In our daily life, we all know that there will be nights where all of us have a hard time falling asleep and even staying up all night, which results in being tired the next day and being unproductive. I have experienced this before and I have to say I was so disappointed in myself for not getting a good night of sleep- I stayed up all night to watch Parks and Recreation (which is an amazing show), then I actually banged my head into a pole because I was sleep walking on the side of the street to the bus station to college. So I decided to do some research on how I could get a better night of sleep and I wanted to share these tips with you.

There are 4 ways that I found very efficient to get a good night of sleep.

1. Get A Sleeping Mask.

This will prevent your eyes opening to check your phone or watch TV. It will keep your eyes shut until morning when you have to wake up. This allows your body to rest while you are off in dreamland.

2. Keep Your Smart Phone 200 Inches (5 Meters) Away From You.

This will help your eyes by not letting artificial light from your device screen getting into your biological alarm clock. This means no more Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Netflix, and YouTube.

3. Hot Showers Are Actually Your Enemy When It Comes To Sleep.

We all know that taking a warm or hot shower will help us go to sleep, right? Nope, that is totally wrong. Taking a warm shower actually makes your blood flow faster, which makes you more hype than normal. Kinda like a kid who goes crazy at night, destroying their parents sleep.

4. Put Your Cell Phone Away One Hour Before Bed.

During that hour, entertain yourself by doing something else that's productive, such as doing your homework, cleaning your room and maybe even the dreadful activity of them all, READING A BOOK!!!

My final advice for anyone who’s ready to get a better night of sleep, try all these together, and I promise this will improve your sleep and your social life.
