A good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Sleeping directly affects your mental and physical health and the quality of your life. Fall short and it can take a serious toll on your daytime energy, productivity, emotional balance, and even your weight.
Making simple but important changes to your daytime routine and bedtime habits can have a profound impact on how well you sleep, leaving you feeling mentally sharp, emotionally balanced, and full of energy all day long. Here are some:
1. Set A Timetable
The main step you can take to start getting better sleep is to set a fixed nap plan and to stick to — even on vacations.
For the best results, don’t try to fight your individual rhythm. Respect your body’s preferences if at all probable.
2. Check Your Pre-Bed Intake

You’re not intended to digest and sleep at the same time, so do your best to make sure you either coddle in that heavy dinner early in the night or stick to lighter foods if you’ll be eating later.
Feeling starved during bedtime? Almonds, chamomile and oatcakes are good, and also bananas have high levels of serotonin and magnesium, which help you sleep well.
3. Mind Your Beverages
You need to be careful about not consuming caffeine later in the day if you want to get a good night’s sleep, even alcohol can also bother your sleep? That hot toddy might make you feel somnolent at bedtime, but it’ll make the second half of your night more distressed and less restful.
So have that glass of wine early enough that it’s out of your structure by the time you turn out the light.
4. Stretch Out

This is essential if you spend a good quota of the day arched over a computer, or in poses that leave you with a lot of tension. We recommend a bit of quick in-bed yoga before that good night sleep.
5. Power Down Your Devices

The light released by your computer and other tools can keep you up, so switch them off a good hour or two before bed (this will also help you clear your head of the day’s anxieties before you hit the sack).
6. Set The Scene

Your body’s ideal sleeping milieu is cool, dark, and quiet, so do your best to abolish noise and light from your room. A comfy bed is also apparently essential. So today go home and check on your essentials.
7. Don’t Stress
A consistent sleep agenda is great, but don’t be a slave to your plan or stress out if you’re not sleepy at the right time. Whatever you do, don’t grip over time. Sleep stress-free.
Tonight’s gonna be a good night!
