Struggling with disturbed sleep? It's more than just waking up tired the next day—it can seriously affect your emotional and physical well-being. Poor sleep impacts your memory, focus, and mood while increasing your risk of depression, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
The good news? Simple and natural remedies can help you sleep better and wake up refreshed.
I) Five tips for better sleep!
- Drink plenty of water - Skip the alcohol; it disturbs sleep and try one of these natural soothing drinks. Water, Warm milk, chamomile tea, and tart cherry juice are popularly recommended for those with sleep disorders.
- Warm Milk - Thought to contain molecules that mirror tryptophan's action on the brain, assist in serotonin synthesis, and help induce the sleep-wake transition.
- Chamomile tea - is full of flavonoids, may interact with brain receptors connected to relaxation, and can help you drift off naturally—plus, it is caffeine-free.
Start sipping your way to a healthier, more refreshing sleep!
II) Regular Physical Activity!
Regular physical activity can do wonders for your sleep. Aerobic exercise is shown to enhance deep, restorative slow-wave sleep.
However, timing is everything. Aerobic exercises stimulate the "feel-good" chemicals known as endorphins that keep you awake and energized, which is great for that morning run but not exactly what you want before bedtime. Exercise can also raise your core body temperature, signaling your body to wake up rather than wind down.
Avoid exercising within two hours before bed and enjoy the rewards of improved rest and recovery for better sleep!
Instead do breathing exercises with some aromatic candles!!!
III) Stay Cool for Better Sleep -
Optimal room temperature is very important to sleep peacefully. Experts say that your bedroom should be kept between 18°C and 22°C (65–72°F). Women going through menopause or hot flashes should keep the room as cool as possible and wear light cotton fabric so that they do not sweat at night.
For Indian summers, using ceiling fans, air conditioners, or coolers might be helpful to keep a sleep-friendly environment. The coolness of the night can make all the difference in improving the quality of sleep.
IV) Darkness for Deeper Sleep -
Light exposure, whether from your smartphone or the bathroom light, can disturb your sleep cycle. Although blue light from screens is a known disruptor of sleep, bright bathroom lights can also affect your ability to fall back asleep.
For bathroom visits at night, use a flashlight or dim nightlight to minimize visual disruption. Remember, if you do wake up, it's normal to take up to 30 minutes to drift back to sleep. Avoid turning on bright lights, and let your body ease into rest naturally for a more rejuvenating night.
Avoid using mobile or laptops before 1 hour to sleep better
V) Hot Oil Massage for Better Sleep -
Massaging the scalp and foot using warm oil such as coconut, almond, rose and sesame oil reduces one's stress and improves blood circulation thereby relaxing the mind, and making it easy to drift off to deeper sleep.
These self-care habits not only nourish your body but also create a soothing bedtime routine that supports restful and rejuvenating sleep.
