Sleep is essential for your body to function optimally and to maintain excellent health and wellness throughout your life. It is vital for the processes of both your brain and your body. Check out these simple tips for a proper night’s sleep…
Natural Sleep-Wake Cycle
Try to go to sleep and get up at the same time every day – even on weekends.
Natural Light
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Your brain secretes more melatonin when it’s dark, so you feels sleepy and less melatonin when it’s bright, making you more alert. Avoid bright screens from your smartphone, iPad, television, etc. within 1-2 hours before your bedtime.
Be Active During the Day
Regular exercising makes you sleep better at night; feel less sleepy during the day; improves the symptoms of insomnia and sleep apnea; increases the amount of time you spend in the deep, restorative stages of sleep. Exercise speeds up metabolism, elevates body temperature, and stimulates hormones such as cortisol. Do not exercise too close to bedtime.
Relax Your Mind
By learning how to manage your time, handle stress in a productive way, and maintain a calm, positive outlook, you’ll be able to sleep better at night. Look at life from a more positive perspective.
Watch Your Food & Drink
Limit you intake of caffeine and nicotine (smoking) to avoid disrupting your sleep. Avoid having alcohol, huge meals and too many fluids especially nearer to your bedtime.
Conducive Sleeping Environment
Restrict your room for relaxing and sleeping only. Keep your room dark, cool and quiet to signal to your brain that it’s time to get a well restful sleep.
