No matter what you do for a living, nobody likes to go through the day feeling exhausted. It can also be tough feeling like you can fall asleep, but are unable to sleep steadily through the night. Thankfully, there are no shortage of tips and tricks that you can implement in your own day to make sleeping an easier process. This can include cutting out certain things in your life (like that caffeine at 2am…oops) as well as making sure that you are actively doing things to help make sleep less of a place of frustration.

The more you start to recognize the habits that go into you feeling well-rested, the better you can repeat them and create a really nice sleep pattern that can pay dividends in all areas of your life. Make sure that if you are sleeping and it is not going well, you take a deep breath and try and focus on different areas that you know may help calm your mind and allow you to get the sleep you need.

Everyone’s body is different, and everyone may find different things that work for them. However, for all the individuals that are up and are unable to sleep (such as myself), here are 10 ways that you can help get a better sleep starting tonight!

One of the best ways to start improving your sleep at night can be making sure you are getting enough magnesium. While it is not often thought of as a sleep aid, it has been described as one of the most powerful relaxation minerals. Magnesium helps de-stress you and also make any parts of you that may feel stiff, more relaxed. Nothing can impact your night’s sleep like feeling cramps, so if you can be relaxed and feel less stiff you are really talking about a win-win! Magnesium can be found in a lot of foods that we consume every day, such as garlic, parsley, beans and almonds.
