Golden Steps for Getting Better Sleep

Night owls reign the streets in Pakistan. Whether it’s for food, drinks, cigarettes, or just driving into the night every conclusion is the same: No one sleeps at night. At least we Pakistanis don’t. Well, this article is all about the top things that help you sleep better.

Many of us don’t get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep per night. And consequently, we’re sleep-deprived or worse, insomniacs! The impact of such lack of sleep is frightening, alarming, and detrimental to our health.

Tips for Improving Sleep

A nice cup of herbal tea a bit before bed can be soothing and calming.

The scent is a powerful force, with essential oils like valerian (a common ingredient in herbal teas), bergamot and lavender are scientifically proven to help improve sleep quality.

Plants have amazing health benefits. There’s a stack of research that reveals that they improve sleeping environments.

Vitamin deficiencies are quite often a root cause of poor sleep. Certain foods can make us sleepy, as some contain those much-needed vitamins, so you might want to rethink that grocery list!

If you’re looking for the perfect treatment to beat sleepless nights then you need music in your life. It’s pretty cheap and has zero negative side effects.

Caffeine is undeniably the most widely consumed psychoactive drug in the world. According to doctors in Pakistan’s top medical facilities, healthy adults should be consuming no more than 400 milligrams a day (roughly four-five cups of coffee) as it can pose a danger to health. Cut it out.

Stress and upsetting thoughts can create a night of tossing and turning. On the other hand, mindfulness and meditation can leave you feeling calm, and more likely to get a good night’s sleep.

Exercise is great and considered a ‘virtual fountain of youth’. After pumping iron, you feel good and ready to tackle the world, but the time of day you exercise is really important.
