Are you waking up exhausted? Maybe you've slept 10-12 hours and yet you still don't feel recharged? If this is the case then these 3 tips can help you get a more restful and energy recharging sleep.

Nighttime Routine

The number one thing you should do immediately is to develop a nighttime routine. Just as most newborn babies require the development of a nighttime routine by the parents so they know its time for bed, you may need the same thing. For instance with a newborn the nighttime routine may start with a bath, then getting dressed into pajamas. Next would come a nighttime bottle with the lights dim and any distractions like tv or radio removed. Finally you might take the new born to their room where you would read them a bedtime story and then put them in bed.

You can benefit from setting a deliberate and consistent nighttime "I'm getting ready for bed" routine. One cause for your lack of energy is your body is not getting deep and relaxing sleep. 7 out of 10 times, people start seeing an immediate boost in energy as soon as they take the time to create a nighttime routine. As part of your nighttime routine, remove distractions such as TV or internet or things that may stimulate your mind and body.

Sugar and Caffeine

The second thing I'd recommend that pertains to your sleep is to limit the amount of sugar and caffeine you take in during the day. There are many studies that show that as part of the "Starbucks generation" we are running down our bodies at an alarming rate. Caffeine and sugar are sources of energy, I don't think anyone can argue that. The problem is they provide very short lived and inefficient types of energy. You see our cortisol levels rise and drop all throughout the day. Its important that they rise and fall.

When we use caffeine, sugar, or other stimulants to raise our energy levels, we also are artificially stimulating our cortisol levels. If our cortisol levels remain high for too long it can lead to the symptoms of chronic stress such as fatigue, hyperglycemia, brain fog, etc. Continued still and you may experience a condition known as adrenal fatigue. Not only can habitually high cortisol levels affect your energy levels for the worse, but they have been linked to weight gain especially around the mid section. Furthermore, caffeine has been shown to remain in the body for 12 to 14 hours. Which make it difficult for you to get the relaxed and quality hours of rest and recover.

Clear The Clutter

The final tip for getting a recharging sleep is something most people have never really considered. Clean up your bedroom. This may seem like a weird way to ensure you get a good night's rest but just try it. You'll feel positive energy emitting from yourself after cleaning your room. If you've ever had a ton of dishes or a messy desk that you've cleaned you may remember how much nicer it looked when you were done and how refreshing it was to see it organized. That refreshing feeling was a real thing. It was a form of emotional stress relief.

We gain energy from our surroundings. If we are constantly in a cluttered and disorganized environment, we will feel a sense of clutter and disorganization in our lives. Especially the bedroom. Have you ever noticed how the things that are closest to you in life are the things that affect you the most? Well, the bedroom is considered to be the part of the home that is closest to a person's heart. This is where you hide all your dirty little secrets, and where you can be your innermost private self. If the bedroom is cluttered it has a real emotional impact on you whether you are aware of it or not.

Furthermore, psychologists say that the thoughts you have before drifting off to bed at night and the ones you have when you first wake up are the most important of the day. By clearing up the clutter in your bedroom and life, you will surely have better, more positive, and happier thoughts getting in and out of bed. This tip is a difficult one for people to grasp, but if you just try it and then pay close attention to your energy levels, you will notice a surge of energy coming from such a small choir. Clean your bedroom and then keep it clean. It is worth it.

These are the top 3 tips to not only a better nights sleep, but to a more rejuvenating and energy recharging sleep. Follow these simple steps and you will see a noticeable influx of positive personal energy fill your life. Good luck!
