#1. Clear your mind before bed.
One of the most effective techniques for improving your sleep and your ability to fall asleep quickly is to clear your mind of all worries. How? Nothing could be simpler! Get into the habit of writing down the thoughts that are bothering you or your to-do list for the next day just before going to bed. This will calm your thoughts and avoid fixed ideas.
#2. Pay attention to your evening meal.
Make sure to eat light at dinner and, above all, wait at least two hours before going to bed. Your diet has a real impact on your quality of sleep. Furthermore, lying down significantly slows down your digestion process, leading to numerous discomforts.
#3. Develop good teleworking habits.
We've said it before, and we can't say it enough: don't sleep where you work! Not only will it significantly reduce your productivity in the morning, but your brain will no longer be able to differentiate between when you're working and when you need to slow down to fall asleep.
#4. Train your brain.
On the same note, if you ever experience insomnia or simply can't fall asleep, get up! If you get into the habit of staying in bed, your brain will quickly associate being awake with your bed, and this should be avoided. It's best to get out of bed, read, write, or do 10 minutes of yoga, then return to your bed to try the experience again!
#5. Bye bye blue lights.
Put down your screens before bed. We know it's not the easiest thing to do, but trust us, it's for your own good! The blue light emitted by our phones and computers disrupts the secretion of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Replace your 30 minutes of screen time with 30 minutes of reading every day! +1 for your sleep, +1 for your culture, and 1 KO for your insomnia.
#6. Listen to your sleep cues.
Heavy eyelids, yawning, tingling... Listen to your body! It knows how to give you the best clues to respect your sleep cycle. If you miss the mark, you risk having much more difficulty falling asleep.
With all these tips combined, you should improve your quality of sleep and gain productivity the next day!
SLEEP BETTER. DREAM BIGGER.
