Establish a winddown period before bed from "summary" of Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson
One of the most effective ways to improve your sleep quality is by establishing a winddown period before bed. This means giving yourself some time to relax and unwind before actually getting into bed. During this winddown period, you can do activities that help signal to your body that it's time to sleep. This might include things like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation.
The key is to avoid stimulating activities that can interfere with your ability to fall asleep, such as watching TV or scrolling through your phone. These types of activities can actually disrupt your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it harder for you to get a good night's rest.
By taking the time to wind down before bed, you are essentially priming your body for sleep. This allows your body to transition from a state of alertness to one of relaxation, making it easier for you to drift off once you actually climb into bed.
So, if you find yourself struggling to fall asleep at night, try incorporating a winddown period into your bedtime routine. You may be surprised at how much of a difference it can make in improving the quality of your sleep.
