Build your bedThe new year is about more than just getting a new diary.
It is a chance for a fresh start, a chance to evaluate where you are in life, and a chance to make changes to lifestyle choices.
It is about taking a hold of those chances and deciding to do something about them for a better you this year..
It is hardly surprising that improving fitness and losing weight are at the top of the most popular new year’s resolutions. But many neglect the importance of better sleep, even though lack of sleep and poor sleep quality are linked with weight gain and low energy.
Sleep also affects our mental and physical health, which is why good sleep is classed as one of the pillars of health.
Studies have shown a significant link between irregular bedtime routine and poorer sleep quality. If you suffer from poor sleep or find it hard to fall asleep at night, perhaps it is time to take a closer look at your night-time routine and whether it could be the culprit for waking up tired in the morning.
Consistency is important when keeping a healthy bedtime routine. Adding calming rituals will also help you to fall asleep faster and sleep better.
Here are a few important points to take into account regarding your bedtime routine:
Sleep experts recommend avoiding blue light – light emitted by smartphones, laptops and electronic devices - before bedtime and switching them off two hours before bedtime. This is because blue light reduces melatonin production, a hormone which helps you relax.
If switching off early is not practical (or preferable), there are apps you can download on your phone or computer that will block blue light.
Avoid alcohol before bedtime as it can lead to disrupted sleep. Heavy late-night meals may also have an adverse effect on your sleep quality, but a lighter supper may help you sleep too – you’ll know what works best for you! However, cut the caffeine and swap to decaf after 3-4 pm.
A bedtime routine should most of all be relaxing. Reading a book, taking a soothing bath, listening to calming music, having a cleansing skincare routine, or even taking a few minutes to focus on breathing exercises or sleep meditation are excellent ways to prepare your body and mind for a good night’s sleep.
With one of Aspire’s luxurious headboards to lean on, you will want to cuddle up in bed for a book extra early!
Does your bedroom invite you in? Is it a place where you can relax? A bedroom should be a place of comfort and peacefulness. Clear the clutter in the daytime, keep the temperature warm but not hot, and use low lights as you prepare for bed. Lighting up essential oils such as lavender can help you ease into sleep.
