Getting a good night’s sleep is critical for both physical and mental health. There are many factors that impact the way we sleep and our quality of rest. Here are some things to consider to make sure that you are as well-rested as you can be!

Mattresses and pillows – Investing in a comfortable mattress and pillow can help ensure a good night’s sleep. Look for a mattress that provides adequate support and comfort and choose a pillow that promotes proper spinal alignment.

White noise machines – White noise machines can help mask disruptive sounds and create a peaceful, calming environment for sleep.

Essential oils – Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and valerian root can promote relaxation and help improve sleep quality.

Sleep-promoting teas – Herbal teas such as chamomile, valerian root, and passionflower can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

Weighted blankets – Weighted blankets have been shown to promote a sense of comfort and security, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. It’s no surprise that these have boosted in popularity over the last few years!

Meditation and yoga – Meditation and yoga practices can help promote relaxation and reduce stress, making it easier to fall and stay asleep.

Sleep-promoting apps – There are numerous apps available that can help promote sleep, including guided meditations, white noise generators, and sleep tracking tools.

Darkness and temperature – Keeping your sleeping environment dark and cool can help improve sleep quality. Use heavy curtains or blackout shades to block light and consider using a fan or air conditioning to regulate temperature.

Avoid screens before bedtime – This is one we are all guilty of. The blue light emitted by screens such as smartphones, computers, and televisions can interfere with sleep, so it’s best to avoid them for at least an hour before bedtime. Charge your phone overnight in another room, and invest in an old-school alarm clock if you rely on your phone to wake you up each morning.

Establish a bedtime routine – Establishing a bedtime routine can help signal to the brain that it’s time to wind down and prepare for sleep. This might include activities such as reading, meditation, or stretching. 

By being more mindful of the products you use and incorporating some of these practises into your bedtime routine, you can help promote better sleep and improve your overall health and well-being. Remember, the key to getting a good night’s sleep is consistency, so be sure to establish a bedtime routine that works for you and stick to it every night.
