Minimize use of electronics, both during the day and in the evening
Electronic screens are major sleep thieves, robbing you of the ability to fall asleep quickly.
Sleep Hacks
Avoid watching TV right before bed
It’s too stimulating to the brain, preventing you from falling asleep quickly. TV disrupts your pineal gland function.
Put your work away at least one hour before bed (preferably two hours or more)
This will give your mind a chance to unwind so you can go to sleep feeling calm, not hyped up or anxious about tomorrow’s deadlines.
Wear socks to bed
At least one study has shown that wearing socks to bed reduces night waking. As an alternative, you could place a hot water bottle near your feet at night.
Take a sauna followed by cold immersion in an unheated pool or shower, two to three hours before bed
This combination helps activate your parasympatethic nervous system to induce relaxation, allowing for sounder, deeper sleep.
