Simple Tips to Give You a Better Night’s Sleep Giving yourself the opportunity for a good night’s sleep can leave you feeling energized when you wake.
Screeching cars. Ringing cell phones. Email accounts full of junk mail. We are living in a world of ever increasing technology. And even though speed is the motivation behind most of it, we are finding ourselves with fewer minutes each passing day. So, which activity usually gets cut first? – Our Sleep. Currently, there are between 80 and 100 million Americans who suffer from some type of insomnia.
Sleep deprivation can lead to a host of mental and health issues, costing the U.S. economy billions each year in accident, productivity loss and healthcare related costs. In order to ensure you are receiving the best sleep possible each night, try these helpful tips: - Limit your caffeine intake during the day. Too much caffeine during your daylight hours can carry over to your midnight hours. It can cause you to fall asleep slower and toss and turn or wake up in the middle of the night. Determine which foods, beverages, and even medications may be affecting your sleep and adjust accordingly.
- Increase your daytime activity. If you become more active during the day, your body’s excess energy will be spent and you will receive a better nights rest. Try not to work out right before bed though. Most people become more alert right after a workout.
- Try blackout fabric shades. Create a sleep environment that is cool, quiet, and dark. Manage these environmental factors easily by using blackout fabric shades. Energy efficient double cellular shades have a special lining that blocks out 99 percent of light. An optional side-track system can totally eliminate all light leaks, which is particularly important for people who sleep during the day or are sensitive to any morning light peeking around the shades. EcoSmart Shades ( ) offers a foil lined polyester double cell blackout shade with side tracks, that when lowered, keeps your bedroom cooler because the hot air is “trapped” both in the honeycomb cells and between the shade and the window. An extra benefit is that these shades can virtually pay for themselves in energy savings. Cellular blackout shades also absorb outside noise. By creating an environment that is dark, as well as quieter and cooler, you will set the stage for a peaceful night’s sleep.
- Shed those pounds. A medical condition known as sleep apnea, a disorder in which you actually stop breathing during sleep, affects many people who are more than twenty pounds overweight. People who suffer from sleep apnea do not rest, not matter how many hours they sleep.
