Make big difference to sleeping habits with small thingsIn today’s busy times, most of us suffer from sleep disturbances. Stress, excess workload, and hectic schedules are just a few factors contributing to sleep disturbances and the earlier we make changes to our lifestyle, the better.

Small measures such as taking a hot milky drink, a bath, switching off the computer, listening to soothing music, and meditation can considerably improve quality of sleep besides helping us in realizing our dreams with added zeal and power.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Experts say the surroundings could be rearranged to create an atmosphere more suited to sleep. Sleeping with the television on should be avoided as the waves disrupt sleep patterns.

To sleep well, there needs to be a fractional temperature difference between our body and our brain, a warm body and a cool head. If a person prepares for sleep well before midnight (between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.), he stands a much better chance of getting a good sleep.

Vital deep sleep occurs an hour or so after a person drops off. So one can optimise the quality of this initial stage by going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Experts also say that one should have breakfast within half-an-hour of waking. This not only stimulates body metabolism, but when one eats a healthy breakfast, the person starts to create the perfect internal chemistry for optimal sleep.

It is always good to keep a gap of 90 minutes between eating dinner and going to bed. A heavy meal late in the evening disrupts sleep pattern.

In addition to that, we can even emphasize upon exercises for half an hour so that the body can get relaxed, breathing is improved, body appearance gets better, and sleep is induced.
