From this article it confirmed that I knew to avoid caffeine and to work out in the morning to ensure a better night of sleep. One new thing I learned was to Embrace the Darkness. "Science tells us that how light or dark a room is at bedtime matters. Studies show that light can delay the production of melatonin, a chemical in the body that anticipates the daily onset of darkness. Another study by scientists at the University of Granada also found that sleeping in pitch black is important for the metabolism." One new thing I learned and want to explore is being aware of cold feet. So many I got to bed with freezing feet and I had no idea it was affecting my quality of sleep.
Hey Madee,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I could only imagine what I could accomplish if I could do all of these things. One of the biggest things for me is getting to sleep. Often times, I will be in bed but stay up on my phone or watching tv for hours. I really need to kick that bad habit. Hopefully I can make tonight a good starting point. Hope you have a great rest of the semester.
