5 sleep tips that will help you wake up refreshed
1st tip:
Avoid caffeine - coffee, black tea, Coca Cola and energy drinks - 8 hours before bedtime. For example, if you go to bed at 11:30 p.m., have your last caffeinated drink at 3:30 p.m.
Do not eat 3 hours before going to bed. Going to bed while your body is digesting is not a good idea and will make it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. Do you go to bed at 11.30pm for example? Have your last meal around eight o'clock.
3rd tip:Limit blue light 2.5 hours before bed. This is mainly emitted by our beloved monitors - laptop, mobile phone, television. Blue light reduces the production of melatonin and then we don't want to sleep, even if the clock shows late evening.
4th tip:1 hour before going to bed, air out the bedroom for at least 15 minutes. The ideal temperature for falling asleep is around 19 °C.
5th tip:Even if it's cold outside, don't sleep with the heater on. This unnecessarily dries out the air, you will have trouble breathing, and therefore also trouble sleeping. Better to flood during the day and turn off the heating at night.
