Reset Your Sleep Schedule in the Best Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Some people fall asleep the moment their heads hit their pillows. For the rest of us, sleep tends to be a more elusive prospect. In fact, sleeping disturbances are all too common, with around 70 million Americans experiencing insomnia or other issues. Sleep problems are especially common in those who work night shifts or inconsistent schedules, as our bodies prefer to rest and wake at the same times each day. However, your sleep schedule can also get off track because of seasonal changes, traveling across time zones, or even stressful experiences. 

While you might not be able to prevent your sleep schedule from getting off track in all situations, there are steps you can take to reset your internal clock. Keep reading for Pure Parima’s top tips on resetting your sleep schedule so you can get the rest you need to live life to the fullest.

Tips to Reset Your Sleep Schedule

Whether you’re fighting to fall asleep at night or struggling to get out of bed come morning, sleep disturbances can impact your ability to work, study, or enjoy life. Check out these tips for avoiding bad habits and resetting your sleep schedule.

Avoid Mid-Day Naps

If your sleep schedule is out of whack, you may be tempted to take a nap so you can make it through the day. However, napping is actually one of the worst things to do if you’re trying to reset your circadian rhythms. For best results, try to power through until the time when you usually go to bed.

Stop Sleeping Late on Weekends

Similarly, many of us who suffer from sleep disturbances try to make up for the dearth by sleeping in on weekends. If you really want to reset your sleep schedule though, it’s better to get up at the same time every day. If you use an alarm clock to wake up, avoid hitting the snooze button, as this just reinforces bad habits. The goal is to create a regular, predictable schedule so your body knows what to expect and can get back on track.

Don't Have a Big Meal Before Bed

What you do before bed can also have a profound effect on your ability to sleep. While you probably know not to drink coffee too close to bedtime, you might not realize that certain foods can also keep you up at night. In particular, spicy meals tend to cause heartburn and wakefulness. If you’re going to have a late-night snack, choose something mild that you know from experience agrees with you.

Skip the Stimulants

Like caffeine, other stimulants can prevent you from sleeping and waking at the correct times. Individuals with sleep issues may want to avoid alcohol, nicotine, and even dark chocolate in the hours before hitting the sack.

Build a Routine

Resetting your sleep schedule means telling your brain and body what to expect. If you’re struggling to fall asleep at the desired time, create a bedtime routine and strive to adhere to it every night. For example, you might want to take a hot shower or bath about an hour before you lie down to sleep. You can also put on some soothing music or listen to a meditation recording to relax. Finally, it’s a good idea to get in the habit of closing the blinds and turning on a white noise machine, as light and sound can interfere with your ability to rest.

Give Your Bed a Makeover

It’s hard to feel truly relaxed if you aren’t comfortable in your own bed. For a better night’s sleep, you can’t beat Egyptian cotton sheets. Durable and long lasting, Egyptian cotton is made from extra-long staple fibers that resist pilling and tearing. That means you don’t have to worry about your bedding scratching you or causing you to feel itchy in the night. For an extra-soft bedding choice, we recommend going with our Triple Luxe Sateen Sheets. The sateen weave feels like silk against the skin, which the highly breathable fabric will keep you from overheating. This set features a fashionable stripe pattern available in an array of colors, including Ocean, Gold, Arctic, Nickel, and Black. We’re confident you’ll be sleeping like a baby in no time.
