Major Habits To Kick For A Good Night's Sleep

Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold

Sometimes the reason it's too hard for individuals to fall asleep or stay asleep is they are actually too warm or too cold. It turns out there really is an optimum sleep temperature: the air in the bedroom should be about sixty-three degrees Fahrenheit, (seventeen degrees Celsius). This temperature prevents the sleeper from overheating in summer and also prevents the temperatures from dipping too low in winter. It's easy to throw on more blankets if necessary. Turn the thermostat down, get under the blankets, and get some quality shut-eye.

Ditch Alcoholic Drinks After Dinner

After dinner drinks with friends may be fine some of the time, but when sleep is an issue, it shouldn't be a habit. Just like with sweet drinks and caffeinated drinks, consuming alcoholic drinks close to bedtime can be related to problematic sleep patterns. This is especially true for individuals who enjoy sweet mixed drinks, as the sugar in the drink can act as a stimulant, while the alcohol can act as a depressant. This makes it hard for the body to understand what it should be doing. As much as possible, individuals should avoid drinking alcohol within two to four hours from their planned bedtime.
