In this post we’ll be discussing the importance of managing sleep, and how you can improve sleep to improve your mental health.
DID YOU KNOW: Almost 36% of UK Adults struggle to sleep at least once per week?
There are many factors that can influence a good night’s sleep, some easier to control than others — from work stress to physical injury & illnesses. It’s no wonder that quality sleep is sometimes elusive.
There is a strong link between sleep and health. Lack of quality sleep is usually a common indication of stress, led by underlying problems such as anxiety or depression.
Managing sleep and potential sleep disorders is a critical feature of keeping your mental health in check & it’s majorly important to prioritise sleep.
Managing sleep can:
– Boost your immune system to battle any illnesses
– Prevent weight fluctuations by balancing hormones
– Strengthen heart health & reduce blood pressure
– Improve your mood
– Increase productivity & concentration
– Promote higher exercise performance
– Improve cognitive function & memory
Whilst the benefits of sleep are seemingly endless, it’s easy to let lifestyle choices drastically dictate your sleep cycles & more importantly, your mental health.
Despite this, it may only take small changes to attitude & lifestyle in order to help us sleep better. Here are some top tips it’s worth trying to manage your sleep more effectively:
Tip 1: Maintain Regular Sleeping Hours
It’s important to train your body to respond to regular sleeping patterns. This programmes the brain and internal body clock to get used to a set routine.
It’s recommended to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. By working out what time you need to wake up, you can set a regular bedtime schedule.
Tip 2: Wind Down Before Sleeping
Allow your brain & body some time to relax before trying to sleep. This could be through avoiding the use of smartphones & tablets, and instead reading a book or practising some relaxation exercises such as Yoga.
Tip 3: Manage Your Diet
Avoid high energy meals & drinks in the evening. Caffeine heavy drinks such as Coffee and heavy meat or carbohydrate filled meals can usually lead to discomfort whilst trying to sleep.
Tip 4: Try Syrenity Water Emulsion
