If you can’t sleep? Skip the sleeping pill and TALK to your partner. You can even talk to a close friend on the phone. UCLA research found married couples reached the deepest restorative stages of sleep – and woke up better rested – when they took 5-minutes to talk before bed. Because when something’s bugging us, we can toss and turn all night. But talking helps ease our worries. Plus, discussing our feelings promotes bonding and boosts our mood. And it makes sense that if we go to bed happy, we’re more likely to wake up refreshed, compared to when we go to bed feeling bummed.

Skip the sleeping pills, and take a walk instead! The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says over-the-counter sleep aids can make you feel even MORE tired because they contain antihistamines, which can trigger daytime drowsiness. But the Journal of Sleep Research found insomniacs who got 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on most days fell asleep faster and slept longer than those who didn’t exercise. Because exercise helps regulate your internal clock, leaving you feeling drowsy at bedtime, and reduces the stress and anxiety that can keep you awake.

If you’re one of the millions of people popping a sleeping pill – save your money and start exercising. People who exercise four days a week, for an hour at a time, fall asleep faster and wake up less during the night – adding an average of 48 more minutes of sleep to their bedtime each night.
