Top 3 Tips to Get Good Sleep
How can I sleep better?
Getting a quality 8 hour sleep can be a challenge for everyone. With the current break from our usual routine, maintaining a good sleep schedule is absolutely vital. Proper amounts of sleep help us with our immune system, proper muscle recovery, weight management and countless other areas related to our health.
Tip #1: Careful What You Consume
-
Caffeine will obviously affect your ability to sleep, but other diuretics (such as alcohol) or other foods (chocolate, spicy foods) can also interfere with sleep
-
Consumption of social media or hours of a Netflix show before bed will also inhibit your ability to get a quality sleep
Tip #2: Create an Evening Routine Before Bed
-
Try and follow a routine each night, such as always washing your face, brushing your teeth and then reading a book
-
You can also incorporate something to help you relax before you sleep. Practicing mindfulness or deep breathing can help people settle into a better sleep
Tip #3: Practice Good Habits During The Day
-
Daily exercise is one of the best things you can do for sleep
-
Avoid spending too much time in bed during the day (no eating or watching TV/playing on your phone)
-
Try to get up at a similar time each day
Remember, this is just general information.
If you have specific medical conditions, are experiencing pain, or you’re just not sure where to start when it comes to exercise, please remember we’re here for you.
