Finding it hard to turn off your brain at the end of the day so you can get enough quality shut-eye? Sleep is an essential part of your physical and mental health. When you don’t get enough of it, you may be willing to try almost anything to ease you into slumber.
There are many things that can mess with your sleep. Stress and anxiety are two common culprits. Anything from an uncomfortable sleep environment to a change in your normal routine can make it challenging to get a good night’s sleep. While an occasional night of poor sleep won’t do much harm, chronic insomnia increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety and depression, as well as other health conditions.
As important as it is to sleep well, there are sleep remedies people turn to that may not be the best choices. Some may not work and others may potentially cause harm. Here are a few things you may want to skip when you’re trying to sleep better.
