Habits That Help You Sleep Better!

Good night’s sleep is crucial for our general health. What can we do to help ourselves to reach our goals?

Some tips:

1. Stick to a regular sleep schedule

– Support your biological clock by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends. That way, it is easier to keep track.

2. Avoid naps

– Napping during the day can make it more difficult to sleep at night.
If you feel like you have to take a nap, limit it to 30 minutes before 3 p.m.

3. Limit caffeine, alcohol and nicotine

– Stop drinking caffeinated beverages at least eight hours before bed.
We do not want to stimulate ourselves before going to bed.

4. Avoid late meals

– Try to avoid heavy, rich foods within two hours of bed.
Fatty foods can take a lot of work for your stomach to digest.

5. Get regular exercise

Aim for 30 minutes or more of activity on most days
—but not too close to bedtime.
