One thing that many people overlook when they are trying to overcome insomnia is making sure that they have the right environment for sleep. In these busy times it is all too easy for a range of items to start encroaching into the bedroom. In particular, work materials can all too easily find their way into your sleeping area, and if you find that your bedroom is becoming an extension of your office then it will make it all the more difficult to switch off and will impede your sleep. The first step then in how to get to sleep fast is to take a good look at your sleeping environment.
Take a look around your bedroom and see what you can see. If you your room is cluttered with work materials, various keep fit equipment, items related to hobbies, then you need to find somewhere else for these things. Your first rule for getting a good night's sleep is that your bedroom should be for sleep and sex only.
You should also think about how you can exclude as much light and noise as possible. This seems obvious, but the stimulus provided by noise prevents sleep and darkness is one of those signals that helps our brains decide that it is time for sleep. Simply putting up a thicker curtain is one way of reducing both of these and is clearly a relatively inexpensive solution.
Finally, it helps if your bedroom does not get too hot. Not all of us have air conditioning of course, but in the summer it may help to switch to thinner bed coverings and to make sure there is some degree of ventilation if necessary.
