Get More ZZZ's with These 6 Tips
Tired of waking up tired? Here are 6 tips that can help you catch more ZZZs.
Prep the night before. Pre-program the coffee, pick out your clothes and set an alarm. That way, you can wake up and start your day without stressing.
Turn off all electronics 90 min before bed. The bright light from your cell phone can delay your sleep. Instead of scrolling Instagram, pick up a book, try meditating or listen to relaxing music instead.
Set a routine. Have a regular wake-up time (this includes weekends)! Your body’s internal clock loves routine and this sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Don’t press snooze. Hitting snooze disrupts your body’s natural wake up routine. The more you snooze, the more confused your brain and body get. Instead of hitting snooze, try and set a routine that includes 8 hours of sleep.
Get moving. A morning workout can help you feel energized and prepared for the day. Studies show participants who exercised at 7 a.m. experienced deeper, longer sleep than those who got in a workout in the afternoon or evening.
Get a massage. It’s no secret that massage can help you relax. Did you know massage can also improve sleep, ease stress and help rejuvenate your body. A monthly massage allows you to feel the benefits regularly.
