Changes To Make In Life As Daylight Saving Time Ends

There are many practices which can help you achieve sound sleep like making sure you go to bed at the same time every day. This trains your brain to fall asleep at a certain time and make sure you get up at the same time. The duration of the sleep should be at least 7 to 8 hours for an adult. Ramar recommends that one should put away all their electronic gadgets 30 mins prior to their sleeping schedule. At the start of this it would be hard to fall asleep and even after 20 mins you would be lying awake in bed and many people fall back to using electronics which should be avoided. Ramar suggests that meditating during this time will help a person to a great extent.

Another important to thing for sound sleep is to have a controlled diet before sleeping. Avoid having a large meal or getting a coffee before your bed time. Caffeine makes the brain faster and makes you lose sleep as well. Similarly, alcohol should be avoided before bed time.
