Sleep apnea sleep tips

These tips can help people sleep better:  

Stick to a simple bedtime routine.

Enjoy a soothing (warm) bath in the evening.

Brush your body with a loofah or long-handled brush in the bath.

Do yoga and stretching exercises to relax.

Meditation, yoga, hypnotism and audio recordings are other alternative treatment for sleep.

Meditate to tame intrusive thoughts and tension.

Concentrate on pleasurable things.

Sleep in a darkened room. Try an eye mask if necessary.

Keep the room as quiet as possible (or use a white-noise machine).

Make sure the room temperature is a comfortable.

Avoid stimulating foods that contain caffeine, including teas, colas, and chocolate.

Another good sleep apnea sleep tip is not to take sleeping pills. Taking a drug to fall asleep just lets you get away with a bad lifestyle. You must train your body to fall asleep naturally.

Don't eat a heavy meal just before bed. Your body will work on the food sitting in your stomach, when it should be slowing down and resting.

Take up regular exercise. This is something you should be doing anyway, but a good work out helps tire the body and promotes good sleep, but make sure you finish exercising at least 3 hours before turning in.

Treatments such as herbal and homeopathic remedies not only help to improve symptoms but also improve the individual’s overall physical, mental and emotional well-being. These homeopathic remedies can be researched on the internet.

Make sure you get treatment for allergies and colds or sinus problems.

Gargle with salt water so as to shrink your tonsils. Try sleeping on your side or sitting up rather than sleeping on your back. Don't smoke or expose yourself to other irritants (such as dust or perfumes).

Use an air humidifier by your bedside. Place bricks under the head of your bed to raise it.

One sleep apnea sleep tip you may not have thought of is to try eliminating mucus-producing foods (such as dairy and bananas) for two weeks. Then begin eating them again and see if you notice any difference.

Reduce caffeine intake: Throw out the first cup of tea from a tea bag and use the second, which will have less caffeine. For the times when you enjoy a hot drink most, drink decaffeinated coffee and tea. Don't forget to count the caffeine in soft drinks, headache and other medications, chocolates, chocolate desserts, and chocolate-flavoured liqueurs.

Contoured memory foam pillows are another natural cure for insomnia, snoring and sleep apnea. These pillows provide support through the night while holding the patient's head in a position that discourages snoring etc. By keeping the airway in a straight line, the patient reduces the risk of airway collapse.

Use a nasal dilator like “breathe right” strips or a saline nasal spray.

Lose excess weight.
