If you often have difficulty falling asleep at night, you probably feel frustrated and tired in the morning. Inadequate sleep can make it challenging to concentrate on your tasks throughout the day. Luckily, there are several steps you can take to improve your sleep, like installing blinds on your windows.

Why You Can’t Fall Asleep at Night

1. Bright Light

It’s easier to fall asleep when your room is dark, and excessive light pouring through your windows could be keeping you awake. Add a window treatment, like blinds or blackout curtains, in your bedroom to block light and help you sleep soundly.

2. Too Much Caffeine

Caffeine is a stimulant that’ll keep you awake, so you shouldn’t consume caffeinated beverages with your dinner or late at night. To help yourself rest easier, drink your last cup of coffee in the early afternoon.

3. Dusty Mattress

If your sheets haven’t been washed recently, they’ll accumulate dust and allergens. These allergens can keep you awake with excessive sneezing, so wash your bedding at least once a week. You can also clean and sanitize your mattress as particles can settle into its fibers.

4. Excessive Noise

Whether it’s due to traffic from outside or someone watching television in another room, too much noise can make it difficult to doze off. If you’re sensitive to sound, wear noise-canceling headphones or earplugs to bed. Earplugs come in several shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find a pair that comfortably fits you.
