Start every day with a good night's sleep!
Tips for a great sleep!
Most people already know about avoiding screens an hour before bed, a dark room, keeping pets out if they disturb your sleep, and winding down with some positive reading.
Sleep tracking studies have also shown that avoiding alcohol 5 hours before bed, avoiding food 3 hours before bed are also critical. Going to bed with a slight hunger pang is really beneficial for your sleep cycles!
The importance of sleep to overall enjoyment of life is obvious but its also been shown to increase how long you live!
Another thing that helps sleep cycles and is associated with longevity is having a sauna before bed. Of course not of these studies are from Finland and there may be confounding factors that contribute to this finding but sleep studies show that deep sleep is significantly improved when participants utilized a sauna.
Not many have access to a sauna at home but its possible that portable infrared saunas or hot baths may have similar effects.
Check for the March health tips on the benefits of not snacking at night.
