There are plenty of conventional and unconventional methods all over the internet. We are focusing here only on the easiest and most reliable methods that will transform your sleeping experience. Remember that relying on a single process may or may not help. We suggest you try everything you can and adapt what suits you. In this blog, we are going to discuss the best 5 methods that can completely transform your sleep.

The human body tends to adjust its temperature from day to night. In general, our body cools down at night telling our organs that it's time to sleep. If the temperature of your bedroom is either too hot or too cold you may find it difficult to sleep. The simple fix to this problem is to adjust your bedroom temperature to a certain degree that allows your body to relax. Your goal here should be to feel comfortable and make your body relax so that you get an undisturbed sleep. Most of us start falling asleep when our feet get warm. Keeping your bedroom cool and your feet warm under a blanket can be another cue for you.

Minimize using the phone in bed

Heard about melatonin? Our brain secretes this substance which is responsible for falling asleep. If you want your brain to secrete melatonin properly, turn off the lights and your phones and close your eyes. Multiple studies have been done and each shows that our phone emits a blue light which directly impacts the amount of melatonin that our brain produces. This results in keeping your brain on until it can’t handle more stress. We suggest keeping aside your phone 30 minutes before you go to bed. By doing this you are allowing your body to naturally turn off.

Adapt to a comfortable sleeping position

Everyone finds a certain sleeping position comfortable and their body adapts to it. Sleeping on your back is one of the most popular sleeping positions. However, many people find it difficult to sleep on their back. If you are someone who finds it difficult to sleep on their back try other positions such as side sleeping or stomach sleeping. If you are someone with medical conditions, try consulting your doctor. They will suggest a sleeping position that allows the muscles around the affected organs to relax. Let’s assume a person is suffering from acid reflux then sleeping on the left side can be very helpful in relaxing the affected muscles.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Maintain your stomach health

You might have heard that our stomach is also referred to as the second brain. As we discussed above, how our brain produces melatonin, our intestines also release a substance called neurotransmitters that helps us to fall asleep. Studies have shown that a healthy gut helps more in sleeping than a healthy brain. So, keeping your stomach healthy can be very helpful in achieving great sleep. We would like to suggest a few things to keep in mind such as avoiding eating simple carbs before bedtime. Foods that contain simple carbs are white rice, pasta, and white bread. Coffee or drinks containing caffeine should be avoided too. Focus on including fruits, cottage cheese, and dry fruits in your dinner.

Try to implement these methods in your daily routine to see magical changes in your sleep and overall health. We are not going to leave you with only 5 ways to improve sleep. Many more ways are easy to adapt such as performing a few physical exercises every day. Practicing meditation can also help keep you motivated and positive.
