Do you find falling asleep a nightmare? Are you dozing off during the day, when you should be bright and alert? Well, you are not alone. Millions of people have experienced this problem at some point in their lives, going from the acute bout of sleeplessness to having long-term sleeping irregularities. Here are 3 simple techniques to help you sleep well at night, so that you wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. 1) Block the Lights It is a fact that light disturbs the human body clock and its function. This is why you must make sure your bedroom is dark when you go to sleep. Most people are not aware that up to 5% of light can filter through the eyelids, which upsets the cycle of sleep. So block any light sources which may be entering your room. It is also best to have thick curtains or even blinds to keep out the rays of light at first dawn. This is especially important during the summer time hours when the clocks go forward, as it will get lighter even earlier in the mornings. Also, if you find it necessary to get up at night, such as to eat, then do not switch the lights on at full capacity. This is because light disturbs a sleep hormone called melatonin, which is produced in the brain. Melatonin is responsible for harmonizing your body clock and your sleep cycle. So it is vital not to disrupt it and to ensure quality rest. 2) Turn Off the Heating If you keep the heating on at night to stay warm, you may be unknowingly disturbing your sleep pattern. Body temperature has an effect on melatonin, as just before falling asleep, the body has a tendency to cool down, and then increase in the middle of the night. This is how human beings function internally. By leaving the central heating on at this time, it can cause your body temperature to rise higher than usual. This leads to restlessness, tossing and turning since heat causes the body to wake up. If you temporarily turn off your heating system at night, you reduce the chances of overheating your room and yourself. In some European counties, like Germany, it is normal practice for the heating to automatically turn off at night and then turn on again in the morning, even in the winter time. 3) Avoid Stressful Thoughts
Slide 2: Stress has a negative impact on the whole body from the inside to the outside. Financial worries and work-related problems are some of the common reasons. This can take a toll on your sleep pattern, as stress boosts your adrenaline levels, which means you are less likely to be relaxed when it is time to retire at the end of the day. If you concentrate on topics that are unrelated to your worries, it can help to ease your anxieties. In particular, listening to calming music, the scent of a pleasant perfume and focusing on colours have been known to relax the mind. The more you focus on stress-free topics, the less you will think about your worries at night. When you have quality sleep, you feel refreshed, energetic and full of vitality. Hopefully, by applying these 3 techniques, you will feel the benefits of a good night's rest.
