HEALTH & BEAUTY Sleep tight Improve your sleep habits
Good sleep habits ensures you consistently enjoy higher-quality, more restful sleep for a sufficient amount of time each night.
Good sleep is critical to maintaining balanced mental, emotional, and physical health. It helps you stay focused during the day and regulates your mood, so that you feel more productive and functional on a daily basis.
If you’re waking up unrested each morning, wake frequently during the night, feel tired during the day, or have trouble falling asleep at night, there’s a very good chance that you have bad sleep habits. Following a regular sleep schedule and avoiding caffeine late at night are good sleep habits practices.
The most important elements of sleep habits require the following from your bedroom:
• Temperature – neither too hot nor too cold • Darkness – the darker, the better • Quiet – the less noise, the better
• A comfortable place to lie down and stretch out We’re all unique
Adults typically require around seven hours of sleep but we are all different and you may need more or less than the recommended amount. Set aside enough time for you to realistically get at least seven hours of sleep. If you do this for a few days and still wake up feeling unrested, gradually increase the number.
On the other hand, if you bound out of bed each morning after only six hours and still feel great, don’t worry about it. What’s important is that you feel well-rested – not that you get the “correct” amount of sleep.
Be consistent
Set your alarm for the morning and get up the same time every day, even if you had a bad night with frequent awakenings.
