Effective Winter Sleep Practices:
- Avoid Overheating: Keep your bedroom cool, around 18°C, to facilitate natural body cooling that aids sleep initiation.
- Maintain Exercise Routines: Regular physical activity boosts sleep quality by helping you fall asleep faster and deepening your sleep.
- Regulate Sleep Patterns: Avoid excessive weekend sleep-ins which can disrupt your sleep-wake rhythm.
- Use a Humidifier: Counteract dry winter air which can irritate respiratory passages and disturb sleep.
- Morning Sunlight Exposure: Natural light in the morning helps regulate your body clock and improves daytime alertness.
- Avoid Heavy Meals Before Bed: Eating large or rich meals can lead to discomfort and indigestion that disrupt sleep.
- Breathable Bedding: Use thermoregulating bedding materials to maintain comfortable body temperature throughout the night.
