Tips for good night sleep for woman
One way to have good sleep is maintaining a routine, that is going to sleep and waking up early at the same time daily. It’s important to do this on weekdays and weekends as well.
A daily routine before sleeping acts as a signal for the body. The body becomes habituated to this sleep ritual and recognizes it well which helps them to fall asleep at the time. Sleep rituals include reading a book, listening to some soft music, having a warm non caffeine drink such as milk.
Watching television or drinking tea or coffee few hours before sleeping is not advisable as it might act as a brain stimulant and keep you away from sleeping.
Trying electric adjustable beds are good for people who are suffering from conditions like chronic pain, arthritis, physical disability, etc. These type of bed helps in easing the pain by providing better alignment to the body.
The room where you sleep must be totally dark. If possible draw the curtains and turn off as many lights as possible. You must also make sure that there is no noise to distract you.
If you have disturbed sleep which often wake you up in the middle of the night, try some meditation tasks or staring at a spot on the wall with your eyes open, rather than forcing yourself to fall asleep. Often this might have the opposite effect and you will fall asleep.
Hope these all tips helps you in maintaining good health by sleeping better at night.
