4 Tips For Getting An Even Better Night’s Sleep

“It's a beautiful day filled with promise and opportunity!” said the person who got a great night's sleep. But, for the person who did not get a great night's sleep, a brand new day can seem daunting and exhausting. Getting a miserable night's sleep affects everything we do. Getting a good night's sleep is crucial for living our best life.

Let's jump right into some great ways to entice a good night's sleep with a few solution-oriented ideas.

Safety First

Security, whether it be financial, familial, or home-based, is a vital piece of the relaxation puzzle. Uncertainties can disrupt our body's rhythm and promote anxiety, causing lesser quality sleep patterns. Reaching out to a professional financial institution, family-oriented organization or friend, or a security system like CPI or ADT can assist with addressing unnecessary stress. In turn, this can enhance a more secure feeling for a better night's sleep.

Help Yourself

Getting a good night's sleep means being mindful of personal routines. Keeping regular sleep hours can increase the quality of sleep cycles, which are needed to feel refreshed. Try to stick to a routine bedtime and rising time every day to regulate your body's rhythm. Use soothing music to encourage drowsiness and relaxation.

Aromatherapy is another pleasant avenue to take for calming the senses. Just mix your favorite comforting essential oil, such as lavender with water in a diffuser and place bedside. Its light scent will lull your body into a sweeter, more relaxed state. Taking CBD (also known as hemp oil) orally is also known to improve sleep ease and quality.

If you're suffering from joint pain or aches after a long day, consider relaxation techniques, you can try out magnetic healing, or get a nice soothing massage to help you recover. Being able to emotionally relax is important for helping you get the rest you and your body needs. If you suffer from crippling fear or worry and you don't know where it comes from, look into doing some therapy in order to resolve those fears. You can talk to a regular therapist to see if that helps but if not, research some unconventional therapies such as Past Life Regression Therapy that might be able to help give you some relief. What is Past Life Regression Therapy? It's a form of delving into past lives by means of hypnosis and resolving issues that your past lives had not resolved.

Cool Down

Body temperature plays a significant role in better sleeping habits. Room temperature also makes a difference, as it helps the body function appropriately for proper sleep. A room's desirable sleeping temperature should range between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. This range keeps rooms feeling less humid, less heavy, and comfortably cool. Controlling the temperature of our environment and our bodies when we sleep helps to maintain our body's natural temperature, assisting in more effective nighttime body processes and full-range sleep cycles.

Today's mattress and bedding technology companies also understand the benefits of keeping cool at night. Cotton sheets are wonderfully comfortable and do a reasonably good job keeping us cooler at night. But if cotton sheets aren't comfortable enough for you, you could also try sateen sheets which reduce nighttime movement friction, thus resulting in less heat.

Mattresses and mattress covers also have cooling options available. Some mattress covers adjust to body temperatures to help regulate overall sleeping conditions.

Choosing the right mattress firmness can help or hinder sleep quality. Depending on each person's physical conditions, there is much to be gained by talking with a professional about which firmness that is well-suited for the best sleeping condition.

Bed pillows also offer a wide range of cooler options. Double-layers and alternative pillow fillers are but two examples of how to sleep in cushy, cool comfort.

Hormones, Alcohol, and Heavy Meals

Taking care of our bodies is the most important step we can take for a better night's sleep. Substances such as alcohol and cigarettes alter our hormonal balance that controls sleep cycles. Heavy meals, unhealthy fats, higher starches, and spicier foods digest more slowly. This can promote nighttime problems such as acid reflux, upset stomach, and indigestion which interfere with sleep quality. In fact, if anything alcohol and sleep are not exactly friends. According to the Recovery Village, getting enough sleep is going to be important for your mind and your body, especially when trying to overcome any kind of addiction. The benefits will also include better memory, better attention, less fatigue, and reduced stress.

Relaxation doesn't always happen easily or quickly. Our body's energies are designed to rise and fall according to the rhythms of our environment and our personal body clocks. When neither is contributing to a restful night, it's time to make a few changes. With these handy ideas, sweet dreams are right around the corner.
