RE: This is how to improve your sleep
A few more tips:
- Light and darkness. Make sure your bedroom is dark when you fall asleep, but well lit when you're trying to wake up.
- Twilight (FLUX) - an app or software that can somewhat reduce the effect of LCD light on melatonin production.
- Less naps - Napping during the day might be fun, but keep it for the weekends. It'll mess up your sleep.
- You can't "make up" for missed sleep - don't live on 4 hours of sleep a night all week hoping that you can catch up over the weekend. That doesn't work.
- Stretches before and after sleep help reduce morning stiffness.
That's what works for me.
Good luck!
Thanks for these additional tips! They definitely help too. Some addition to the addition:
Buy & use "smart" light-bulbs where the temperature of the colour can be adjusted as per the time of the day.
E.g. Morning/Daytime: High temperature light (cold-white, 6000K and above) Evening/night: Low temperature light (warm-white light, 3000K and below), this makes our brain realize that sunset is due and rest-time is coming.
I also use sleep tracking with my fitness band synced with Sleep as Android to ensure the alarm never wakes me during a deep sleep cycle. I am a bit of a sleep nerd. I even use SleepPhones for relaxing sounds while I doze off.
