These days, there is a constant rush in everyone’s life. People run day and night to strive for either their careers or their families. We all have a tight schedule in which we try to fit in our work, meetings, family time, friends, errands, and then personal entertainment and somewhere amongst them all what suffers the most is our sleeping habit or sleeping hours.
Most of the people these days complain about sleeplessness and how it affects their next day very badly. This constant insomnia is due to:
- lack of good habit of going to sleep at a determined time regularly
- tiredness of the whole day or
- the excitement of the next day.
Here are a few tips to help you deal with sleepless nights successfully:
