SIMPLE TIPS TO ENJOY A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP

The inability of many Nigerians to get the recommended amount of sleep daily which is about 7-9 hours every night is increasingly becoming a problem as this often leads to road accidents from drivers feeling tired or sleeping while behind the wheels and even other health related issues like obesity and heart diseases.

Even when many people commit to going to bed early and doing every other thing right, they still are not able to get a good night sleep and end up feeling even more tired in the morning instead of refreshed. This unfortunate outcome can be as a result of many things like lack of comfort, bad sleeping positions and the individuals environment.

So if you fall into any of these categories or fit the descriptions, then you need to read this post to the end because in this post, we will be evaluating some simple tips one can apply to enjoy a good night sleep.

HOW COMFORTABLE IS YOUR BED?

Getting a good bed shouldn't be something one does on impluse or because of how beautiful a bed looks, instead it is always recommended that one should always reaserch or even seek professional advices when getting a new bed. The bed you sleep on has a very big influence on how comfortable your sleeps are, hence you should always consider some things like your sleeping positions before you get a bed.

Allow me to explain what i mean; A very firm mattress is always recommended for people who sleep on their back or stomach as this will help prevent back pain. A Memory Latex Foam is always recommended for people who sleep on their sides as this helps keep the pressure points equally supported. And a Topper Mattress is always recommended for those who already have shoulder and upper back pain since it will provide pressure relief to the areas affected.

WHY DARKNESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD SLEEP

Your body's circadian rhythms helps you feel dizzy when you are in a dark room and that is why darkness is essentail for good sleep. Again, the lights in the room makes the room warm and some times hot which isn't good because your body needs a cold or a cool temperature to fall deeply asleep. Again, the lights can be distracting to the sense as you are forced to focus on your surrounding making it harder to fall asleep.

If light is entering your room from outside or from another room, all you need to do is get darker curtains to block out the light rays. If you sleep with someone who doesn't like the light turned off at night, you can sleeply get the eyes mask and wear them before you sleep which many people do.

SILENCE IS ALSO IMPORTANT

It is also important that you make your sleeping environment as quiet as possible. This helps you to sleep deeply and not wake up every now and then because of noise. I understand that some people really love sleeping with soft slow music at the background while others can't sleep without light due to fear, but if these things are depriving you of a good night rest, then it is time to try to make changes and try something different.
