Top tips for getting a good night's sleep ?

If you've had a busy day at work try to unwind and do some mindfulness. Visualise yourself doing something you enjoy and focus on that for 10 minutes. This will help clear the day's events.

I drink caffeine free tea after about 4pm and it seems to work. I do have bouts of not being able to get to sleep, but I put that down to worrying about the children and grand daughter

If I feel I need a good nights sleep, I rub lavender oil into the soles of my feet. Works a treat for me.

I have a bedtime routine and I always read for half an hour before I turn my lamp off. No bright lights for last half hour.

Don't eat or drink too late at night. Having some wind down time before bed also helps.

CBD oil works well for me but if not, apparently Mango Kush is excellent.

Avoid 'blue light'- the type given off by electronic devices. Eat probotics and prebiotics as part of a balanced diet.
Like so much else, good sleep is moderated by the gut.

Counting gets me to sleep every time. Not counting sheep or anything else, just slow counting in my head.

I know that I spend far too much time watching TV and being on my phone - keeping the brain working hard - so my tip would be no phone after 6 pm - and no alcohol - and an eyemask and earplugs to dull your senses.

I don't drink any tea after 6pm and try not to look at phone after 8. I can go all through the night without going to the loo. I always wear bed socks and when I first started taking amlodopine for high BP a year ago I found I slept better initially.

Pukka Night Time tea seems to help. Someone suggested it a few weeks back on Gransnet. Tastes disgusting (to my mind) but does seem to help with sleep.

Mug of proper cocoa before bed.

Camomile tea during the evening certainly helps me to relax.
Sticking to winding down routines seems to help, too.
