1.Limit your alcohol intake and eliminate caffeine
Most people need to avoid consuming any caffeine after around noon to 3 pm to get a good night’s sleep. Avoid drinking any alcohol for three hours at last before going to bed and also to help prevent you from waking up throughout the night.
- Be active during the daytime
Any kind of exercise helps to improve the quality and ease of your sleep. From practicing yoga or going for a walk to more strenuous workouts like spinning and running.

If you have an uncomfortable mattress, it will affect the quality of your sleep. If you wake up more tired and aching, consider getting a new Titan mattress. Toxic chemicals are released by many mattresses, especially when they are new, so consider getting an ecological mattress that is made out of latex, wool, or cotto
