Sleep Hygiene: 4 Quick Tips for Better Zzzzs
Practicing what’s known as good “sleep hygiene” can significantly increase your chances of having a good night’s sleep. Here are 4 quick tips to help boost your sleep hygiene:
Avoiding spicy or rich foods before bed. No more late night curry or ice-cream buckets. These foods are major culprits in triggering indigestion and heartburn, which are really uncomfortable and can keep you up at night.
Avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine in the afternoon and evening.
Avoiding alcohol. Even though a glass of wine can help you fall asleep fast, it can disrupt your sleep in the second part of the night as the body begins to process the alcohol.
Exercise. Did you know that just 10 minutes of exercise a day can drastically improve your quality of sleep? That’s just one more reason to take that walk or go for a run.
Aim to hit the gym earlier in the day though, as exercise can increase energy post-workout, and keep you up at night.
