Tips 1【Do not watch the clock】
If you are having sleep issues, do not stare at the clock or check your phone regularly.
I tend to have this habit to see how many hours I still have to sleep. This can stress me out and make me harder to fall asleep.
Keep your bedroom clock away from your sight so you won't be tempted to watch the time tick by.

Tips 2【Turn off your WiFi】
Most of us tend to connect our devices to Wifi 24/7. However, you should turn off your Wifi during the night.
You don't need to be connected 24/7. Making yourself unavailable for all those emails and messages can make your brain have a good rest.

Tips 3【Drink water】
Drink a glass of warm water before sleep helps to keep your body hydrated throughout the night. If you feel the thirst, it means you are already dehydrated.
This habit can level out your blood level and avoid heart attack.

Tips 4【Do not eat heavy food】
Heavy foods like instant noodles or your favourite mamak maggi goreng can disrupt your sleep.
If you are really hungry, eat a light snack only before bed. Try having a glass of warm milk next time as it helps to induce sleep.

Tips 5【Go to bed at the same time】
This may sound easy, but it is hard to make it consistent. Train both your body and mind to shut down at the same time can let your brain knows that it is preparing for sleep.
Predictability and consistency are boring yet calm.
