Ever wake up an hour before your alarm, only to lie there wide awake? Some seize the chance for extra rest, while others anxiously watch the clock, making sleep impossible.
These expert-backed strategies will help you drift off again:
1. Resist checking the clock upon waking—not knowing the time reduces pressure and lets your body relax naturally.
2. One hour is a full eighth of your nightly sleep. Reframe it as valuable rest time: unwind without forcing sleep.
3. Settle into a comfortable position, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Even if sleep doesn't come, you're still recharging.
Ready to reclaim that hour before your alarm?
