8 ways to have a great night’s sleep
A good night’s sleep is important for everyone. That sounds obvious, but it’s not for everyone. Are you struggling with getting a good night’s rest? We have put together some tips for you. Hopefully you will sleep a lot better after reading these tips!
A good rhythm is key
If you go to bed and get up at the same time each day, you will notice that you sleep better.
Avoid naps
We know, a nap every now and then can be great. But it does not help you with a good night’s sleep. Naps actually disrupt your sleep. So, try to avoid them!
Turn off your screens in time
You probably know that using your phone or watching TV before going to bed is not a good idea. If you want to get a better night’s sleep, it’s important to turn off screens an hour before you go to bed. Blue light, coming from screens, can keep you awake.
Create a nice and quiet place to sleep
A tidy and clean bedroom ensures a better night’s sleep. It’s also important to provide a good mattress, a good pillow and a nice duvet cover. Opening a window is also very pleasant when sleeping. This ensures good ventilation and enough fresh air.
Make sure you get enough exercise
Make sure you get enough exercise
You will sleep better at night if you make sure that you have had enough (at least half an hour) of physical activity during the day. Think for example of cycling or walking. An evening walk can also help you relax. This will ensure that you sleep better. Try to avoid intensive exercise before going to bed, as this will give you energy again.
Avoid late night snacking
Try to avoid things like coffee, tea, chocolate and sugar in the evening. This will make you sleep worse. If you do get hungry at night, try to eat something light. It is also very important not to smoke and not to drink alcohol before going to bed if you want to improve your sleep.
Enough sleep is important!
Not getting enough sleep is obviously not good for you. Adults often need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep.
