OK, so we’ve established that sleep is necessary for good health. Let’s explore some simple sleep hacks for a better night’s rest
Better sleep starts with good habits.
Set a consistent bedtime, aiming to get at least 8 hours a night. More if you can. Your body loves routine, so aim for the same time every night.
Keep your room cool, dark & quiet – Ideal temp: 16–19°C. This is said to emulate the cave-like conditions humans adapted to!
Avoid caffeine in the afternoon/evening. This is individual. I know some people who seem to tolerate caffeine much better, but it’s best to avoid it in the afternoon if sleep is a problem.
No screens before bed – blue light blocks melatonin – the hormone we need to get a long, restful night sleep.
Try relaxation techniques – reading (though probably not true crime), stretching, or breathing exercises to help you wind down (and lower cortisol) before bedtime.
Limit alcohol and heavy meals late at night – the energy required to digest the food and detox from booze will disrupt deep sleep.
Endermologie is proven to reduce stress and improve sleep. Book in for the VSS protocol (vitality, stress & sleep).
