Stop blaming the water: here’s the real reason you wake up at 2 a.m.

How to sleep better until morning?

Rest assured: there’s no need to completely overhaul your routine. A few simple steps can be enough:

  • Hydrate regularly throughout the day, then gradually reduce your intake in the evening.
  • Elevate your legs for about ten minutes before going to bed to promote relaxation.
  • Air out your room in the evening and choose lightweight bedding.
  • Adopt the side position with a pillow for natural body alignment.
  • Calm your mind with slow breathing or a few pages of a relaxing book.
  • And just before going to sleep, make one last quiet trip to the bathroom: this is sometimes enough to avoid waking up too early.

Because better understanding your nights is the first step to sleeping better.
