How to go to bed early ?

If you have problem going to sleep earlier than your normal sleep hour, what can you do ?





Here's how you could achieve your goal :

- Set alarm clock to wake up earlier than normal, eg. 2 hours earlier
- Do not nap during the day no matter how tired you are
- You should be tired enough that night to sleep earlier, don't worry about things that haven't been completed
- Repeat this until your biology clock is tuned to your ideal time to go to bed





If you still have problem, then try the following :

* Do exercise in the morning, or at least 6 hours before bed time
* Take a 3-minutes' warm bath 2-4 hours before going to bed
* Listen to music, read something that keep you relax





Or eat some light food that relaxes muscles, keep you calm or helps induce sleep :
# Banana
# Warm Milk
# Whole Wheat Bread
# Wheat Cereal
# Potato
# Almond
# Turkey


Do come back and share with me your progress :)

If you wake up at 7am every morning, can you work till 3am every morning too ?

Can't sleep? Have some cold turkey! That sounds funny and I am really suspicious if this works!

Turkey has serotonin, which helps to calm you calm, it's recommended to be taken in the evenning, not right at the minute of failing to fall asleep :)
