Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for our overall well-being, especially as we get older. However, there are certain habits that we may not even realize are affecting the quality of our sleep.
Here are 12 bedtime habits that you should always avoid:
1. Keep Your Feet Warm
Going to bed with cold feet can make it harder to fall asleep. Make sure to warm your feet before getting into bed to promote relaxation and better sleep.
2. Establish a Bedtime Routine
Having a bedtime routine signals to your brain that it’s time to sleep. Try incorporating activities like brushing your teeth, washing your face, and other calming rituals into your routine to prepare your body for sleep.
3. Limit Caffeine Intake
Avoid drinking coffee or any caffeinated beverages at least 4 hours before going to bed. Caffeine can stimulate the nervous system and make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.
