The pace of our lives is sometimes quite crazy, but we must recognize that healthy sleep is the key to your activity and well-being. IDEIA has prepared for you a few simple rules, following which your sleep will definitely be complete and healthy.
- Choose a constant time of sleep and activity.
Why is this important? Our body is very loyal to us humans and is ready to adjust to the pace of life, but it still needs a regime. It is important to eat at about the same time, because then the stomach produces the necessary amount of enzymes for digestion. The same with sleep. You can (smartwatch will swear, but you can) sleep less than 8 hours. But do it at the same time so that the body understands what to focus on and when there will be rest.
- Turn off all light sources.
The presence of light, even the smallest, does not allow the eyes to fully relax and confuses the sensors. And without maximum relaxation - healthy sleep is impossible. If for some reason there is no light completely - special sleep masks come to the rescue.
- The same applies to noise.
Silence is a necessary condition for comfortable sleep.
- Remove all gadgets from the bedroom.
Put your smartphone in flight mode. Suddenly one of your friends does not know that you have a mode and will send a funny memchik? Laughing is, of course, good. But a sudden awakening from phone notifications drives our body into stress. Why do we need extra stress?
- Avoid stress before bed.
Do not scold your baby, do not swear at the other half at bedtime. It is best to postpone this until the morning. Several issues will be resolved simultaneously. You'll get a good night's sleep, cool off, and be able to figure out a fresh relationship. Or, it turns out that there is nothing to find out…
- Drink warm herbal or valerian tea at bedtime.
Warm tea will help you relax well and fall asleep faster. And valerian is good for the nervous system. Be careful, choose herbs for tea carefully. Suddenly there will be something urinating?
- Relax as much as possible.
Get rid of all unnecessary thoughts. Remember Scarlett O'Hara: "I'll think about it tomorrow." It works.
- Do not drink caffeinated beverages at bedtime.
It will not let you fall asleep, because caffeine provokes brain activity, and accordingly, you will not be able to get rid of obsessions, so fall asleep quickly. Precious time was lost, and rest did not take place.
- Do a few cycles of breathing exercises before bed.
Pranayama will calm you down and set you up for relaxation. Helps to relax and fall asleep quickly.
