Tips for Getting a Good Night's Sleep

Cut Back on Caffeine

There’s nothing wrong with starting your day with a cup of coffee. However, if you’re regularly downing lattes or caffeinated sodas in the afternoon, you might start to suffer some sleep issues. According to medical experts, caffeine stays in your system for around five hours. If you’re experiencing insomnia or disturbed sleep, that after-dinner cup of Earl Gray could be to blame. 

Eat Dinner Earlier

Busy professionals often wind up pushing back dinnertime to accommodate evening activities, such as helping the kids with homework or walking the dog. Unfortunately, eating late can affect your ability to fall asleep. When you consume a heavy meal right before bed, you may have trouble sleeping as your body works extra hard to digest your food. Similarly, drinking too much late at night can result in extra bathroom visits. For best results, try to eat dinner a few hours before hitting the sheets and keep fluids to a minimum at night. 

Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule

With so many of us working from home now, sticking to a constant sleep schedule can be a challenge. Unfortunately, switching up your sleep schedule can negatively alter your body’s circadian rhythms. Studies have shown that individuals who go to bed later on the weekends than they do during the week wind up suffering from poor sleep. For best results, strive to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. 

Revamp Your Bedroom 

The place where you lay your head at night can have a profound effect on your quality of sleep. If you want to get more rest, start by ridding your bedroom of electronic items like phones, tablets, and TVs. Along with distracting you when you’re trying to sleep, the light from electronics can signal the brain that it’s daytime. Additionally, you can consider investing in blackout curtains to block the sun from streaming in first thing in the morning. 

Swap Out Your Mattress

When was the last time you bought a new mattress? According to sleep experts, you should strive to replace your mattress every five to eight years. Along with helping you sleep easier, the best mattresses protect your back. A recent study showed that individuals who bought new mattresses enjoyed 57 percent less back pain in the first month. 

Try Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Of course, a new mattress will only take you so far. To get the best night’s sleep, you also have to invest in quality bedding. Widely regarded as one of the best fabrics for sheets and duvets, Egyptian cotton has extra-long staple fibers, making it softer than the competition. Additionally, this material is known for its airflow. Cool and moisture-wicking, Egyptian cotton sheets are the ideal solution for hot sleepers and those who experience hot flashes.
