Did you know that the amount and quality of your sleep has a big influence on your energy level, your ability to concentrate, your mood, your morale, and your general wellbeing? These tips will help you sleep well.
Keep your bedroom: quiet, comfortable, cool, and a place where you feel good and safe.
- The sleep hormone secreted by you brain needs darkness, so limit all light sources in your room. As soon as you wake up, let in light to help regulate your sleep cycle.
Create a routine that helps you sleep better:
- A good lifestyle helps sleep (e.g., eating well-balanced meals at regular times, participating in physical and outdoor activities, etc.).
- Go to bed and wake up at times that don’t vary much from day to day.
- Try to always do the same things before going to bed (e.g., take a shower, brush your teeth, play soft music, etc.) so that your body recognizes the signs that it will soon be time to go to sleep.
- In the hour before bedtime, choose quiet activities to free you from thoughts that worry you. For example, you can draw, keep a diary, chat with someone, etc.
Put away your screens an hour before going to bed. Screens produce light and stimulate your brain, which makes it difficult to fall asleep:
- The notifications that you get on your devices can upset you and interfere with your sleep. Try to put your devices away for the night outside your room or put them on silent mode so that you don’t hear the notifications, or you can put them facedown on your dresser.
Sleep for 8 to 10 hours a night to function well and to develop healthily!
