Waking up Rested

Sleep is an essential part of our lives and a major contributor to our wellbeing. Here's what you can do to start waking up rested.

Make sure you meet your sleep needs

A healthy adult needs 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Constant lack of sleep leads to debt that affects memory, cognition, heart health, and mental wellbeing.

1) Prioritise sleep - when you get enough sleep, you become more productive and accomplish more in less time.

2) Fix your sleep and wake times - our brains love consistency. Irregular schedules increase stress and disrupt sleep.

3) Take gradual steps - shift bedtime by 20 minutes every few days until you reach your target.

4) Learn to fall asleep fast - breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided visualisation all help.

Manipulate the light and darkness in your favour

Expose yourself to sunlight in the first half of the day and gradually reduce it towards bedtime. Stop using gadgets at least 2 hours before bed - blue light inhibits melatonin production.

With all these tips in mind, hopefully you'll fall asleep easier and feel more rested in the mornings to come!
