Lifestyle: How To Get A Good Night's Rest In Six Easy Steps
March is 'Sleep Awareness Month' and we're already halfway through it, so we decided to put together some quick tips to help you sleep better, which is essential for good health.
Let's begin:
1. Establish a schedule to rest and rise. And stick to it!
2. Create a warm, cozy and comfortable sleeping environment.
3. Exercise 150 minutes a week to sleep significantly better.
4. Create a nighttime ritual to prepare your mind for rest.
5. Skip the booze - it may disrupt the sleep cycle.
6. Put the electronics down - screens emit blue light that can keep you awake.
Not too hard, right? Now let's look at how much sleep one needs depending on their age:
1-2 years: 11-14 hours
3-5 years: 10-13 hours
6-12 years: 9-12 hours
13-18 years: 8-10 hours
18-54 years: 7-9 hours
65+ years: 7-8 hours
What are the benefits of a good night's rest? Don't worry, we have that covered:
Better Health
Sleep gives your body a chance to heal, strengthens immunity and lowers risk for many health concerns.
Better Memory and Focus
Your brain processes and stores memories while you sleep.
More Productivity
Productivity declines when your mind and body aren't at their best.
Healthier Relationships
Since sleep affects mood and judgment, it also affects our relationships.
Better Food Choices
You're more likely to reach for sugary, processed foods when you're tired.
