The International Sleep Day is a major moment to raise public awareness about the importance of quality sleep in an increasingly stressful and busy world. So, today we offer you a selection of tips to improve your night and the proper functioning of your body.
• Maintain regular sleep schedules
• Moderate the consumption of stimulants: coffee, tea, energy drinks
• Prepare the bedroom by prioritizing silence and the absence of light
• Take a nap in the early afternoon
• Expose yourself to daylight in the morning to help regulate your biological clock
• Engage in physical activity away from bedtime
• Adopt a healthy and balanced diet by favoring vegetables and avoiding fatty and difficult-to-digest dishes in the evening before sleeping
• Disconnect screens one hour before sleeping (turn off smartphones and computers).
It should be noted that when you are sleep-deprived, the risks to mental and physical health are numerous: cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, headaches, eye or back pain, weakened immune system, memory and concentration disorders, anxiety, and depression.
