Hello!
For me, getting enough sleep seems impossible. I fail at sleeping at night, which results in that I can't get up in the morning. As I have to travel two hours before I arrive at school, I need to get up at 5:40 am, which is really tiring if you can't fall asleep before 1:00 am. That's why I decided to look for some tips to become a better sleeper and to share them with you.

This is my cute dog sleeping. She loves sleeping, but she also loves being energetic and for being energetic, you need the have had enough sleep!
- Structure: Go to your bedroom to sleep at the same time everyday. You might not fall asleep immediately, because your body needs to get used to it, but after three weeks, you will sleep for sure. Also, get up at the same time everyday. It's really important your body will become used to it, because when you have structure, it will be so much more easy to fall asleep and get enough rest at night. A friend of mine told me a really good tip; an hour before you're going to sleep, go wash your face, brush your teeth and put on your pajamas (and eventually other things you need to do before you're going to sleep). When I tried this, I was more relaxed when I was going to sleep, which helped me falling asleep. Another important tip; short naps during daytime are forbidden!
- Silence: Make sure you're sleeping in a room without many noises. Every noise you can hear might wake you up and you don't want that! If you have noisy neighbors, or you're living close to a highway/train station/big city/etc, make sure to get some earplugs. Sleeping in a dark room is also really important. If it's too light in your room, your body will think it's morning so you will wake up.
- NO sports/caffeine/alcohol: Don't drink energy drinks, coffee or whatever that has caffeine in it before you're going to sleep. Just don't! Neither should you drink alcoholic drinks. You might feel relaxed because of the alcohol, but it will make you thirsty and you might become restless. If you want something to drink, it might be the best to drink some kind of herbal tea. Don't go sporting before you're going to sleep, because your body temperature will rise but it has to go down if you want to sleep.
- Mattress: Make sure the mattress you're sleeping on is comforteable for you! You won't get a good rest if your mattress isn't comforteable. If you prefer sleeping on hard mattresses, sleep on those because you it's better for you.
- NO Smartphones/internet: Get a little box and put in your iPhone, iPod, Android or anything that gives you access to the internet. You're not going to check your mail anymore, you're not going to play silly games, you're going to sleep! So get those things out of your room!
Hopefully these tips will help you to get enough sleep! I'm going to use them for sure.
