Tips for Getting a Good Night's Sleep


Sleep is the best reliever of all physical pain and stress, not only it is important to get sleep but also important to take quality sleep without any disturbance, to feel conformable and tress less.

Here are a few tips to get better sleep:

  1. It is important to maintain the same sleep timing every single day. This helps to naturalize your body clock and get the best quality sleep.
  2. Before going to sleep switch off all electronic devices like mobile phones, laptops, television etc. Their artificial light not only panniers your eyesight, but also extends the amount of time your body takes to relax and fall to sleep.
  3. If your back pain caused you to continually wake up in the middle of the night in discomfort, then sleep with pillow between your legs so as to straighten out your back and relieve pent up stress.
  4. The Importance of your pillow can never be stressed upon enough. Your pillow should be not too fat, hard or soft. It should just about support the natural curve of your neck, so that it is perfectly aligned with the centre of your body.  Correct sleeping postures are extremely important.
  5. It is necessary to make sure about your room is nice and dark, so as to inspire the secretion of hormone called melatonin that is regulated by light exposure. Darker the room, grater melatonin, make you more sleepy.
  6. Exercise well before bedtime. If required, do some light yoga or stretching exercises that promote sleep.
  7. What you eat throughout the day makes a difference to the quality of your sleep. Stay away from too much caffeine, alcohol, or a heavy meal just before sleeping. They only make you stay awake for longer and may cause heartburn or stomach trouble. Don't drink too much water, or else you will be making more midnight trips to the bathroom than clocking those sleep hours.
  8. Try to keep your head clear of all worries and stress when in bed. Regular meditation and deep breathing can help.
