Struggling to sleep? Here are 5 common culprits:
π Restless Nights: Tossing and turning in bed can disrupt your sleep. If you can't sleep after 15 minutes, get up and engage in a calming activity before returning to bed.
π Unfriendly Environment: A noisy, bright, or warm room can hinder sleep. Create a serene sleeping space by darkening the room, reducing noise, and lowering the temperature.
π Daytime Naps: Lengthy daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep. They reduce 'sleep pressure,' making it harder to fall asleep at night.
π Screen Time: Screens emit blue light that mimics daylight, keeping you awake. Minimize screen use in the bedroom, and consider using 'do not disturb' or 'night mode.'
π Caffeine Overload: Too much caffeine, especially later in the day, can delay sleep and reduce deep sleep. Avoid caffeine, including coffee, tea, and dark chocolate, from midday onward.
