Summer is one of the times we often get insomnia and find it hard to sleep regularly. This obviously affects how our body works completely, including how well we burn calories, feeling lazy, and getting headaches at weird times of the day.
Most of our followers commented about sleep and said they can't sleep well. So we made this topic for you. Simply, if you do these 5 steps every night before bed, you'll fall asleep faster and most importantly, more regularly.
The steps are not in order, do whatever fits your day
Step one
Create an ideal sleep environment
- Lower the room temperature. Cooler surroundings help relax you and prevent waking up during sleep stages
- Avoid looking at your phone, tablet, or laptop screen two hours before sleep. Or at least use "dark mode"
- I run a fan beside the bed on the lowest setting. Anything that makes "white noise" can help you relax more and also reduces annoying sounds like neighbors or cars in the street.
- Try to avoid anything making loud noise like playing loud music or the radio or anything annoying near the room.
???? Step two
Take a hot shower before bed. Relaxing in a hot bath helps your body relax for better sleep. You can also put on some body lotion since it helps moisturize your skin and keep its temperature.
???? Step three
People who really suffer from insomnia and lack of sleep, it's not just being picky. You can take 400 mg of magnesium supplement 30 to 45 minutes before bed. Magnesium helps get rid of insomnia and also improves sleep quality. You can find it in pharmacies in the vitamins section.
???? Step four
Sleep in a comfortable position. Try to lie in a comfortable way while sleeping. Like sleeping straight on your back or on your side, preferably your left side. This helps your brain and muscles prepare better for relaxation and prevents pain when waking up. Avoid sleeping on your stomach since it's the worst position.
The fifth step
Don't skip dinner. The best time for dinner is 3 hours before sleep. This is because the stomach is at its best when full, helping it relax. Also, feeling hungry might wake you up during sleep and ruin all you've done before.
