6 good habits for good sleep

Do you spend hours staring at the ceiling turning between the sheets?

Has the moment you go to sleep become a real nightmare?

It has happened to anyone at least once to feel exhausted and yet unable to fall asleep. Nowadays, more and more Italians are suffering from insomnia, a disorder that could affect not only work or school performance, but also health.

Here are some simple tips that will help you sleep peacefully and wake up with the right energy.

Watchword: regularity.

The human body is a very habitual machine. Try going to bed and getting up at the same time every day in order to regulate your biological clock and optimize the quality of your sleep.

In fact, many studies claim that if we always go to bed at the same time, we will have much less trouble falling asleep because our body will get used to the regularity, saving us many hours of waking.

Avoid nicotine, alcohol and coffee before sleep.

We all know that coffee is the number one enemy of sleep, but did you know that it is also good to avoid alcohol and nicotine before bedtime?

Both are in fact excitatory substances that could interfere with your proper rest.

Best not have an heavy dinner.

Avoiding meals that are too heavy will help you rest better: too much protein and fat, in fact, could cause digestive problems and disturb your sleep.

It's best to eat at least three hours before bedtime to give our bodies plenty of time to digest dinner properly.

Take a warm bath.

There's nothing more relaxing than a warm bath: soft lights and lots of foam will help you get rid of the tension built up during the day, and you'll see that you'll fall asleep in no time!

Create the right environment.

Sleeping in a cluttered environment negatively affects the quality of your sleep.

Create a relaxing environment: air out the room and make it cool, dark and quiet, this way it will be impossible not to fall immediately into the arms of Morpheus.

Banish stress.

If you are having a particularly stressful time at work or school you will find it very difficult to fall asleep at night. Try to remove all possible sources of stress from the room: books, PCs, smartphones, etc. and make your room an oasis of relaxation.

Your brain will recognize your room as a place entirely dedicated to rest and you will be able to fall asleep much easier.
