6 Tips For A Better Beauty Sleep

Sleep is important to keep both the mind and the body healthy. If you’re up for a big day, the best way to prepare is to get a good sleep and get your body revitalized and ready for the big day. Here are some tips you can do to get a better beauty sleep.

Listen to natural noise or play relaxing music

Playing relaxing music during bedtime is one of the most popular ways to calm the mind and relax the body for sleep. Some people enjoy the sound of nature, such as the leaves of tall trees dancing with the wind, the ocean breeze, etc.

Avoid listening to upbeat and loud music, especially those with lyrics or someone singing. These songs will activate your brain and make it harder for you to fall asleep.

Avoid eating before bedtime

Snacking before bedtime, particularly sugary foods and grains, will raise your blood sugar, which may inhibit sleep. Also, when you take sweets and your blood sugar drops too low, you may wake up in the middle of the night and find it difficult to fall back asleep.

Snacking before sleep also activates your digestive system, and having a full stomach few minutes before sleeping makes the digestive system work harder, making it also harder for the body to relax and fall asleep.

Sleep in pitch black darkness or as close as possible

Sleeping in a dark room, or as close as possible, can help you get in your ‘sleeping mode’ and keep you in it even when you wake up at the middle of the night.

No TV before bedtime

To make things better, there should be no TV in your bedroom. Late-night TV shows shows and news can be very stimulating, activating your brain in the mood to pay attention and think, making it harder for you to fall asleep when you need it. Also, because it stimulates the brain, it can be disruptive for the pineal gland, the organ in the body that produces melatonin, which is responsible for the body’s biorhythms.

Wear socks to bed

Our feet usually have the poorest circulation when we sleep, making it feel cold first before the rest of our body. Socks can help warm the feet and reduce the chances of night wakings from feeling cold.

Avoid using too-loud alarm clocks

As much as you want to wake up on time and be ready for the big day, it is not healthy for the body to be awoken suddenly. If you really want an alarm clock, opt for a lighter one.
