Hello Andriana

HERE ARE MY BEST TIPS TO SLEEP BETTER.

Getting better sleep quality has made the list of my happiness resolutions. A quality night sleep is something that I have been struggling to achieve. Sleep is important for maintaining good mental and physical health. Lack of sleep has also been linked to a reduction in empathy which affects your overall happiness. To get better sleep quality, I attempt to practice good sleep hygiene and night routine below:

1. Get as much sunlight during the day ☀️: step outside and get your eyes climatise to the light.

2. Do morning workouts 💦: people who exercise in the day sleep better than those who exercise in the evening. Our body temperature has to stay cool to sleep better at night.

3. No food within 1 hour of sleep 🍎: eating increases our body temperature.

4. Block out any source of light 💡: darker lighting triggers the brain to produce melatonin which helps you sleep. It is therefore essential to turn off all devices and avoid netflix right before bedtime (hard to resist, I know!).

5. Sleep in a cool environment ❄️: ideally the best bedroom temperature is around 18-21 degrees celsius temperature.

6. Have a wind down routine ☕️: if you’re an anxious sleeper like me, write all your worries in a journal and fix yourself a cup of chamomile tea to relax.
