What to do to fall asleep easily?

Sleeping well is as important to the body as eating a healthy diet or exercising. The importance of sleep is that it allows the organs to balance, recover and prepare for the next day. In addition, it performs other processes such as cell regeneration, prevention of diseases and production of different hormones

The short-term effects of a bad sleep are reversible. However, if the patient does not change their bad habits to rest it can take them months to recover. They become even more likely to suffer from heart diseases and / or strokes

If you can not fall asleep easily, follow these tips: prepare your environment before going to sleep. You must have a calm and relaxed atmosphere with dim light. Avoid alcohol, nicotine and coffee at night. When you get home, do some stretching, take a warm shower and eat light
