The importance of sleep cannot be stressed enough. It helps with muscle recovery, fatigue, keeps our brain functioning properly and helps with emotion regulation. A person needs about 7-8 hours of sleep to function properly. Here are some ways to get better sleep to wake up refreshed in your new home at Lentor Signature and get a productivity boost.
Cut Back on Caffeine
Caffeinated drinks may be the reason you are getting poor sleep. When consuming caffeine, the adenosine sensors in our body are blocked out. The adenosine does not disappear when you consume coffee or energy drinks, it just gets blocked out until the caffeine wears off. If you need coffee during the day it is advised to consume it before lunch to prevent it from affecting your sleep.
Room Adjustments
Black out curtains and aircons or fans in your room can help with sleep. Air conditioners and blackout curtains help with the sleep wake cycle of our body, with the curtains signaling to our body that it is time to sleep by sustaining your melatonin levels and fewer disruptions, while the AC contributes to lowering our body temperature to help us sleep faster.
No Gadgets
A few minutes before bed, do everything you have to do on your phone or laptop, including work or personal matters to ensure that you will be sleeping with no backburners in your mind. Having a gadget in your room could also tempt you to doomscroll for hours on end until very late at night.
No Heavy Meals before Bed
Heavy meals before going to bed can affect your sleep because your digestive system is active, and at the same time your body is attempting to lower its temperature. You could get heartburn or acid reflux when you lie down right after and your body’s digestive process becomes slower. It would be best to eat 3 hours before going to bed for proper digestion and do not lie down.
