Do you think you have a sleep disorder? Can you simply
float into a deep sleep as soon as you lay on your bed? Is tossing and turning
common during your sleep? It is not the quantity, but the quality of sleep that
should be considered. There are tons of people who spend more than 8 hours in
bed. However, most of them will be tossing and turning throughout the night.
Very few people fall off to a deep sleep that leaves them fresh and energetic
the next day. The reasons for this are many. Physical illness, mental tension,
inconvenient sleeping places, unhygienic eating habits etc are a few among the
many reasons for loss of proper sleep.
Here are a few important tips that will help you get some
high quality sleep every day.
Eat Healthy and Fresh
Careless intake of Food is mostly responsible for many
illnesses today. Junk food, fast food, ready to serve items etc are available
in plenty in the stores now. Overconsumption of such food items leads to
digestive problems that gradually turn into serious health disorders. When the
body is unfit, there is no question of even getting deep sleep. A balanced diet
with home-cooked meals, when consumed regularly, will keep your body healthy
and fresh. Include lots of fruits, vegetables, and fibre in your diet. You will
get a better sleep when your digestive system is functioning perfectly.
Physical Exercise
A physically fit body always harbours a happy mind. No
matter what issues are causing you to lose sleep, once your body is accustomed
to hard physical exercise, sleep creeps on as soon as you lay down to bed. Go
for a long walk, slow jog or fast run. Work out in the gym, practice yoga,
Zumba, Pilates or anything else that you find interesting. Swimming,
cycling, trekking -The options are wide and varied. Engage regularly in
physical activity and see what a difference it makes to your mental attitude.
You will no longer have the mindset to focus and dwell upon negative situations
or negative people. Physical activity energises not only the body but also the
mind. A day spent well will result in a good night's sleep.
Lots of Laughter and Me Time
The main reason why we fall ill is mental discomfort due to
stress. Our lives have become quite complicated these days. Relationship
issues, health problems, work-related stress, family issues and so many other
situations ruin our peace of mind. When one's mind is peaceful, sleep comes
easily. To create this peaceful mindset, you need some Me time. During this, do
not think about your problems over and over again. Remember that you have
created some time for yourself in order to forget stressful events and to
relax. Try out hearing music, for it has been proven to give good sleep, for
music has soothing effects. Join in group activities or talk to
like-minded friends so that you can enjoy this time. Lots of laughter and fun
activities will help to lighten the mood.
A Fixed Sleep Time
A routine with fixed timings and sleep habits is an
important factor that affects the quality of your sleep. Schedule your daily
tasks and make it a point to finish off all your duties such that you can go to
sleep at a fixed time. Make this a high priority deal with yourself. Say no to
gadgets an hour before bedtime and maintain a clutter-free, neat and tidy bedroom.
There is no point in spending late nights working when it
is affecting your health. Try some sleep meditation regularly. This will calm
your mind and help you relax. Once the mind is relaxed, falling asleep will no
longer be a main cause of concern. Always remember that as your body needs food,
air and water, deep sleep is also a much-needed ingredient for a healthy life.
