Avoid
sleeping while working hours
Getting
6 hours of sleep may not be the problem -- maybe the problem is that those 6
hours are not peaceful enough. If so, try these methods to get a good night's
rest:
Avoid having drinks that contain caffeine or
alcohol, for a few hours before going to bed. While, caffeine makes you feel
refresh instead of sleepy, alcohol might interfere with your sleep pattern.
Do not smoke, or take nicotine in any form, in the
later hours of the day. This is because nicotine is a stimulant and can make it
difficult for you to fall asleep.
Ensure that when you sleep, your room is as dark as
possible. The presence of light, even in a small amount, interferes with your
sleep. At the same time, make sure to expose yourself to sunlight as soon as
you get up. This will help your body follow a regular sleep pattern.
Indulge in light exercise for 20-30 minutes, on a
daily basis. However, make sure that you exercise either in the early morning
or the early evening. Exercising at night is not good for a sound sleep.
The deficiency of iron, especially if you are a
woman, can lead to disturbed sleep or even lack of sleep. So, make sure that
your body receives iron in sufficient quantity.
Make a sleep schedule for yourself and stick to it
as much as possible. Having deviations once in a while is okay, but don’t make
it a habit to sleep or rise much earlier or later than your usual time.
Ensure that the state of your bedroom is conducive
to sleep. Do not keep distracting things like TV, PC, and other such items in
your bedroom. Even a ticking clock can interrupt your sleep.
