]]> Your bedtime routine can help you set the stage for the next day, and that’s why it’s important to put an effort into developing good habits. Here are five bedtime rituals you should leave behind if you’re looking for a way to improve the quality of your sleep.

Screen Time

If you have a habit of scrolling through social media before bed, keep in mind that the blue light emitted from your phone can negatively impact your sleep, so it’s best to put it down an hour before bed.

Drinking Caffeine

The main goal of coffee and other caffeine-based beverages is to keep you awake, so they’re best avoided four to six hours before you’re planning to go to bed.

Drinking Alcohol

Drinking alcohol before going to bed can also significantly impact your sleep. Alcohol can have a negative effect on REM sleep and potentially lead to frequent wakings in the middle of the night.

Big Meals

Big meals are best avoided before you hit the hay, especially greasy and sugary foods, because they can lead to digestion problems.

Intense Activity

Late-night workouts aren’t a great idea because you might struggle falling asleep after intense activity, which can raise your heart rate and stimulate your nervous system.

]]> Getting a good night’s sleep is the difference between having a sluggish day to being productive and active. It’s also associated with a ton of health benefits including lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar and stress, and decreasing your risk for serious health problems like diabetes and heart disease. With all of these reasons to get quality sleep, how can you make your sleep better? It all starts with healthy bedtime habits and these are the five you should try.

Put Away Electronics

In addition to the blue light emitted from your phones and computer screens, the stress of social media and answering emails can make it hard to fall asleep. To help cue your brain and body that it’s time for bedtime, stop using electronics at least 30-60 minutes before bed.

Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, and Large Meals

Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol in the evening and try to finish your dinner at least three hours before heading to bed. If you’re feeling hungry before bed, have a light snack 30-45 minutes before bedtime.

Relax

Find a relaxing and tech free activity to do 30-60 minutes before heading to bed. This could be reading a book, practicing yoga, or taking a warm bath.

Let's talk about bed time habits, today! My ideal( because I am imperfect human! ) day off routine is switching off my room lights and switching on my reading lights. Set an alarm on phone and keep it out of reach. Pick up a book and read to sleep. I make sure it's a hard copy. I don't know whether it's the smell of the pages or the age old saga of 'books inducing sleep' (? ) – I wake up fresh like a fresh spongy bread straight out of oven! . If you have started thinking that I have been always like this. Hold on! I picked up non academic books in second half of 2019. Oh yes, I have always loved libraries but only till the 'library period' continued! Or, visiting one and reading some pages then and there and hardly visiting the book again – I was into short stories and poetry back in FC and one can manage short stints there. . What if my ideal routine is not followed? I read first thing in the morning ( because I workout in the evening ? ). It is such a fine kick start to the day. . Guess what? I am currently reading more. Morning and evening or night. Reading two books at a time. Current reads include Sapiens by @yuval_noah_harari and other being @chirunning by Danny Dreyer. I am enjoying reading more – may be, because I am loving to run, I am loving to explore #running related literature too! Whatever, it's peaceful and fulfilling. . Are you guys still scrolling the phone to sleep? I have seen many people who are positively affected by this very habit. चलो, कुछ बदलते हैं। शायद, जीवन बदल दे। . PS: I have created these bookmarks long back while listening to an online lecture. Trust me, art and craftwork help you concentrate and let not your mind wander. . . . . . . . #bookstagram#books#bookstagrammer#sapiens#chirunning#booksofinstagram#readersofinstagram#bedtimehabits#upscale#UPSC#upscmotivation#upsc2020#irs#beyondupsc#everydaygrateful

Turn the Temperature Down

Before heading to bed, your body temperature drops and if your bedroom is too hot or you exercise too close to bedtime, your body may have difficulty cooling off, which makes it harder to fall asleep. Try and avoid working out too close to bedtime and turn your bedroom temperatures down for a better night’s sleep.

Stay Out of Bed Until Bedtime

Your bed should be reserved for sleeping, so avoid watching TV or working in bed. Got to another room to unwind until you’re ready to fall asleep.

How’s your sleep? . . Many people are not getting enough sleep, especially during this COVID pandemic. Lack of sleep affects both our physical and mental health – our brain & immune system need good quality sleep to function. So what can we do if we’re having trouble sleeping? . . Matthew Walker (neuroscientist sleep specialist) says; – “You should not actually stay in bed for very long awake, because your brain is this remarkably associative device and it quickly learns that the bed is about being awake. So you should go to another room — a room that's dim. Just read a book — no screens, no phones — and only when you're sleepy return to the bed. And that way your brain relearns the association with your bedroom being about sleep rather than wakefulness.” . . Here at Tailored Health we also suggest checking in on your blood sugar levels – if you’re in the midst of a blood sugar rollercoaster this can be extremely disruptive to sleep. . Why not try the following to optimise your sleep; . ⏰Try to stick to a regular sleep schedule to keep your circadian rhythm in check. . ☕Avoid caffeine in the afternoon. . ?Keep your room cool & make it into a sleep sanctuary with essential oils. . ?Check your magnesium levels & intake . ?Turn bright lights down in the evening and avoid screens at least 2hrs before bed . .
