Nothing spoils your day more than waking up groggy from a bad night’s sleep. The trick to getting a good sleep starts with what you do before bed. There are a few things you can incorporate into your night time routine to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Nightly Routine To Get A Good Night’s Sleep
Put Your Phone Away Before Bed
In this day and age our phones are a permanent extension of our arm and we’ve all been lectured on our unhealthy addiction to them. But you really should avoid using your electronic devices close to bedtime. The blue light from our phones can trick our brains into thinking its daytime, making us more alert and unable to fall asleep.

Sleep On A Silk Pillowcase
The definition of beauty sleep starts with swapping out your regular pillowcase for a silk one. Silk is an incredibly soft and gentle fabric that feels like heaven when pressed against your face. As silk is a natural fibre it is known for being hypoallergenic and temperature regulating.
Avoid Caffeine
In the morning, coffee is your best friend, but in the evenings it’s your worst enemy. Try to avoid any caffeine in the afternoon and onwards. If you’re craving a hot beverage before bed, opt for a herbal or sleep tea which will aid in your sleep.
Relax
Engage in relaxing activates like reading a book, meditating or having a bath before you sleep. This will help to calm your body and mind. Doing this in dim lighting can also help to get your mind prepared for sleep.
Don’t eat or drink too late
A late-night snack might seem like a good idea at the time, but you’ll pay for it when you go to sleep as it can disturb your hormones and impact the quality of your sleep. Drinking too much liquids before you sleep can also be harmful so try to reduce your intake late at night and use the bathroom before you go to sleep.
