4 Really Simple Tips To Help Improve Your Sleep<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting a good night\u2019s sleep is important for both your physical and mental health, but lots of us find it hard to get good sleep consistently, according to the Royal Society For Public Health (RSPH)<\/a> the average Brit sleeps for only 6.8 hours a night which is almost a whole hour less than the 7.7 hours people feel they need and 54% of Brits say they have felt stressed as a result of poor sleep.<\/p>\n

With sleep tied so closely to our health, it\u2019s important to make sure you get a good amount of time snoozing, as poor sleep is linked to weight gain<\/a>, various diseases<\/a> and impaired brain function<\/a>, so getting better sleep could very well save your life.<\/p>\n

So today we\u2019ll be exploring some ways you can improve the quality of your sleep.<\/p>\n

\"ManExercise During The Day<\/b><\/h2>\n

People who regularly exercise during the day time, sleep better at night and feel less sleepy throughout the day. Regular exercise helps deal with symptoms of insomnia and sleep apnea as well as increasing the amount of time you spend in in deep sleep. The more vigorous your exercise the more sleep benefits you\u2019ll notice, but even light exercise helps improve sleep quality.<\/p>\n

But it is important to exercise during the day time well before it\u2019s bed time, exercise speeds up your metabolism, increases your body temperature and stimulates various hormones, so if you exercise too close to bed time, these things can interfere with your sleep.<\/p>\n

Blackout Blinds<\/b><\/h2>\n

We wouldn\u2019t be a very good blinds company if we didn\u2019t shout out blackout blinds<\/a> here would we? But blackout blinds are an amazing way to help your sleep, by creating a completely dark environment to sleep in, blackout blinds eliminate the possibility of light pollution causing distractions from sleep.<\/p>\n

A dark environment also works with your body\u2019s natural clock, where humans are tuned to sleep when it\u2019s dark out so this will help you fall into a natural slumber and avoid the possibility of lights outside from passing cars etc rousing you from your sleep.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019d like to try our blackout blinds to help you get better sleep, order a sample<\/a> today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Consume Caffeine In The Evening\"Cup <\/b><\/h2>\n

Caffeine has numerous benefits and is consumed by most people daily in one way or another. A single dose of caffeine from an energy drink or cup of coffee can enhance focus and energy.<\/p>\n

However caffeine can stay active in your blood for 6-8 hours, so it\u2019s not recommended to consume any caffeine after the mid afternoon to ensure that it\u2019s out of your system come bedtime, so simply not having a coffee after 3-4pm can help increase the quality and ease of your sleep. If you really do need a cup of coffee in the evening, we recommend that you stick with the decaf.<\/p>\n

Make Sure You Have A Cool Room<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all had the issue before, you can\u2019t sleep because it\u2019s too hot in your room and we all know first hand that warm temperatures aren\u2019t conducive to a good nights sleep, throughout the day your body temperature will peak in the evening and drop to it\u2019s lowest levels while you sleep, so a cool 16-18\u00b0C (60-65\u00b0F) is thought to be an ideal temperature in a bedroom, if it gets hotter than that you\u2019ll likely be restless and in a room much colder you\u2019ll find it difficult to fall asleep and wake up.<\/p>\n

So make sure your blinds are closed in the day to stop heat from coming in and maybe have a fan for those warm nights or an open window to help you drift off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
