Sleep Cures from Mother Nature
Cover Your Clock
One common mistake is keeping the alarm clock next to the bed, says Dr. Ash. "Then you wake up at night and check the time. Seeing that it's 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. only heightens your anxiety about not sleeping." She also cautions about the glow from the dial. "Even that little bit of light can signal your brain that it's time to get up." Instead, turn the clock to the wall, drape a towel over it, hide it under the bed, or find one without a lighted dial or glow-in-the-dark numbers.
