Adequate sleep is a necessary ingredient for a overall healthy life. The best way to detox is to get a good night’s sleep. It is the easiest and cheapest way to relax and rejuvenate our bodies .
The benefits of a good sleep are multifold.
# The mind consolidates when we sleep. The skills that we learn when we are awake are refined and consolidated when we sleep thus helping us to learn better.So whatever is it that you are learning , maybe a new language or a new sport , proper sleeping habits will enhance your effectiveness in any skill.
# Apart from consolidating , the mind reorganises and restructures the memories too, this leads to creativity.So if it a new article that you have to write or a painting that you are completing ,a good night’s sleep will help you to do it better .
# A 2010 study found that C-reactive protein, which is associated with heart attack risk, was higher in people who got six or fewer hours of sleep a night. So proper sleep can save you from heart diseases and increase your chances of living more.
# Stress and sleep are closely related , sleep being the antidote . Enough sleep helps us to remain calm and composed which makes it easier to fight stress and depression.
# Weight control and maintaining a healthy weight can be achieved with adequate sleep .
Now that we know the many benefits of sleep , the question arises how do we sleep better. What are the things that can boost a better sleeping pattern . Here i am listing a few of them , but to each its own .
#Avoid coffee or any other caffeinated drink just before sleeping .
# Finish your dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime
# Have a cup of warm milk or chamomile tea before sleeping. Organic india has a deep sleep tea with no added caffeine,it works wonders for me . I sleep like a baby after drinking this.
# Reading a good book or listening to some soothing music can provide the necessary boosters for a good night’s sleep .
# Gadget detox before going to bed . As much as we are attracted to checking our phones for whatsapp or Facebook updates while in bed, this is the best way to hamper our sleep. So stay away from all your gadgets once you are in bed .
# Streching before sleeping also helps us to sleep better. We can perform some simple stretches on the bed itself . Like lying down and doing namaste with our feet .
# Lastly have happy thoughts before you go to bed .Think about the good things that happened during the day .
So happy sleeping guys …leaving you with calvin”s thoughts on sleep . Have a happy trip to slumber land all of you !!!
