Anyway, I have been having trouble with tiredness and decided that I would do a little more looking into it. I found the Royal College of Psychiatrists page on tiredness and they have a lot of good information. Among their tips for combating tiredness is the following advice on how to improve your sleep:
________________________________________
1. Improve your sleep
- Go to bed and get up in the morning at the same time every day, no matter how you feel.
- Make sure your bedroom is comfortable: not too hot, not too cold, and not too noisy.
- Don't eat or drink a lot late at night. Try to have your evening meal early rather than late.
- Try to gradually reduce the time you spend 'napping' during the day.
- If you can't sleep, don't lie there worrying about it: get up, leave the bedroom and do something you find relaxing. When you feel tired enough, go back to bed.
- Pick a way to relax before going to bed - such as reading, listening to music or using a relaxation technique.
- Have a hot bath before bed. This should be as hot as you can bear and last a good twenty minutes.
- If something is troubling you, and there is nothing you can do about it there and then, try writing it down on a piece of paper. Tell yourself you will deal with it in the morning, and then go to bed.
If none of this works, go and see your doctor.
