Tips to sleep better
- Less exposure to blue light
- Blue light is a high visible light frequency that can be seen through the human eye. It can be found in the sun, fluorescent lights, LED lighting, flat-screen TVs, computer screens and smartphones. Blue light has proven to cause long-term eye-sight and can cause the brain to produce day-time light hormones, making it hard to sleep.
- Wake up and sleep at consistent times
- Since the body is on a circadian rhythm, having a regular sleeping schedule can serve a positive long-term sleep quality.
- Plan your bedtime
- Having a scheduled bedtime can reduce the temptations to stay up early, making a higher chance to get the needed 8 hours of sleep.
- Take a melatonin supplement
- Melatonin is a key sleep hormone that relaxes the brain to go to sleep. Often to treat insomnia, it can help people struggling with sleeping to have an improved sleep schedule and quality.
- Relax and clear the mind
- Having a pre-sleep routine can help improve your amount of sleep and its quality. Strategies of relaxing the brain can include music, reading a book, a shower, meditating, deep breathing, and other methods. Everyone has their own way to fall asleep, but having a relaxed mind can improve your sleep efficiently.
