6. Move around
No, we don’t mean to ask you to try to sleep while moving. Instead, this advice is pertinent to those who have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night and then have trouble going back to sleep. In such cases, instead of lying in bed and trying to force yourself to sleep, you will be much better off instead if you simply get out of bed and move about or do different things, which requires your focus. This is so that your brain isn’t fooled into thinking that your bed is a place for staying awake. Instead, your brain should believe that when you go to bed, that means it is time to sleep, and thus, your body will adapt accordingly.
