Do you wake up in the morning feeling less rested than when you went to bed? A few changes to your daily routines can help you get better sleep and a more well-functioning body and brain.
De-stress: Carefully think about your day. What stresses you out? It’s important to reduce potential stress factors. It’s also crucial to learn how to handle a stressful situation in the best possible way. Relaxation through breathing exercises and stretching can be relaxing and calming.
Turn off the TV in time: Melatonin – known as the sleep hormone – needs to be present in sufficient amounts for a good night’s sleep. Examples of what inhibits melatonin production include blue light because the brain interprets it as daylight. Blue light comes from screens, TVs, computers, and mobile phones. So try to turn off these devices an hour before bedtime.
