I've always dreaded even the idea of allowing myself to lay there and let myself fall asleep, and once I finally decided to, it didn't feel comfortable. I made excuses as to why I should be up longer like, me just getting home from work and wanting to have time to myself or tell myself that I'll stay up for maybe 10 more minutes and up going to bed at 1 in the morning. ]]> 2018-05-15 01:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/260685030 20lopezj https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/260688453 The goal lasted 3 days until I realized that this self discipline wasn't working. I learned from this experience, that I should've tried a little harder, like putting my phone away, and avoided things like netflix as well. I also could've payed more attention to the time and stopped making excuses for why I could've been socializing rather than sleeping.]]> 2018-05-15 02:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/260688453 20lopezj https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/260690375 1. Keep a routine, go to bed and wake up at the same time. Even on the weekends. It helps your body clock and be able to do it on it's own.
2. Avoid naps, more specifically in the evenings. It helps with sleeping better at night. 
3. Avoid screens, within an hour before bed. The blue light restrains the production of melatonin, which is what controls your sleep cycle. Reducing melatonin makes it harder to fall and stay asleep.
4. Don't eat big meals before bed because it'll cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. Try to avoid big meals at least 2 to 3 hours before you sleep. ]]> 2018-05-15 02:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/260690375 20lopezj https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/261063851  - https://sleep.org/articles/ways-technology-affects-sleep/

If you're still having trouble sleeping after trying all of these, try talking to a doctor. ]]> 2018-05-16 02:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/20lopezj/iiktz2hr6ak5/wish/261067367
