A good sleep routine consists of having a structured, consistent routine before bedtime. This will lead to a more restful night’s sleep. A good sleep routine can differ from person to person but it’s recommended for everyone to get at least eight uninterrupted hours of sleep a night. Sometimes this isn’t so easy. The healthy sleep program at Harvard University states: “While we may not often think about why we sleep, most of us acknowledge at some level that sleep makes us feel better. We feel more alert, more energetic, happier, and better able to function following a good night of sleep. However, the fact that sleep makes us feel better and that going without sleep makes us feel worse only begins to explain why sleep might be necessary.”
We’ve all felt the grogginess of the morning following going to bed too late. A couple of nights of this shouldn’t have too many longer term effects on your health. However, over time, your body and brain will start feeling it.
We all know that sleep is vital to our day to day functioning and well-being. Being in a sleep deficit, especially long term, can have negative effects on your physical and mental health. Sometimes certain health conditions like sleep apnea can contribute to poor sleep, but it can also be some of our own habits that affect our sleep patterns. If you want to start your wonderful full night of sleep the best way possible, consider setting a routine, or a set of structured tasks that help your brain understand that it’s time to wind down.
Having a good sleep routine should be a priority right along with eating good food and exercising. The long term negative effects of sleep deprivation can be long-lasting and can aid in the development of some pretty serious health issues down the road. Setting a bedtime routine and buckling down on a few habits can help you get to sleep faster and feel better every day.
