Whether it’s due to a stressful day or your busy thoughts, falling asleep can be difficult for many people. In fact, 164 million Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week.
How to fall asleep faster
To fall asleep faster, experts often suggest designing a bedtime routine to help calm your mind and ready for your body for slumber. Some popular activities include meditating before bed or taking a luxurious warm bath. Another soothing activity you should consider is listening to a sleep podcast. Podcasts designed for sleep offer a variety of techniques to help you catch more Zzzs, from instrumental music and bedtime stories to guided meditation practices and natural sounds like rainfall and ocean waves.
