Hello my lovelies! Unfortunately I still don’t have any internet at my house. Luckily I’m at my boyfriend’s parents’ house (at 2.44am, funnily enough!). Hope to be back soon!

How To Survive Insomnia Fabulously

Most people suffer from some form of sleeping problem at some point in their lives, ranging from that irritating ‘can’t-get-to-sleep’ feeling to fully blown insomnia. It’s a condition that can have massive effects on your day-to-day life, and few of them are positive. So how can you cope more easily?

♥ Try having a routine that makes you feel like it is bedtime. A hot bath filled with bubbles, a glass of milky drink and doing some stretches are some common ideas, but these won’t work for everyone.

♥ Make your bedroom a wonderful place to sleep. Soothing colours, fabrics that feel comforting, delicate scents and good thick curtains can all help.

♥ Turn off that computer! It’s a cliche but true. Also turn off the TV for about an hour before you go to bed.

♥ Try herbal remedies. Not the thing for everyone but a lot of people have great success with them.

♥ If you can’t sleep, try using the time to do something important. This will reduce feelings of frustration and guilt when you are unable to do what you had planned during the day due to tiredness.

♥ Have a variety of healthy snacks on hand so that a night spent awake doesn’t also have devastating effects on your waistline.

♥ Eye creams can be good to help rid yourself of those dark circles. Also, learn to be awesome with concealer. Just because you can’t sleep doesn’t mean you can’t be awesome!

So what do you think would work to make coping with insomnia easier?
