Here are 4 strong tips to having a good night rest.
1. Avoid taking Caffeine Late in the Day.
Caffeine when consumed late in the day may prevent your body from naturally relaxing at night due to the stimulating effect on your nervous system
Research shows that consuming caffeine up to six hours before bed significantly worsened sleep quality so sticking with decaffeinated coffee in late evenings is probably better.
2. Take a Relaxing Bath or Shower.
Having a relaxing bath or shower is another simple way to sleep better.
Studies have shown it can improve overall sleep quality and help people fall asleep faster, especially the elderly
In one study, a hot bath 90 minutes before bed improved sleep quality and helped participants get greater amounts of deep sleep.
Also, if you don't want to take a full bath at night, studies have shown that just bathing your feet in hot water can help you relax and improve sleep.
3. Have a restful environment.
Try to create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet, and if you are the music type have something cool playing in the background.
Exposure to light might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.
4.Use a good pillow position.
The perfect position to sleep is to have your head and spine in a straight line this is to avoid tension or cramps that will definitly prevent you from enjoying your rest.
if you are a stomach sleeper,it's better if you use no pillow at all to keep your body straight.
