It is not good to spend a lot of time in bed during the day
Specialists recommend that we use the bed only for sleeping. Watching TV, reading, working or studying must be in a specially designated area. The reason is simple: the bed is subconsciously associated with sleep.
As soon as we lie down, the brain ceases to be active and prepares to recharge. If we spend too much time in bed, then this connection will no longer exist and falling asleep will become much more difficult.
Daylight should have easy access at our workplace, otherwise our biological clock suffers
There must be a lot of light in the workroom. This way our body will not be confused and will be able to rest at night.
If we do not eat after 18:00, we must change our habits
Both full and empty stomach are equally harmful to the quality of your sleep. A light breakfast in the evening will even help us sleep better.
However, if we are too concerned about our weight, we can drink at least a glass of warm milk – it contains tryptophan, which has a calming effect.
Lower temperatures give us quality sleep
Sleeping in a well-warmed room is much harder than in a cool room. It sounds strange, but the ideal sleep temperature is between 15 and 19 °C.
There is an easy way to check if your room is cool enough: if we want to cover ourselves with a blanket, then everything is fine.
Sleepy nose sprays interfere with sleep
The simplest option is a nasal spray that works almost instantly. However, it must be used with caution: by mid-night our nose will be clogged again and we will have a headache in the morning.
Abdominal sleep guarantees poor sleep
Abdominal sleep is considered to be the worst of all postures – we squeeze our stomach and strain the muscles of our back and neck. It is best to sleep on your back.
In case of insomnia, it is better for the couple to sleep in different rooms
If we work at different times or either of the two snores it is better to sleep in separate rooms so that we can rest and get some sleep for the next day.
Pets spoil the quality of sleep
Unfortunately, they have radically different biological rhythms. The best option is to sleep in different rooms or at least not in one bed.
Cell phones should not be near us
Waves from our smartphones interfere with sleep. When they are around, we can see what time it is and worry that we have little time to sleep.
