How To Get A Better Night’s Sleep

We’d all like to have a perfect night’s sleep every night, but that’s not always the case. But could you do more with your space to help get more shut-eye? Here’s how to get a better night’s sleep.

 

1. Reduce Blue Light Exposure Before Bed

Blue light exposure is what keeps your brain wired, and if you’re using it before going bed then you are going to find it more difficult to switch off. The best thing to do is just to remove any electronic devices that use blue light from your bedroom or to not touch them for at least an hour before you go to sleep. The other option is to get some blue light blocking reading glasses to cancel out any blue light. This certainly helps but also reduces the likelihood of sore and dry eyes, along with headaches you get from too much blue light exposure.

 

2. Only Have Caffeine In The Morning

Caffeine is a drug that energizes your body, and therefore, it’s handy to have it in the morning to start off your day. The later you have it in the day, the more likely you’re going to keep yourself awake for hours until eventually being able to drift off at night. Train yourself to have one to two at maximum per day and restrict yourself to the mornings only.

 

3. Try To Have A Fixed Sleep Routine

With 2019’s best mattress under you, there should be no issues with sleeping comfortably, but a fixed sleep routine is certainly needed. To do this, you want to be making sure that you are going to bed at the same time every night and then ensuring you get up at the same time each morning. To reduce the amount of disruption, try incorporating various aids to help you sleep all the way through. Blackout blinds for blocking out the light, or an eye mask if you can’t afford the blinds. Earplugs are great if you live near a main road or a busy street and if you are drinking water during the day, go to the toilet before going bed.

 

4. Trigger Your Body For Sleep

Your body is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it needs training in order to recognize that you should be doing certain things. Sleep for example can be triggered before you get into bed through various things you can do. This might be changing into your pajamas or having a cup of tea. Doing this each night will help your body recognize when it’s time for bed and to give it a chance to relax and unwind ready for sleep. Triggers are great for you to get a better night’s sleep and so that you’re not lying awake in bed, struggling to sleep.

 

Getting a good night’s sleep promotes good health, and it also helps you feel more like yourself, giving you plenty of energy needed for the day or week ahead of you. It’s your body’s opportunity to rest and recover, so deny it the sleep it needs!
