How to sleep better in the new year

The best ways to sleep better in 2022

The New Year is quickly creeping upon us! In this time of new beginnings, we usually make self-promises, also known as resolutions, to go into the new year with a brand new goal. In 2022, why not make your resolution all about sleep? 

In this week’s blog, we will be exploring the many ways to sleep better throughout the new year and onwards for a better quality of life!

Sleep Goals 

Having the right amount of sleep, paired with a body supporting mattress and all the extra necessities for a fulfilling nights rest is essential for your health, and will ultimately change your life in 2022. 

With the new technologies of the 21st century, everyday light exposure can be very damaging to your sleep health. In the new year, try to increase bright light exposure and decrease blue light exposure. Increase bright light exposure in your day to day life, as it positively impacts your alertness, overall mood and metabolism. However, blue light can be very damaging to the eyes, as studies have shown it can be the leading cause of the release of toxic molecules in photoreceptor cells! 

Do you find yourself consuming too many caffeinated products throughout the day? This could be a leading factor as to why your sleep is not fulfilling to its maximum potential. High consumption of caffeinated food and drink could be the reason why your sleep may be interrupted and can also cause damaging stomach issues. In 2022, try to eliminate unnatural forms of caffeine, especially later in the day. This will not only help your sleep health, but your overall health for the prosperity the new year brings. 

Introduce a positive sleeping routine into your new year! Take the new year into your own hands, and introduce a sleeping routine where you get enough sleep during the night to be as productive as possible throughout the day.

It is suggested that anything less or more than 7-9 hours of sleep can be detrimental to your health. Throughout 2022, make a strict routine of going to sleep and waking at the same time. Trial it out for a month, if you feel more uplifted, and motivated then keep it a continuous habit!
