15. Write something before bedtime

As we’ve previously mentioned, many Americans have trouble falling asleep due to overthinking. And since overthinking often leads to negative thoughts, it’s best to keep it at bay.

In some cases, doctors recommend writing down whatever made you feel loved and appreciated during that day. You can even write something that’s about to happen and the way it makes you feel.

Writing down about gratitude and happiness helps improve the quality of your sleep. Some experts also suggest creating a to-do list right before bedtime in order to reduce stress and increase sleep time.

Your morning cups of Joe has endless health benefits, however, if you have difficulty sleeping, it’s best to limit the intake or replace it with something else.

Because caffeine is mostly used to combat tiredness and boost alertness, people with insomnia or trouble falling asleep should avoid caffeine-based beverages such as coffee, energy drinks, and sodas. And chocolate as well.
