1 – A walk in the open air before going to sleep.
2 – An air bath in the room with the window open while performing moderately strenous physical gymnastics.
3 – Hot bath

Dietary:
- a healthy and frugal diet, which is principally vegetarian.
- eliminate all nutritional products that act as a stimulant: meat, mature cheese (especially those containing phosphates) and eggs.
- avoid heavy meals before going to bed, and have a light snack at night, preferably fruit, at least two and a half hours before going to bed.
- completely eliminate all toxic stimulants, such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee as well as any other drinks that contain caffeine, and tea.

If I drink coffee so much in the morning will it still affect my sleeping habit? I long have this mild case of insomnia, it can get annoying at some point but most of the time I would just think that I sleep really late because of my body clock… I also thought that eating heavy during dinner will help me drift off to lala land but in true medical sense it is otherwise..
Thanks for the tips jonathan and thanks for helping out with my lola’s stroke… My family really appreciates it…
