Tip 10 ESSENTIAL HOW-TO SLEEP TIPS Hey everyone, me again. Today I’m here to share 7 tips for a deep, blissed-out sleep So why am I even talking about sleep when it’s something our bodies do naturally?... Well, the truth is that sleep is not something that just happens ...unless you are a teenager! Even babies need to learn to fall asleep and sleep well. What’s important about getting a good sleep? Good sleep is vital for good health. Sleep deprivation can lead to a multitude of health issues; It escalates the hunger hormone called ghrelin, which increases food cravings It escalates the stress hormone called cortisol, which can cause weight gain, diabetes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, depression, osteoporosis and depressed immunity. It causes elevated blood pressure in people with hypertension, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke. Learning how to improve your sleep is not a luxury it’s a necessity How to get better sleep .. Follow these 7 steps and rest assured (excuse the pun) that you will feel more rejuvenated and energized than you even knew possible: 1. Practice regular sleep rhythms by going bed and waking up around the same time each day 2. Create total quiet and darkness in your bedroom 3. Avoid caffeine or reduce your intake after noon as it affects your sleep dramatically 4. Get regular exposure to daylight for at least 20 minutes a day because the sunlight triggers your brain to release melatonin, which is vital for healthy sleep 5. Eat no later than two hours before you go to bed because eating a heavy meal before bedtime will impede your body’s natural overnight detoxification process 6. Write down your worried thoughts before bedtime so you can free your mind and drop into a deep restful sleep. 7. Take a hot salt or aromatherapy bath because raising the body temperature before bed helps to induce sleep. In my practice, I help my clients implement these 7 tips and more so they can make the most of their sleep and their health.
