5 Tips For Good Night's Sleep
In a life that mainly revolves around work and pushing ourselves to do more, sleep is the first thing that gets reduced. We believe in hustling through and putting our sleep at the backseat.
What’s worse is that when we do try to sleep, we often experience restlessness. The kind we wake up feeling tired after.
But it’s time to change that and feel relaxed after we wake up.
These 5 proven and tested ways can help you have that good night’s sleep you have been craving for:
-
Say No To Clocks
Owing to our fast-paced lives we are so attuned to looking at time, all the time. This makes sleeping a chore, as we are constantly worrying about how much time we have to sleep.
But to change that we need to stop looking at the clock, or perhaps remove them from places that are at an eye’s view in our bedrooms.
-
More Exposure To Bright Light
Daylight or bright lights throughout the day make our brain believe that it’s time to stay up. So, more light throughout the day will help send signals at night that it’s time to sleep when there is less exposure to light.
-
Caffeine Cut-OFF Time
Unfortunately, for caffeine lovers this is bad news. But cutting off caffeine at least 6 hours prior to your bedtime will help you sleep better.
Caffeine stops your body from naturally relaxing when consumed later in the day.
-
Food For Sleep
A healthy, balanced diet not only helps make your life better or help you lose weight, it also improves your sleep time.
So, consuming foods like eggs and cheese will help your sleep quality and duration. The key is to eat foods that impact tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin levels in your body.
-
Choose The Right Bedding
For a better sleep, we also need to make sure that we are sleeping on the best bed sheets. And for that it’s time to purchase organic cotton sheets.
Organic cotton sheets will give you a naturally soft and better sleeping experience as they are incredibly breathable and suited for all seasons.
