a better night’s sleep

Chloe Mort

Are you tired of feeling tired all the time?

Do you struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night?

 

If so, you're not alone.

 

Many people struggle with getting a good night's sleep. But the good news is, there are steps you can take to fix your sleep schedule and get a better night's sleep.

 

1.    Establish a sleep schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps to regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.

 

2.    Create a relaxing bedtime routine. This could include things like taking a warm bath, reading a book, or practicing meditation or deep breathing exercises. Avoid using electronics in the hour before bedtime, as the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with sleep.

3.    Creating a comfortable sleep environment. Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in comfortable bedding and a supportive mattress and pillow. If noise is an issue, try using earplugs or a white noise machine.

 

4.    Avoid certain things that can disrupt sleep, such as caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals in the evening. Try to finish eating and drinking at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

 

5.    Exercise can be a great way to improve sleep quality. However, it's important to time your workouts properly. Exercising too close to bedtime can actually make it harder to fall asleep. Aim to finish your workout at least a few hours before bedtime.

 

Fixing your sleep schedule and getting a better nights sleep is possible with a few simple lifestyle changes. Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, create a comfortable sleep environment, avoid sleep disruptors, and incorporate exercise into your routine.

 

With these tips, you'll be on your way to better sleep and feeling more rested and energised in no time!
