Sleep
Scoring sessions, followed by consultations of the patients, have
revealed some common bad habits, indulged in before bedtime, that cause
disturbances during sleep. These habits act as deterring factors to Sleep creating hurdles on the way to a
good night’s sleep. Let’s take a look at them.
Alcohol
before Bedtime
Ending the day with a drink or two is quite popular,
especially among professionals. Although alcohol does seem to help you doze
off, it interferes with the later stage of deep Sleep. The stage of deep Sleep
is vital for the body to rest properly and repair any damages. Do note that the
higher the numbers of drinks are, more the time it stays in the body.
Caffeine
in Excess
Coffee or caffeine in excess should be avoided. Apart from the
usual complications like upset tummies, etc., caffeine also interferes with
sleep as it blocks the body from winding down. It is so effective that large
amounts of coffee, taken even during the day, can keep a person awake at night.
Irregular
Sleep Timings
Going to bed at regular times helps get a good quality of
sleep. If the body is given regular timings for any task, it prepares and
performs better in such situations. Sleeping at irregular times every day is
equivalent to forcing the body between different time zones. Sleep Experts have labeled this event has
“social jet lag”.
Avoid the above before going to bed in order to improve the
quality of your Sleep. A good
night’s Sleep can go a long way in
improving your health and lifestyle and filling you with energy. You can
