When we don’t sleep well, everything changes! It directly affects our eating patterns, our brain functions and can lead to diseases 🤒 like diabetes, obesity, and even cancer. It can also shoot stress levels, make us feel fatigued, and make us easily irritable about anything 😤. ⠀ ⠀ You’ve probably asked yourself a million times which are the motives that inhibit you from sleeping well, and here we bring six possible answers that have a lot to do with your habits at home:⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Your room is too warm 🔥: This, of course, will bother you as it has been proven that cooler temperatures ❄️ make us sleep better, so maybe it’s a good time to get a fan or turn on your A/C.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 You drank caffeine after 3 pm: A cup of coffee in the afternoon sounds about right ☕️ but… it’ll keep you active until very late! It’s better to let our energy decrease so we are tired when it is time to sleep 😴.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Lack a pre-bed routine: A pre-bed routine is a way of telling your brain that the time to shut down is coming 🛌 , so it’s good that you set a specific set of tasks to do before bed, like brushing your teeth, applying some skincare 🧖♀️ or reading a chapter of a book 📚.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Using your phone before bed: Unplug yourself from technology an hour before heading to bed 📱. Believe us, all that lightning diminishes your melatonin production which is the hormone that makes you sleep.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 No time to wind down: Find it! Meditation 🧘♀️, a cup of wine 🍷 , reading a book 📖 , and forgetting about technology 🖥 are always good options to wind down.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Random sleep schedule: Organize your routine and establish fixed schedules 🗒 so you can always go to bed 🛌 at the same time. That way you adequately control your hours of sleep. ⠀ ⠀ --- ⠀ ⠀ Do you know someone that needs to improve or work on their sleeping time?
