Sleep helps foster muscle growth, repairs our cells, and fortifies our immune system.
If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, there are a few things that could be affecting your rest. Let’s be clear about the role sleep plays in our daily lives. For starters, it is important to our physical and mental health. Sleep helps foster muscle growth, repairs our cells, and fortifies our immune system. It can also help our blood vessels and heart repair themselves while our brains are busy sorting through and filing memories and improving our cognitive functions. But during stressful times, it can be challenging to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Below are a few of the worst sleeping sins that you should avoid to get a better night’s sleep. Read on to learn more!
You Love Your Snooze Button
If you’re banging on your snooze button every single morning, it might mean you’re committing a sleeping sin and not getting enough sleep. You could also suffer from insomnia, depression, or sleep apnea if you hit snooze too much. Sleep doctors agree those ten minutes you were hoping for will make you feel even worse if you give in to the temptation. Try moving your alarm clock further from your bed to force you to get up once it goes off.
Too Many Naps
Too much sleep may be a symptom of depression, but it is also associated with Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s as you age. Napping is wonderful in moderation, but try to avoid napping on your mattress every single day for too long. If you feel like you cannot stop napping, consider the following: Record how much sleep and how you feel before you sleep and after you sleep, and then make an appointment with a sleeping specialist to see if there’s any reasons you’re sleeping too much. A sleep specialist can help you get rid of this sleeping sin.
Drinking too Much Coffee
Drinking too much alcohol before you hit the hay can keep you up at night. Any kind of stimulant that you consume will mess up your sleep schedule in a big way. To avoid this sleeping sin, downsize your coffee consumption in the morning, cut off the caffeine by the middle of the afternoon, and hydrate with water in between coffee cups. This will help you sleep much better at night.
