Sleep is the natural phenomena of human life. At the end of a long day, you tend to fall asleep as soon as you reach out to your bed. This feels so easy and natural. Isn’t it?
For many people, it doesn’t. Here are some tips for better sleep tonight:
REDUCE YOUR STRESS:
Stress is the most common cause of sleeplessness. You can track your sleep record and find out that whenever you have excessive tension or fall into over thinking, you lose sleep. Even if you go to bed and close your eyes, your concerns are hard to forget, and the harder it is to get to sleep.
Eliminate the very root cause of your stress. Find a solution for your problem, and try to resolve your life tensions. Another great option? CBD gummies for sleep.
BE ACTIVE:
Mental, as well as physical activeness, plays a role in our sleep pattern. A person who is more active than anyone else tends to get more healthy sleep and healthier life overall. Include healthy food and regular exercise.
Sleep deprivation could be present in your life due to non- contentment, unhappiness and prolonged sadness. And these can only be eliminated through proper conditioning of your lifestyle. For example, a man who is more into physical activity tends to lose more sweat and therefore his body is much more balanced and fresh. Excessive junk food will be collected in the form of fat in your body which ultimately makes you slow and lethargic.
REDUCE ALCOHOL AND SMOKING:
These two things also interfere with your sleep pattern. The first stage of falling asleep called ‘light sleep’ where our body temperature, breathing rate and heart rate lowers. And the last stage called REM i.e. Rapid Eye Movement, which is a dream stage. Alcohol eliminates all the initial stages and makes a person fall into the last stage i.e. REM or unconsciousness and that too for a short period of time. The switch on, switch off mode of REM do not let a person get sound sleep and he/she is not able to sleep properly.
Cigarettes contain Nicotine which is a stimulant as well as a relaxant. As stimuli, it enhances alertness, activeness and psychological attention in a person and due to that, a person could face hardship in sleeping. It interferes with sleep pattern and even changes the biological clock. So it is better to reduce the smoking as well as alcohol intake to improve your sleep.
REDUCE CAFFEINE INTAKE:
Frequent intake of coffee and tea in a day could be hampering your sleep at night. Caffeine is also a stimulant which sends the signal to the brain for alertness and attentiveness. Try not to drink coffee before sleeping and reducing your caffeine intake in the daytime. Gradually your sleep pattern and time will improve.
SHOWER:
An instant way to get better sleep is a nice warm shower before bedtime. Showers instantly reduce your body temperature and relaxes your nerves. It not only cleanses your body, but cleanses your mind. It reduces the tension and can be seen as a nightly ritual.
MEDITATION:
Meditation is not only for your yoga classes. It could be done by you at your home for just 10 minutes also. The proper meditation cycle aligns your chakras and balances your body function. All you need to do is take 10 minutes before sleep and sit in a quiet and peaceful place, concentrate on breath.
