You don't need experts to tell you that good sleep influences your wellbeing, right?
.
You are familiar with the grogginess that comes with a bad night of sleep.
.
You know exactly how many coffees you will need to overcome a night of overthinking, dreading doubts, grudge-holding, and ceiling staring.
.
You are also painfully aware that you are not the most lovable you if you don't get enough sleep. Your patience is super thin, and you cross your fingers that everything else goes smoothly in your day.

Here 7 simple tips to implement to help you get there!
.
.
1 - 𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎: sleeping in a cooler room helps the body embracing the natural rhythm of wake/sleep, and also improves the melatonin levels (the sleep hormone)
.
.
2 - 𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓: you can experience the best rest when your body is not busy digesting your last meal. Ideally, you should have your dinner 3-4 hours before bedtime
.
.
3 - 𝑫𝒐 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚: if you get to bed with an excess of energy in your body you will most likely feel restless and experience difficulties calming down. If you have an adequate amount of exercise, you have better chances of falling asleep quicker and sleep deeper (did you know that if you have too much energy in the body, you are more prone to move into overthinking and become emotional?)
.
.
4 - 𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕 𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒅: not being around bright lights will help to fall asleep more easily, and it will also help you not getting into the "only one more video" trap
.
.
5 - 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚: super simple exercise, that you can do on a notepad or just in your mind before closing your eyes to set a positive tone to your sleep.
.
.
6 - 𝒅𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒔: when we breathe deeply, we are able to reduce the heartbeat rate and the body will automatically relax
.
.

7 - 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆: doesn't have to be complicated but an evening routine allows you to create the time and space to physically and mentally decompress after a long day, and it will help you settle for the night quicker.

Yo, good sleep is cool!
