To enjoy a restful night's sleep, it is essential to practise good sleep hygiene.
Most of us know that this involves less screen time and alcohol just before bed, but many of us resist the idea because watching the TV with a glass of wine is an excellent way to wind down. Unfortunately, this habit doesn't really help you relax. It stimulates the nervous system, preventing you from sleeping well.
Try these tips ahead of your night's sleep:
- Avoid blue light. Try wearing blue light glasses if you are using your phone, laptop or watching TV before bed.
- Switch your phone to flight mode.
- Your bedroom should be cool, airy, silent and dark.
- Don't eat or drink alcohol
A racing mind and breathing irregularities both contribute to insomnia.
