Sleep Improvement

About Sleep Improvement

If you are experiencing sleep difficulties or bad sleeping habits, you are not alone. More than fifty percent of adults report the problem of sleep apnea. Some of the common sleep difficulties include trouble falling asleep, sleeping too much, and waking up in the night. Inadequate amount of sleep can lead to several problems. Some of them are:

• Decrease ability to concentrate

• Increase moodiness

• Decrease the retention of new information.

• Challenge your ability to manage stress

Above-mentioned are costly reasons for ignoring sleep problems or bad sleep habits. Although changing sleeping patterns is not that easy, it requires a lot of time so you need to be patient and does not give up!

Why a proper need is required?

Many people think that they get adequate sleep, but really aren’t getting the same. Getting the right amount of sleep is as important as you need the right quality and quantity of food as an individual. It doesn’t mean that how many hours of sleep you are taking, but it is more important how you are feeling and how well you are performing during the day after your sleep.

The need of every individual for sleep usually varies as it depends on a number of external factors such as mood and mood. Some people need mere 6 hours of sleep and some needs even less than that, but others may require up to 8 - 9 hours to feel awake, fresh, and to function at their best on the next day. Not only this, quality sleep needs proper exercise and nutrition, regular sleep schedules, and is as important as the hours of sleep.

How can good sleeping habits improve your sleep?

One of the best ways to improve your sleep pattern is to change your lifestyle, routine activities and try to live in an environment and schedule that promotes sleep. Many sleep experts introduced a stimulus control technique which help you deal with the problem of insomnia. The technique involves a number of sleeping instructions and habits. The main objective of the stimulus control technique is to quickly fall asleep and stay asleep.

These objectives can be achieved by:

• Set and strengthen your mind’s connection with your bed and bedroom as a place for sleep

• Avoid certain activities that might interfere with your sleep such as studying, watching TV, eating, and more.

• Developing a reliable sleep schedule.

Falling asleep is something that your body allows you to do. It is not an activity that you have to do forcefully. You daily need to remind yourself by what time you have to fall asleep, and also the time at which you want to awake. Many individuals also need to awake themselves within minutes of the designated time, if they are sleeping continuously.

If you are experiencing problems with sleep, and you need to follow the instructions provided by sleep improvement counselors. This will help you experience some improvement in your sleep patterns.

Additional Tips for Improving Sleep

1. Lay down on your bed at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleeping to relax your body.

2. Reduce the intake of caffeine and tobacco in the day.

3. Avoid alcohol before going to bed. While a glass of wine or a beer may be helpful to feel sleepy for some individuals, excessive alcohol may also interrupt your sleep throughout the night.

4. Exercise late in the afternoon or early evening can help, but do not do any major exercise 2 hours before going to bed.

5. Relax before bed. A warm shower or bath, light stretching, or any other activity that make your body relax, may be helpful.
