Having trouble getting a good night’s rest?
The Daily Mail has ten tips to better sleep…call it a checklist if you will, from a study of over 2000 people:
- Make sure your bedroom is clean. You’ll sleep better if there’s less clutter.
- Put on fresh sheets.
- Set your thermostat to 61 degrees (the temperature the average person says they sleep best in).
- DON’T sleep naked…most said they sleep better in pajamas or a T-shirt and underwear.
- Make sure the room is totally dark…no lights and no TV.
- Get in bed at 10:39pm or whatever time works for you to give yourself enough time to fall asleep and still get 7 to 8 hours.
- Stop using your phone 37 minutes before you close your eyes.
- Read a few pages of a book…an actual book, not an eReader.
- Sleep on your right side with your legs curled up.
- If there’s someone else in bed with you, don’t spoon them. In fact, most people said they sleep better alone.
Not ALL of these will work for you, of course…so choose the ones that work best for you!
You may also try sticking one foot out of your covers…according to DollarShaveClub it actually works to regulate your temperature!
