Sleep is very important in the life of every person because
it allows the body to repair any worn out tissues and rejuvenate such that you
wake up in the morning looking fresh. It is also through sleep that people rest
their bodies, when all the repair processes take place and any growth hormones
are released. It would therefore be important for every person to ensure they
have had enough sleep through observing certain routines.
1. The
bedroom light
Human bodies are designed to start going into a sleep mode
when it is dark. Avoid confusing your body by having too much light in your
bedroom since this can make you have sleepless nights. In instances where the
city lights are just outside your bedroom window, have a sleeping cloth to
cover your face as you sleep.
The same goes with operating electronic gadgets
that expose your eyes to bright light, since this can make you take long before
falling asleep, a feature that may ultimately affect the body’s ability to
secret growth hormones and any other functions since these are usually timed.
2. Watch
your workouts
Although it is important to exercise in order to keep fit
and enhance the performance of the body, the time when the workout is done
matters a lot in determining whether you will have good night’s sleep after the
workout. Exercises increase your heartbeat, which in turn increases blood
circulation in your body. This is also accompanied by high testosterone levels,
which are meant to make your body stay active. Bedtime is not the perfect time
for this body condition since the organs should already be going on a sleep
mode, which if disrupted could mean you may not sleep well.
3. Your
mattress
Mattresses play a big role in determining whether someone
will sleep well or not. For instance, sleeping on a comfortable mattress will
make your body relax such that your body relaxes, rejuvenates and excretes the
necessary growth hormones appropriately. A pressure mattress could be what
could determine whether you will sleep well or not because it maintains enables,
you maintain even pressure on all parts, which means no part of your body
experiences any discomfort. You should also ensure you use the mattress for
sleep and sex and not your mini office or dining, irrespective of how
comfortable it is. This will ensure the sight of the mattress only triggers
your body to sleep.
4. What
do you do before going to bed
People engage in many things before going to bed every day.
However, having a tendency of watching news just before your bedtime can have
some negative effect on your sleep. Although this may be tempting, remember,
you will still be able to watch the news the following day. You should also minimize
the tendency of watching TV shows and movies before going to bed since this has
the same effect as the news. Taking coffee just before your bedtime is also a
bad idea since it takes too long to get out of your system, which means it may
inhibit the production of growth hormones.
