6 STEPS TO A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

November 29, 2021 in LIFESTYLE
unmade bed

Nobody is going to drift easily into a peaceful slumber every night. So many things other than sleep are fighting for our brain’s attention. Consider all of the things that can prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep, from work stress and family obligations to unforeseen problems like illness or the attraction of technology at bedtime. It’s no surprise that getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult. If you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep try out some of the more common ways to improve sleep, such as creating a sleep plan or incorporating physical activity into your daily routine. You can develop habits that will help you sleep better.

Maintain A Regular Sleep Routine

Allow for a maximum of eight hours of sleep. A healthy adult should get at least seven hours of sleep per night. To attain this goal, most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed. Apple have a new feature called Sleep Focus, where you can set your phone to tell you to sleep if you look at it, between certain hours. You have to actively ‘disregard’ the message before you can see any notifications on your phone that might tempt you to open them.

Every day, go to bed and wake up at the same hour. On weeknights and weekends, try to keep the time gap between your sleep schedules to no more than one hour. Consistency helps to maintain your body’s sleep-wake cycle. You can monitor your sleep cycle by tracking your sleep with a FitBit.

Leave your bedroom and do something soothing if you don’t fall asleep within 20 minutes. Relax by reading or listening to peaceful music. When you’re exhausted, go back to bed. Repeat the process as needed.

Keep Track Of What You Eat And Drink

Make sure you’re not hungry or stuffed full when going to bed. Avoid eating anything heavy or substantial within a couple of hours of going to bed. It’s possible that your discomfort will keep you awake.

Nicotine, coffee, and alcohol should all be avoided. Nicotine and caffeine’s stimulating effects take hours to wear off and can disrupt sleep quality. Even though alcohol makes you tired at first, it can disturb sleep later in the night.

Create A Relaxing Atmosphere

Make a sleeping-friendly environment. This usually entails something cool, dark, and silent. It can be more difficult to fall asleep if you are exposed to light. Before going to bed, avoid using light-emitting screens for an extended time. To create a setting that meets your needs, consider utilising room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan, or other gadgets.

Before night falls, try relaxing activities like taking a bath or utilising relaxation techniques to help you sleep better. You could also help with your atmosphere by using aromatherapy and some CBD oils – if you are in the UK Simply CBD is good.

Take Fewer Naps During The Day

Long naps during the day can disrupt nocturnal sleep. If you must nap, keep it to 30 minutes or less and avoid napping late in the day. If you work nights, you may need to take a nap late in the day before work to make up for lost sleep.

Make Physical Activity a Part of Your Day-To-Day Routine

Regular physical activity can help you sleep better. However, avoid being active too close to bedtime. Spending time outside every day could also be beneficial.

Take Care of Your Worries

Before going to bed, try to put your anxieties and concerns to rest. Make a mental note of what’s on your mind and set it aside for tomorrow. If that’s not enough, keep a notepad and pen by your bed and write down everything that’s worrying you, with a plan to tackle each in the morning. Stress management may be beneficial if you think your worries are more than simple everyday stresses. Begin with the fundamentals, such as being organised, prioritising, and delegating chores. Meditation can also help with anxiety.

5 products you help you look and feel more confide 5 products you help you look and feel more confident & attractive 💕
Neom Wellbeing Pod Mini Diffuser & Calm + Relax Essential Oil - Fill your room with calming essential oils as you get ready for your date night. A blend of 16 of the purest essential oils including Moroccan blush rose, lime and black pepper. All chosen to help bring a feeling of calm. Use my affiliate link for 20% off - https://community.neomorganics.com/s/alifewithfrills
Cosmoss @cosmoss The Sacred Mist - A gorgeous fragrance of empowerment. This scent created by Kate Moss & Homeopath Victoria Young, is deeply calming and uplifting. The perfect fragrance to soothe your date night nerves and balance your anxious emotions, whilst uplifting your mood. A blend of beautiful earthy and floral botanical notes.
The One @theone_personalcareofficial - This unique rollerball product has been designed with the findings of two scientific studies. A study of 50 young women found humans produce the same copulins as nonhuman primates. The concentration of these copulins increases during parts of the menstrual cycle in which women are more likely to be fertile.
Another study exposed men to copulins and asked them to rate the attractiveness of women’s faces. During exposure to the copulins men had higher testosterone levels and rated women as more attractive. A follow-up study validated the findings.
This product combines two ingredients - it is a blend of jasmine flower, whose fragrance increases the testosterone in men, and carob tree, whose fatty acids mimic the composition of copulins - those pheromones secreted by women that stimulate men subconciously. Could it make you more attractive to the opposite sex? Use the code Laura for 20% off.
Charlotte Tilbury @charlottetilbury Glow Glide Architect Highlighter in Gilded Glow - Get a breathtaking glow that will make you shine, even if you don’t feel like it inside.
MZ Skin @mzskinofficial Volumising Lip Perfector - Get plump and juicy lips that look kissable, for all those date night smooches.
