Are you waking up feeling like you didn\u2019t get any sleep at all? While people often focus on the quality of their sleep over the quantity, it\u2019s a combination of the two that really matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Finding ways to extend the amount of sleep you\u2019re getting every night, especially if you have trouble falling or staying asleep, can work wonders for how rested and refreshed your sleep can be. Here are seven of our favorite tips and tricks on how to stay asleep longer.<\/p><h2><strong>7 Tips To Stay Asleep Longer<\/strong><\/h2><p>Once you know what\u2019s causing you to struggle with your sleep, you can focus on using that information to improve your sleep using some of these top tips. However, none of these tips will work in isolation \u2014 fixing an unsatisfactory sleep routine requires a well-rounded approach.\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>1. Implement Good Sleep Hygiene<\/strong><\/h3><p>Although good sleep hygiene isn\u2019t a \u201ccure\u201d for sleep issues, it can help set the stage for better sleep \u2014 especially when it\u2019s combined with <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/learn\/how-does-cbt-i-work\/\">effective sleep psychology tools<\/a>. But what exactly is sleep hygiene?<\/p><p>Sleep hygiene is a catch-all term for the habits that involve your sleep schedule and routine. These can all impact the duration and quality of your sleep, so it\u2019s important to start here when trying to pinpoint the cause of your sleep troubles.<\/p><p>Sleep hygiene can include factors like:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">How close to dinner you\u2019re working out<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">How comfortable your sleep environment is<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">How consistent your sleep schedule is<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">How dark your room is<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">The temperature you keep your bedroom at<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Blue light exposure from electronic devices<\/li><\/ul><p>When you can improve your sleep habits, you can also find ways to get a good night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>2. Try Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids<\/strong><\/h3><p>For people with occasional trouble sleeping \u2014 especially due to temporary factors like stress, jet lag, and muscle soreness after a heavy workout \u2014 over-the-counter sleep aids and supplements may provide some support.<\/p><p>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/melatonin-what-you-need-to-know\">melatonin<\/a>, for example. Under normal circumstances, the brain produces the hormone melatonin in response to darkness. However, when your bedtime routine is disrupted, it can impact how much of that sleep hormone is released into the body.\u00a0<\/p><p>Ultimately, this imbalance can lead to issues with your circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle). Giving your body the melatonin it needs to trigger more restful sleep can help you get over the hump and reset your internal clock.<\/p><p>However, sleep aids alone can\u2019t \u201cfix\u201d your sleep problems, and many of them shouldn\u2019t be used long-term without the supervision of a medical professional.<\/p><h3><strong>3. Manage Your Stress<\/strong><\/h3><p>Stress doesn\u2019t just impact us when we\u2019re awake and conscious \u2014 it can also significantly affect the length and quality of our sleep. One of the primary hormones behind stress\u2019s ability to influence the body is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7830980\/\">cortisol<\/a>, which is also part of the body\u2019s fight or flight system.\u00a0<\/p><p>When more cortisol is in your body, there\u2019s also a higher likelihood that you\u2019ll experience side effects like high blood pressure, weight gain, and sleep problems. Managing any stress in your life is key for not just getting longer sleep, but also staying physically and mentally healthy.\u00a0<\/p><p>Everyone handles stress differently, so there isn\u2019t a specific formula to follow to get it under control. One thing you can do is take an honest look at the factors causing stress in your life and then make a plan to address them. For many people, practicing even a few minutes of mindfulness meditation daily can be enough to reduce stress.<\/p><h3><strong>4. Get Plenty of Exercise<\/strong><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5385214\/\">Sleep and physical activity<\/a> go hand-in-hand, but they are also two factors that Americans tend to put low on their priority lists. People who incorporate regular exercise into their routine are more likely to get better sleep if they exercise at the right time of day.\u00a0<\/p><p>However, you may want to avoid working out in the 90 minutes before you go to bed. This can help keep the adrenaline and endorphins from interacting with your ability to fall asleep.<\/p><h3><strong>5. Eat a Balanced Diet<\/strong><\/h3><p>You might know that eating a well-balanced diet can help you maintain a healthy weight, but what you put in your body can also play a role in your sleep schedule. Focus on getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, a moderate amount of lean meat (like chicken or turkey) or plant-based proteins, and a variety of whole grains.\u00a0<\/p><p>Hidden sources of caffeine, like chocolate or tea, can also work against you when you\u2019re trying to fall asleep. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and stop drinking anything with caffeine after noon.<\/p><h3><strong>6. Consider Your Sleep Psychology<\/strong><\/h3><p>Psychology isn\u2019t just something that happens in an office somewhere, and it\u2019s not just focused on mental health. In fact, there are many different areas of psychology.<\/p><p>Sleep psychology is one branch that exclusively studies the factors that impact the quality and quantity of sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy therapists who focus on insomnia (also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/learn\/cbti-coach\/\">CBT-I coaches<\/a>) are an excellent resource for people looking to evaluate their sleep psychology and improve their health and well-being.\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>7. Seek Medical Advice<\/strong><\/h3><p>Although psychology does play a large part in your sleep patterns, physical issues can also impact your ability to get restorative, healthy sleep. Many of those physical issues (like heartburn or reflux and restless leg syndrome) are best when diagnosed and managed by a health professional.\u00a0<\/p><p>Other issues, like sleep apnea, require the assistance of a sleep professional and potentially even a prescription for a CPAP machine. If you\u2019ve made changes to improve your sleep and haven\u2019t seen any benefit, or if you suspect you\u2019re dealing with a medical issue, it\u2019s best to schedule yourself an appointment with your primary healthcare provider.\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>What Causes Trouble Sleeping?<\/strong><\/h2><p>There are many reasons you could be having trouble sleeping, including physical and mental causes.\u00a0<\/p><p>These can include:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Racing thoughts<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Medical conditions<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Sleep disorders<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Poor sleep hygiene<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Sleeping too much during the day<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Excessive caffeine intake<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Psychological factors<\/li><\/ul><p>Part of identifying your triggers starts by evaluating the part of your sleep cycle that is being impacted \u2014 are you struggling with falling asleep at night, or do you fall asleep easily but have frequent awakenings in the middle of the night? Once you have a starting point, you and your sleep professional can follow the thread to figure out the root cause.<\/p><h2><strong>How Much Sleep Should You Get?<\/strong><\/h2><p>There\u2019s no \u201cmagic\u201d amount of sleep to aim for \u2014 everyone needs different amounts to feel well-rested when they wake up. For example, children require more sleep than adults because their bodies are still growing and developing.\u00a0<\/p><p>For many adults, seven hours is enough sleep, although that number changes depending on your circumstances. However, people who are healing from an illness or who are dealing with chronic physical or mental health conditions often require more sleep.<\/p><h2><strong>Are Sleep Duration and Sleep Quality the Same Thing?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Sleep involves two fundamental components \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34202755\/\">duration and quality<\/a>. Sleep duration is another way to say the length of the sleep you\u2019re getting, while sleep quality is how \u201cgood\u201d that sleep is.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s possible to get a full seven hours of sleep and not wake up feeling well-rested if your sleep is of poor quality. The opposite is also true \u2014 six hours of high-quality sleep will feel more restful than seven hours of lower-quality sleep.<\/p><h2><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2><p>If you\u2019re trying to stay asleep for longer, the first thing to do is evaluate your sleep and pinpoint the cause of your sleep troubles. Once you\u2019ve figured out the root cause, you can move on to using techniques like implementing sleep hygiene practices and getting exercise to address your sleep.\u00a0<\/p><p>However, it\u2019s important to note that often, there are psychological factors that can affect your sleep. In these cases, it\u2019s important to see a sleep specialist who can help you get to the bottom of those issues.<\/p><p>Take our <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/quiz\">free sleep quiz<\/a> to
