 How to Sleep Fast in 5 Minutes

How long does it take you to fall asleep every night? If you’re not sleeping within ten minutes of lying down, you’re not alone – 75% of adults have problems falling asleep fast enough every night. Here are several different tips that can help you fall asleep faster in as little as five minutes, enabling you to get the rest you need and deserve, so that you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day!

1) Use logic

Some people just don’t sleep as well at night as they should. With everything from mental stress to physical pain, there are many things that cause a person to lose sleep each night. Since you likely want more than 5 minutes of sleep, consider other methods of sleeping better. Some techniques include: Changing your sleeping habits, solving your health issues and figuring out your sleeping pattern. Once you have figured these issues out, try a power nap or meditate for an hour before you go back home for a good night's rest. Everyone is different; however, with time you will find what works best for you!

2) Get dark and cold

Turn off all lights, use your computer monitor's lowest brightness setting and cover it with a sleep mask if necessary. Then turn down your thermostat or get out of bed if you're too hot. Getting dark and cold is key—you want your body temperature to drop while you fall asleep. Even better: try sleeping without covers.

3) Use earplugs

Sleep is important for your overall health, productivity, and well-being. We spend a lot of time sleeping—an average of eight hours a night—so it’s important to maximize that time. One thing that can help you get more restful sleep is using earplugs at night. Earplugs help block out unwanted noises while still allowing you to hear necessary sounds like your alarm or crying baby. This can make it easier for you to fall asleep and then stay asleep longer throughout the night without waking up because of outside noise.

4) Turn your phone on silent

Sleeping is one of our favorite things, so let’s not put any obstacles between us and some rest. It’s best to put your phone on silent or do whatever you need to do so it doesn’t interrupt your sleep cycle. If you must check it, set a timer for just five minutes. This will help you relax knowing that you won’t be tempted by your smartphone once that alarm goes off. Plus, by setting a timer, if you start feeling too cozy under those covers, maybe give yourself another five minutes with Twitter or Instagram. You can also avoid sleeping problems by using essential oils like lavender and peppermint; they both have calming effects that help people fall asleep faster!

5) Set a time, then count back from 10 by 3’s

There are many ways to help you sleep faster, but there’s one tried-and-true method that works every time: Set a specific bedtime and wake-up time. Count back from 10 by 3’s (10...7...4...1) before you go to sleep and also when you wake up. The first number helps you count down your bedtime, while counting down again as soon as you wake up will help get you out of bed more quickly. Plus, waking up at an identical time each day keeps your circadian rhythm on track so that your body can start gearing itself toward sleep at a predictable hour.
