Introduction: According to foreign medical experts, milk contains tryptophan, which promotes sleep. Drinking a glass of warm milk with honey one hour before bed can help you fall asleep. Honey, on the other hand, helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels throughout the night, thus preventing early morning awakenings.
Soak your feet in hot water.
Feet are the part of the body farthest from the heart and do not easily receive oxygen and blood. Soaking your feet in warm water before bed is very beneficial for promoting blood circulation and accelerating metabolism. If you can develop the habit of washing and massaging the soles of your feet and toes with warm water (40°C - 50°C) before going to sleep every day, it can promote the circulation of qi and blood, and relax muscles and tendons. For the elderly, it also has the effect of preventing illness and strengthening the body.

Take a calm 15-minute walk.
A calm 15-minute walk before bed will cause blood to flow downward and circulate to the body's surface, not only speeding up the onset of sleep but also allowing the skin to be nourished after you fall asleep.
Open the window for ventilation.
Keep the air in your bedroom fresh. On windy or cold days, you can open the window for a while and then close it before going to sleep. Maintaining the room temperature between 18°C and 20°C helps you sleep soundly. Note: Do not cover your head with the blanket while sleeping.
A good mood before bed.
A good mood before bed can help you fall asleep more quickly and improve sleep quality. Methods to maintain a good mood vary from person to person; you can listen to your favorite songs, recall happy past events, etc. The most important thing is not to think about any bothersome matters.
