How to get a Good Sleep

Sleep is very important to all living beings as it refreshes our mind and body. Without sleeping we cannot do any work properly, we also become restless which can lead us to anger and irritability. 

Everybody loves a good and sound sleep with no interruptions. But with time, our work and technology has grown so much that we are still awake after midnight. Waking up till late disturbs our sleep schedule and due to this, our other day is also not productive.

There are many ways by which we can easily get a good and sound sleep. They are:

1. Eliminate Noise/Sounds:

We can get a sound sleep when there is no sound/noise. When there is any sound or noise, let’s say, music is playing, it becomes impossible for us to sleep as our mind diverts towards the sound which doesn’t allow our mind to sleep/take rest.

Sometimes a slow and little sound helps us fall asleep faster, for eg., the sound of rain.

2. Block Light:

When there is no light present in the room, it gives a rest or peace to our eyes, i.e., our eyes don’t have to strain to see something. The darkness allows eyes to rest, which helps in falling asleep. Also according to some research, if we sleep with lights on it can reduce the melatonin production in us.

3. Get a certain amount of Sleep:

We have heard from childhood that we should take 8 hours of sleep to keep ourselves fresh, which is true. If you are not able to get 8 hours of sleep, try getting at least 7 hours of sleep. As per some research, it has been proven that women need 9 hours of sleep and men need 8 hours of sleep because women take longer to fall asleep.

4. Take Small Naps:

If you are taking naps, make sure they are small because taking naps for too long might mess up your sleep schedule. 

5. Buy Soft Mattress:

Our safe and sound sleep also depends upon the type of mattress we are using. Some might like to use rigid mattresses and some soft. But as per the body, we should use a soft mattress as it releases the stress from the body and relaxes it.

Therefore, we should not compromise with our sleep as it helps us being productive and maintains our physical and mental well-being.
