Mastering Sleep Hygiene
✨Longing for your sleep to be a bit better? 😴
Sleep hygiene refers to using healthy habits, behaviours and environmental factors to improve your sleep. Small changes can make a big difference in balancing your circadian rhythm and getting you a good night sleep.
Some simple tips:
- Try to expose yourself to some natural light in the morning by opening all the blinds, stepping outside and trying to catch the morning sun.
- Avoid artificial light in the evening in the form of bright fluorescent bulbs and screens. If you can't avoid it then try to use blue light blocking glasses.
- Aim to wake and sleep at the same time each day.
- Avoid caffeine after midday.
- Create a calming evening routine that might include taking a bath, reading a book, journalling or meditating.
There are many herbs and supplements that may be right for you to help your body fall into a much needed deep sleep. They can be beneficial in balancing your circadian rhythm and regulating hormone production.
