10 bad sleeping habits and how to eliminate them

Face Down: If you face breathing difficulties while sleeping face down, then I suggest that you not do it as you will keep waking up.

Pets: No pets in your bed together with you. We love cats and dogs just as much as the next person, but it is a fact of life that animals carry the usual army of dust mites and shed their hair in copious amounts, all of which could be potentially harmful to you.

Make Up: For the ladies, I am sure most of you remove your make up prior to sleeping. Apart from avoiding dark circles around your eyes, as well as dermatitis. It is not worth it, even if you are dog tired.

Curling Up: Curling up while sleeping is not good for your back as this can result in back pain. Sleeping flat out on your back is the most ideal way. You can place a pillow under your knees to flex your lower back.

Airconditioning: Since you are in a deep sleep, a cold bedroom would naturally make you curl up in a bad posture. Set a good temperature that you are comfortable with before you hit the sheets. You may even set the timer to turn off the airconditioning at a certain in the morning when the room temperature is at its coldest to moderate the temperature.

Flowers: For allergy sufferers, having flowers in your bedroom could potentially set off allergy attacks. Sunflowers are the most notorious.

Disinfectants: Avoid cleaning your room with chemical agents such as disinfectants just before you sleep, or at least give your room a good airing. You would not want to breathe in all those chemicals during your sleep.

Paints: Ditto for sleeping in a freshly painted room. Give your room some fresh ventilation for 2-3 days before you stated sleeping in it.

Sleeping Hours: Oversleeping is as bad as insufficient sleep. You tend to feel lethargic should you oversleep, including afternoon naps. Personally I sleep between 7-8 hours, which means if I turn in early I also wake up early.
