Sleep is essential for health and well-being. For many of us, this is easier said than done, especially in these anxious times. Have you ever wondered if your sleep problems aren't the result of bad habits? More often the lack of sleep is the result of significant stress, a daily rhythm that is too sustained or a poor lifestyle. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or waking up during the night, following these three tips will effectively combat lack of sleep.

Adopt a healthy lifestyle

Having a healthy lifestyle is key to having a good sleep. Practicing regular physical activity during the day helps relieve stress. Just going for a walk for about 30 minutes a day, avoiding the elevator or getting off a subway stop sooner will improve your mental state. Food is also very important, especially at dinner, where we advise you to prepare light dishes that will facilitate digestion and eat dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed. Other important factors to avoid are stimulants such as cigarettes, alcohol or caffeine, at least after noon. And finally, avoid all kinds of screens: computers, televisions, smartphones... The brightness and light they emit interrupt sleep.

learn to relax

If relaxation is essential to prevent states of anxiety related to stress, it also helps to fall asleep. Relaxation is a much simpler and more accessible practice than we usually think. To get started, just do some simple breathing exercises. Lie on your back on your bed, arms along your body. Exhale and inhale several times, focusing on your breath. Without forcing, try to lengthen the breathing cycles. It is about reaching what is called controlled breathing, you will see how it will lead you to a deep relaxation that will help you fall asleep. On the other hand, contrary to what one may think, going to bed very early is not always the solution. What is very important is to keep regular schedules and learn to go to bed as soon as you feel tired, and if possible, at a specific and constant time. This is the best way to respect your sleep cycle and wake up on the right foot.

Take care and purify the environment of your bedroom

The environment of your bedroom is essential to combat the difficulty in finding sleep and insomnia. Your room has to be a cozy place in which you feel comfortable, which promotes comfort and relaxation. It is important that you keep the temperature in your bedroom around 20 degrees. Do not hesitate to invest in a good bed and quality pillows suitable for your type of sleep. Also remember to open the windows for at least 15 minutes a day or twice a day to renew the air, which is increasingly polluted by all the chemical products, detergents and paints or other varnishes that our furniture has. Whenever you can, clean your room and your bedding with natural products.
