age-old remedy Turmeric milk is great for a good night’s rest. It’s super easy
to make this recepies and it is very effective too.
Start
with some milk. Milk has some natural sleep-dose incredient, that are amino acids as well as melatonin,
a hormone that regulates the sleep cycle.
And
add some almond powder to that milk which is highly nutritious. A couple of
cardamom balls. Some honey.
And
finally, the turmeric, which naturally makes you relaxing and promotes better
sleep.
Atlast add some pepper which helps the turmeric get absorbed better. The ideal potion for a comfortable slumber.
CLOTHES PLAY A VITAL ROLE
FOR YOUR SLEEP
Before going to bed, choose and prepare your clothes for the next day. Laying out your clothes will
not only save you time in the morning, it’ll allow you to make your outfit
choices thoughtfully, while you’re fully awake, as opposed to in the morning
when you’re half asleep.
Also, while you're waiting for the sleep fairy, you won't have to worry about what to wear.
SPEND YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FRIEND (GOOD BOOKS) BEFORE BED
Reading a book before bed is an excellent habit to develop. It relaxes your mind, reduces stress
and keeps you away from your screens.
It
doesn’t matter what you read as long as it's interesting to you! Reading is
known to boost your brain power, empathy and make you more creative.
To
quote Dr Suez’s, “You can find magic wherever you look, sit back & relax,
all you need is a book.”
HAVE A BATH BEFORE SLEEP
A warm shower before bedtime has been shown to aid in faster and better sleep. The warmth of the water causes your body to cool down, and is
especially relaxing for your hands and feet.
Studies
have shown that a lower body temperature makes it easier to doze off and leads
to better sleep.
So,
hop in the shower and wash away the stresses of the day!
JOURNAL YOU GAME OF THE DAY
Keeping a daily journal can help you collect your thoughts and organise your mind, potentially saving you from staying up all night worrying about a million things.
You don't have to write hours and pages; even a single sentence can help you reflect on your experiences and improve your memory.
Plus, ‘future you' will be grateful for the wealth of memories!
SLEEP SMART USING TECHNOLOGY
If
you want to be aware of how much and how well you are sleeping then there are a
slew of smart sleep tracking programmes available.
You can use an app or even a smart watch to track your sleep. In the long run, this can help you discover when changes in your life, such as beginning a new job, changing your exercise routine, or starting medication, are disrupting your sleep cycle.
So,
if you’re someone who loses sleep over sleep then this habit is a no-brainer. Hope
these simple habits help you turn bedtime into a peaceful affair, and get you
energised for a new day!

next time stay tuned and stay positive! and spread positive vibes
