How can you care about your sleeping patterns?
Stick to a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time
every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock and promotes
better sleep quality.
Limit Naps: If you have trouble sleeping at night, try to limit daytime naps or avoid
them. Especially in the late afternoon or evening.
Use Alarm Clocks: Set an alarm clock to remind you when it's time to start winding
down for bed and when it's time to wake up in the morning.
What are the stimulants to avoid before sleep?
Limit Screen Time: Reduce exposure to electronic devices like smartphones, tablets,
and computers at least an hour before bedtime. The blue light emitted by screens can
interfere with your body's production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.
Watch Your Diet and Exercise: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol close
to bedtime, as these can disrupt your sleep. Engage in regular exercise, but try to avoid
vigorous activity too close to bedtime.
Loud Noises: Loud music, arguments, or other noise from nearby residences can disturb
your sleep, as well nearby roads or highways can be a significant disturbance.
Which activities cause Stress before bedtime?
Work or Finanacial Planning: Activities like the metioned can increase your cortisol
levels, making it harder to fall asleep.
Playing video games: The excitement and stimulation from gaming can activate your
brain, making it difficult to wind down.
Watching news or scary movies: The adrenaline and fear response from watching
disturbing content can make it difficult to relax and fall asleep, on the other hand stress
and anxiety from watching news can be difficult to shake off before bed, making it hard to
relax.
