The natural way to a good nights sleep -
1. Avoid any drinks that contain caffeine - tea, coffee, chocolate, cola - for several hours before you go to bed.
2. Have a mug of warm milk, or a cup of chamomile tea before you go to bed.
3. Don't go to bed hungry as this can keep you awake but avoid a full stomach at bedtime as this can cause indigestion.
4. Have starchy foods such as pasta, potatoes and bread for your supper - they stimulate your body to produce hormones that make you feel sleepy.
5. Sleep in a well-ventilated room that is not too warm.
6. Take regular exercise - this physically tires you and also helps to reduce stress, which can prevent you sleeping properly.
7. A drop of lavender aromatherapy oil in your evening bath or on your pillow can help you sleep. Dried hops are also said to be beneficial.
