4 tips for a better night's sleep
Renew your energy with an improved night's sleep.
Your night's sleep is essential for getting energy for all the day's tasks. In addition, sleep affects the psyche, the immune system and memory - there are therefore many good arguments for prioritizing a good night's sleep.
Here are 4 tips on how to improve your night's sleep:
1. Air out
The right environment for sleep consists of fresh air and a room that is not too hot. It is recommended that the temperature is between 18 and 21 degrees. In addition, you should air out the bedroom – open the window for 10 minutes before going to bed, so that the air in the bedroom is completely fresh when you go to sleep.
2. Choose your duvet, pillow and bedding carefully
You spend a third of your life in bed, so it pays to invest in your sleep. You should therefore choose the right duvet and pillow that suits your needs, so that you get the most out of your sleep. In addition, the bedding also has a big impact on the comfort of your sleep, and you should not compromise on this.
3. Avoid stimulants
It is important that you avoid disturbing stimuli before bedtime. For example, you should avoid stimuli from the light on your phone, TV, etc. The blue light from these devices signals to the brain that it is morning. This is basically because the brain associates the red color from the evening light with night and the blue color from the morning light with morning.
4. Maintain a regular circadian rhythm
A regular circadian rhythm is also essential for an optimal night's sleep. Try to establish a regular circadian rhythm as much as possible, so that you go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The amount of sleep needed varies from person to person, but it is recommended that you get 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
