Keys to Good Sleep
According to The Sleep Foundation, practicing healthy sleep habits can help improve the quantity and quality of your sleep. They recommend developing the following sleep habits in order to improve the quality of your sleep:
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine such as listening to soft music, taking a warm bath, or doing some gently stretching exercises such as yoga. Avoid stimulating activities before bedtime.- Do not eat heavy meals right before bedtime. At the same time, do not go to bed hungry. A light, healthy snack is best.
- Create a conducive environment for sleep which is a cool, dark and quiet room.
- Create a regular bedtime and a regular time to awaken each morning.
- Avoid caffeinated drinks (coffee, black tea, cola drinks, etc.) and foods (chocolate) in the afternoon and in the evening.
- Avoid the use of alcoholic drinks to help you sleep.
- Avoid or give up smoking. Nicotine, like caffeine, makes you more alert, but can lead to fragmented sleep.
- Exercise regularly, but not within three hours of bedtime. A regular gentle fitness program such as walking, swimming, or yoga is very helpful for improving the quality of sleep and controlling muscle aching.
- Avoid regular naps. If you need to nap, do so by mid-afternoon and only for 15-30 minutes.
- Be sure your mattress is comfortable and not creating any problems such as pressure points. The new visco elastic foam technology or memory foam is designed to alleviate pressure points.
