Better sleep leads to better health, and in 2023, it’s time to take sleep to the next level. Sleep affects our neurology, organ function, inflammation, performance, and overall daily life, making it essential for recovery. To get the best sleep possible, it’s important to follow a few dos and don’ts.
Here’s a quick rundown of what to avoid:
- Don’t use electronics in bed
- Don’t work in bed
- Don’t have late-night snacks
- Don’t use caffeine after 2 PM
- Don’t exercise close to bedtime
And here’s what to do instead:
- Develop a bedtime routine
- Keep the bedroom cool and quiet
- Write down tomorrow’s to-do list
- Keep a gratitude journal
Consider spinal adjustments and supplements such as melatonin and insomnitol.
In addition to these tips, it’s important to have a comfortable sleeping environment. Make sure your mattress is supportive and the room is dark and quiet. You may also consider using earplugs or a white noise machine if you live in a noisy area.
