Lucky are those who sleep soundly during the night. For those who struggle with getting good shut-eye, Miss Ohlala has some suggestions for getting you to sleep like a baby.
It’s truly a blessing to be able to knock yourself out as soon as your head hits the pillow. But in this age of constant stress, many find it difficult to drift off into peaceful slumber. Doctors recommend at least six to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, yet for some, that’s easier said than done.
Here are some tips to help you achieve better sleep:
Stick to a sleep schedule. Maintaining a consistent bedtime helps your body establish a natural sleep rhythm. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This routine makes it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. And remember, avoid napping during the day to keep your sleep cycle intact.
Use your bed for sleep only. It’s tempting to scroll through social media or catch up on emails from the comfort of your bed, but these activities confuse your brain. Reserve your bed for sleep, training your mind to associate it with rest only.
Invest in good-quality bedding. A supportive mattress and comfortable pillows can transform your sleep. Proper posture and comfort are essential for a night of restful, uninterrupted shut-eye, so don’t skimp on bedding essentials.
Journalling before bed. If your mind is racing with thoughts, try writing them down. Journalling can help you release your worries and wind down, making it easier for your mind to relax.
Good sleep is not just about quantity but quality. With the right habits, you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to embrace the day ahead – because true wellness begins the moment you rise from an undisturbed slumber
