"Sleep disorders" are one of the major problems facing modern people. Based on my experience as a holistic health coach and counselor, I have witnessed many people, regardless of their age, students or professionals, suffering from insomnia.
Sleep deprivation is a serious problem for human health. Lack of sleep not only reduces daytime performance, increases stress and anxiety, but also increases the risk of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and weakened immune system. Therefore, in this article, I will introduce some simple techniques to help improve sleep.
First, it is important to set a regular sleep schedule. By setting a regular bedtime and wake-up time, including weekends, you can maintain a natural sleep cycle. Also, by consuming foods that increase melatonin such as pumpkin seeds before bedtime or wearing blue light-blocking glasses, you can promote high-quality sleep.
Furthermore, improving the bedroom environment is also important. Using blackout curtains, earplugs, and white noise can be effective in reducing light and noise in the bedroom. Also, it is recommended to use sleep tracking apps such as Sleep Cycle or Beddit to know the optimal sleep method for yourself.
Creating a relaxation routine before bedtime is also important. You can refresh your mind and body by doing light yoga or meditation, writing in a journal, or finding methods that work best for you. On the other hand, it is best to avoid caffeine and stimulants in the afternoon and try natural sleep aids such as magnesium.
Finally, it is important to create a comfortable sleep environment. By using the right temperature, appropriate mattress and pillows, and breathable sheets, you can improve sleep quality.
Remember that healthy sleep is one of the fundamental elements of a healthy life. Sleep is the time for rest and recovery that we need to perform daily activities. If sleep disorders affect your daily life, it is recommended to consult with a professional. With proper care, you can develop healthy sleep habits.
