HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR BETTER SLEEP.

TIP 1. SET A BEDTIME ALARM AND STICK TO A CONSISTENT SLEEP ROUTINE. Your body’s internal clock, a.k.a. your circadian rhythm plays a key role in regulating your sleep-wake cycle. This clock tells your body when it’s time to wake up in the morning and when to start unwinding at the end of the day. 

TIP 2. KEEP YOUR BEDROOM COOL. Lowering your body temperature will help you sleep faster. That's why a bedroom with a temperature of 18°C or  64.4°F is ideal. 

TIP 3. GO OUTSIDE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. Get at least 60 minutes of natural daylight exposure first thing in the morning. Light is the strongest stimulus for regulating a person’s sleep-wake schedule. It doesn’t matter if it’s cloudy or sunshine, the key is to trick the brain into a new morning routine. Don’t put shades on because it will diminish the light reset function in your body clock.

TIP 4. DON'T DRINK COFFEE OR CAFFEINE AFTER NOON. Caffeine has a half-life of six hours. Caffeine is also what we call a psychoactive stimulant. For some people, a single cup of coffee in the morning means a sleepless night. 

TIP 5. BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. Regular aerobic exercise like walking, running, or swimming provides three important sleep benefits: you'll fall asleep faster, attain a higher percentage of restorative deep sleep, and awaken less often during the night.

TIP 6. LIMIT DAYTIME NAPS AFTER 3 PM. Prolonged napping can disrupt your natural sleep cycle and prevent you from feeling tired enough to fall asleep.

TIP 7. EAT HEALTHY AND AT REGULAR TIMES Food is just as powerful a trigger as light is. Avoid large meals and beverages at late night hours. Recent studies have shown that your eating schedule is correlated with how your body clock works. 

TIP 8. CLEAN YOUR BEDROOM AND TURN OF THE BLUE LIGHT DEVICES. Remove the television, telephone, and any other devices that radiate blue light from the bedroom. Blue light can affect your sleep and potentially cause sleep diseases.

HOW MUCH SLEEP DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?

You are actually doing yourself a disservice by sacrificing sleep because, without it, your brain becomes foggy, your judgment poor, and your fine motor skills hindered.

During sleep, your brain is busy processing information from the day and forming memories. Sleep deprivation does, in fact, impair your ability to learn and retain new information.

Behavioral studies have shown the critical role sleep plays as a powerful learning- and memory aid. Both before learning, to prepare your brain for making new memories, and after learning, to cement those memories and prevent forgetting.

These are the recommended sleep durations per age from www.sleepfoundation.org

Newborns (0-3 months) 14-17 h.

WHY IS SLEEP IMPORTANT?

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. 

During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development.

Studies show that a good night's sleep improves learning. Sleep also helps you pay attention, make decisions, and be creative.

The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

Until next time.
