I believe that maintaining adequate amounts of quality sleep is essential to optimal health and well-being. Because we all want to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, focus and excited for the day right!!
If you are feeling run-down, struggling to focus, or feeling irritable for no clear reason, you may want to look into your sleep patterns. In a fast-paced environment, many people forgo sleep and overextend themselves to catch up on work and other responsibilities.
Here I have some Steps to improve the quality of sleep and give ourselves the deserved rest we need to function.
NUTRITION
What and When we eat affects our bodies natural ability to both energize and rest.
Consuming our largest meal in the middle of the day and a lighter meal in the evening can also help us take full advantage of our body's natural nighttime repair process.
Limiting sugar and caffeine intake during the day and especially in the afternoon/evening hours is a important one to put in practice.
ENVIROMENT
Remove electronics from your room, phone next to your bed?? I will say No No to that; as well computers, tablets,-readers anything that emit "blue light" that can affect your body's production of melatonin.
Make your bedroom simple and clean. The less clutter the better. Something as simple as making your own bed may also fell mentally clearer.
DAILY RHYTHMS
Create a bedtime routine, going to bed and waking up at a similar time each day can help the body get into a healthy rhythm.
Consider relaxing activities in the evening hours like Yoga, Meditation and even being intimate will help prepare you for bedtime :)
If your mind can't stop, it can be helpful to have a pen and paper to write down your thoughts.
Having a good night's sleep may be the missing link for your Healthier Lifestyle, so put in practice some of these tips to improve your Sleep and achieve your optimal health.
