Sometimes, sleep becomes a luxury for us. And it’s not always due to external irritants like the roaring cars on the street or neighbors who suddenly need to rearrange their living room at 2 AM. Sometimes, our frantic pace of life prevents us from enjoying such a simple pleasure as a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n
We hope that the life hacks we\u2019ve found will help you fall asleep more easily and finally get a good night’s rest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The habit of glancing at the clock has become a staple in our bedtime routine. However, watching the time or hearing the ticking of a clock can cause stress, hinder falling asleep, and reduce sleep quality.<\/p>\n
Before going to bed, it makes sense to remove clocks from your line of sight. You don’t even need to take them out of the room; just turn them so that the face is not visible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It may sound a bit crazy, but making your bed every morning increases your chances of a good night’s sleep. Scientists aren’t sure why, but perhaps a neatly made bed gives us a visual cue that our sleeping area is in order.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The smell of fresh, clean sheets can improve sleep quality. Ideally, you should wash them at least once a week. It’s best to use a medium or gentle drying cycle and add fabric softener. Pay special attention to pillowcases, as they absorb oils and sweat from your face.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we were children, our parents would read us a bedtime story, establishing a habitual action associated with going to sleep. Even in adulthood, a set of rituals can have a similar effect.<\/p>\n
These small habits signal to your body and mind that it’s time to sleep. You might drink a glass of warm milk, take a bath, listen to soothing music, or come up with your own routine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clutter in your room, even with a neatly made bed, can lead to sleep problems. Researchers have proven that people surrounded by mess are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders. What our eyes see when we enter the room can impact the process of falling asleep.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The monotonous hum of an air conditioner, fan, or even a prolonged rain can mask noises that wake us up, such as conversations, door slams, or the rumble of a car exhaust. You can also use special apps on your phone or computer that generate white noise.<\/p>\n
By the way, noise comes in different shades, all of which can help with falling asleep.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to a study, even the anticipation of checking email after work hours can cause anxiety and stress. Each new message represents another decision we need to make, keeping our minds active. Experts recommend being more mindful of your personal time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If attempts to fall asleep are unsuccessful, it’s advisable to distract yourself with something else for about 30 minutes, according to Michael Perlis, the director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
You can go to another room and engage in a relaxing activity, such as doing a small set of sleep exercises or reading. By the time you decide to return to bed, you’ll be greeted by the cool, comforting side of the pillow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When your feet are cold, it can be difficult to fall asleep, so some people may benefit from wearing socks at night. Choose thick and soft socks that can truly warm your feet. On the other hand, if you tend to feel too hot at night, try sleeping without any clothes. This can help calm your nervous system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Short and irregular daytime naps can help you feel refreshed. However, studies have shown that 5 minutes is too short to recharge.<\/p>\n
Napping for longer than 30 minutes can lead to decreased alertness and productivity immediately after waking up. Therefore, it’s best to take a daytime nap of around 10 minutes to wake up feeling refreshed, not groggy.<\/p>\n
