10 Tips for Achieving Better Sleep

May 14, 2018

Getting adequate sleep is vital for our health and productivity. If you're not meeting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep daily, you might experience low energy, irritability, and reduced concentration.

Here are ten tips to improve your sleep:

  1. Establish a Routine: Consistency is key. Going to bed at the same time each night helps regulate your body's internal clock.
  2. Limit Caffeine: Avoid caffeine four hours before bedtime, including coffee, tea, and certain sodas and chocolates.
  3. Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can disrupt sleep in the latter part of the night and should be avoided four hours before bedtime.
  4. Reduce Nicotine Use: Nicotine is a stimulant and can impair your ability to fall and stay asleep.
  5. Manage Meal Timing: Eat your last meal at least two hours before bedtime to avoid discomfort.
  6. Dim Electronic Screens: Reduce exposure to blue light from screens a few hours before bed to help promote melatonin production.
  7. Create a Comfortable Environment: Ensure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and at a comfortable temperature.
  8. Protect Your Bed: Use Protect-A-Bed® mattress protectors and pillow protectors to create a cleaner and allergen-free sleep environment.
  9. Relax Before Bed: Dedicate the hour before bed to relaxing activities like reading or listening to music.
  10. Don't Force Sleep: If you can't sleep, get up and engage in a quiet activity until you feel sleepy.

Adopting these habits can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health. Consult your GP if sleep problems persist.
