What's every high schooler's favorite thing to do? What does every high schooler not get enough of? The answer to both of these questions is the same thing: sleep! Sleeping is the way your body recovers and rests from the crazy day it just got through. So, without sleeping, how is your body supposed to rest and get ready for the next day? Having a good night's sleep is so much more important than people think. Here are 7 healthy habits that everyone should do before sleeping to get the best sleep you've ever had!
1. Having a sleep schedule.
Setting a sleep schedule is extremely important for your body's circadian rhythm and your sleep cycle. Your body is not a machine and requires consistent care and attention. Having a sleep schedule will help prevent irregular sleep patterns and will only be better for your body. It'll make it easier for your body to get the proper rest it needs.
2. Exercise daily.
Exercising is your body's way to of staying healthy and fit. Getting at least one hour of exercise daily will let your body cool down and burn some calories. It'll also aid in your sleeping pattern because exercising will tire your body out which makes sleeping easier.
3. Avoiding bright light.
Avoiding bright light will help your circadian rhythm in your body know that it's time to sleep. If you have an interaction with a light while attempting to sleep, it will mislead your body to thinking that it's time to wake up and in turn, make it harder to sleep.
4. Avoid heavy meals for dinner
Avoiding eating too much for dinner because your stomach needs time to digest everything. This will disrupt your sleeping schedule so eat something healthy and simple for dinner to help your body sleep.
5. Reduce fluid intake before bed.
Drinking water before bed would increase your chances of needing to use the restroom in the middle of the night, which would disturb your sleep cycle and make it hard to go back to sleep again.
6. Eat an early dinner.
This is extremely important because eating an early dinner will give your body time to digest your food. Eating simple and early is best for your body.
7. Take a relaxing shower.
Showers will allow your mind to relax and forget all your worries and stress. This is also helpful before sleeping since sleeping with an empty mind is the best way to sleep peacefully.
