The key to having a restful night is to have a healthy routine before you hit the bed and call it a day. And having a better quality of sleep results in being more productive the following day.

We understand that sometimes it is hard to stick or come up with a routine but it is going to be worth it, we promise!

Where to get started?

Monitor your pre-bed diet

It is helpful to monitor the kind of food you eat, especially a few hours before you sleep. Try to avoid foods that are high in sugar and starches.

Adopt a bedtime routine

You can start having pre-bedtime activities that could help send a signal to your body that you are about to relax and sleep. Try reading a chapter of your favorite book, writing about your day, having a warm bath, or listening to calming music.

Meditate

Being in a mindful state helps reduce stress and can help make you be calm. This is a great way to allow yourself to rest and relax before sleeping.

Stay away from gadgets

It is recommended to refrain from checking your phone or any gadgets at least 20 minutes before you go to sleep. You can turn it off, put it in silent mode or just turn off your notifications. Having interrupted sleep because of notifications can also affect your sleep-wake pattern.

Try and be consistent

Creating a new routine can sometimes be harder than it seems. But, hey, there is no harm in trying! You can take small steps and just try to be consistent for you to get used to your new routine.
