SLEEP WELL

Sleep Well

Getting a good night's sleep is very important for your health. Not getting enough sleep makes you feel tired during the day and can have negative effects on your health. So what can you do to get a good night's sleep? Read on to find out.

One important thing in getting a good night's sleep is to make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleep. It is important to keep your bedroom dark. Research has shown that even a small amount of light in your bedroom can prevent a good night's sleep. Your bedroom should also be the right temperature. Most people sleep well in a room that is around 18° C (65° F). If your bedroom is too hot or too cold, this can interfere with a good night's sleep.

Another important factor in getting a good night's sleep is staying on a sleep schedule. This means going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. This includes weekends and holidays. Going to sleep and waking up at irregular times disrupts your body's sleep clock and this can lead to poor quality sleep.

People who exercise regularly often generally sleep better. This is because your body uses sleep to rest and recover. If there is nothing for your body to recover from, this can lead to a lower quality of sleep. The time you exercise is important. Morning and afternoon are the best. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you will make yourself more awake and then have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. It is best to refrain from exercise 3-4 hours before bed.

Eating a snack before bed can also help you sleep better. Tryptophan is a chemical that can help you sleep better. It is found in foods such as egg whites, cod (a type of fish), soybeans, pumpkin seeds, cheddar cheese, turkey, and wheat. Combining these foods with carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, cereals, etc) in a pre-bedtime snack, can help you fall asleep.

You should avoid nicotine and caffeine before bedtime. This means no smoking before bed. The drug nicotine, which is found in cigarettes, is a stimulant and it will keep you awake. You should also avoid caffeine. Caffeine is found in foods such as chocolate, tea, and coffee. There are also some drugs, such as pain killers, that contain caffeine. Some expertsthink that it is a good idea to avoid caffeine completely because it can stay in your body for up to 12 hours.

Sleeping well is essential for a happy and healthy life. Not sleeping well can negatively affect your energy levels and your health. So if you find yourself not getting a good night's sleep, follow some of this advice and you'll be sleeping well in no time.
