How can I fall back to sleep?
Waking up in middle of the night can be frustrating. Here are some tips to help you fall back to sleep.
- Keep the lights dim
- Switch off electronic devices
- Engage in a relaxing activity
1. Don’t allow yourself to get frustrated about sleep. If you are unable to fall back to sleep and find yourself becoming frustrated, sit up in bed or go to another room (dim light only) for 10-15 minutes. Spend time reading, listening to music or other activity before returning to bed.
2. If you are unable to sleep due to wandering or disturbing thoughts:
a. Say stop to thoughts
b. Divert your mind to other more pleasant feelings or images.
