Sleep
We all know how important sleep is. So most of you following along with the challenges probably guessed that Sleep would be a part of one.
Tonight we’re going to look at some tips for getting a great sleep and improving out different sleep cycles. ((This information is coming from Whoop))
TIPS FOR GETTING GREAT SLEEP & IMPROVING SLEEP CYCLES
While there is no simple formula for boosting the amount of time you spend in any of the stages of sleep, there are behaviors you can adopt to give yourself the best chance at an efficient night of sleep. Here are some good practices we’ve learned from the leading studies on sleep science:
The darker your room, the better you sleep. Light influences the wake stage of sleep so the darker you can get your room, the more time you will get in the restorative stages.
Set your room temperature at or around 68 degrees. You will fall asleep quicker when your bedroom is slightly cool.
Your bed is not a multi-use space. The more you can train your body to associate your bed with sleep, the more adept you will be at falling asleep in that space. As such, avoid work and leisure time spent in your bed.
Screens are stimulating and keep you awake. Avoid using your phone or computer in bed, screen time makes it more difficult to fall asleep.
Set a cut-off time for caffeine intake. Caffeine has a lingering presence for many hours after consumption. For greater sleep efficiency, consciously refrain from caffeine consumption at least 4 hours before bed.
Plan ahead when consuming alcohol. Just as caffeine intake impacts the body hours after consumption, so too does alcohol. Keep this in mind on a night out so that your sleep performance doesn’t suffer.
Fall asleep and wake up at similar times each day. We call this sleep consistency, and studies have shown it can improve the quality and efficiency of your time in bed.
