring you good sleep.
If you are not mentally satisfied then it is difficult to get good sleep.
Still wake up early and try to either go for jogging or else go to your roof top and move their for half an hour.
Eat good and balanced food.
Before you go to sleep eat one hour before.
Drink a lot of water during day.
DO not watch television before you go to sleep and avoid mobile phones.

True. A healthy lifestyle and stress management can definitely improve sleeping habits.

Another thing is to definitely avoid sleep in the afternoons .................maximum of half an hour or so may be.

Yes, a 15 minute power nap is good in afternoon but not for a longer duration.

Also, we should avoid beverages like coffee or tea 2-3 hours before retiring to bed. It definitely disrupts sleep and delays falling asleep.

The bedroom wall colors should also be in subtle soft colors like blue or pastel colors. Also too much of clutter and decor in bedroom can disrupt sleep. Bedroom designs should be kept simple and cosy. It is also advisable to avoid watching too much of television in bedrooms.

Totally agree with you about the color part. Personally i feel that a television is best suited in the living room.

I never chase sleep. It's the other way round.At exactly 10 pm, my eyelids close sending me into a deep sleep. And at 4 am, I open my eyes without an alarm. Courtesy "Pranayama". Just with a small investment of 10 minutes everyday for Yoga, one can reap all the benefits of a blissful sleep. This is my personal experience.

You are blessed and of course nobody can deny the goodness of yoga. :)
