10 Bed Time Habbits Ruining Your Restfull Sleep by iamtewwy(m): 9:56pm On Jul 12, 2014 |
Chronic pain, computer usage, snacking late into the evening…all of these factors are bound to keep you up at night! And what’s worse is if you don’t correct these surprising bad bedtime habits you can end up with chronic insomnia and associated health problems due to sleep deprivation. Are you guilty of any of these ten bedtime habits that are ruining your chances of a restful night’s sleep? 1. A Too Full Tummy Despite common sense, many of us cave to a snack attack before bedtime or simply eat dinner way too late in the evening. A large amount of food consumed shortly before bedtime means that your digestive system is working in overdrive to digest it, which means your sleep patterns will be disrupted. 2. Artificial Light The body is lulled to sleep thanks partly to a soothing chemical called melatonin. However, you won’t catch the sleep bug unless you’re surrounded by darkness, which means sitting in front of a bright television or bathed in artificial light won’t put you in the mindset for slumber. 3. A Full Bladder Many of us drink a glass of water before bedtime. However, too many liquids before bed will keep you up during the night and running to the bathroom. 4.Nix the Electronics It may help you fall to sleep after you catch up on all of your emails and check the buzz on all of your social networks. However, the artificial light from your computer screen will keep your body and mind stimulated and unable to fall to sleep.

5. Lack of Bedtime Routine You can signal to your body that you’re readying for rest with a structured bedtime routine that you repeat each and every night. For instance, making your lunch, laying out your clothes for the next day, brushing your teeth, and washing your face before bed will help put you in sleep mode. 6. Pain Back ache, headache, joint, and tooth pain—there’s no doubt that chronic pain hurts your chances of a restful night sleep. If you suffer from sleep deprivation due to chronic pain, talk to your doctor. 7. Cold Tootsies And I’m not talking about your lack of commitment; I’m talking about the lack of circulation to your cold, frigid feet! During colder months, cold feet can really keep you up. However, slipping on a pair of fleecy footwear will improve circulation in your extremities and lull you to sleep faster. 8. Skip the Stimulants Nicotine, soda, caffeinated tea, chocolate, and coffee are all stimulants that will hang out in your body, accelerate your heart beat, and prevent you from sleeping for up to 4-hours after consumption. 1 Like

9. Stress Work stress, financial stress, and marital anxiety all put the neurotransmitters in your brain on high alert, which means your brain will stay active and sleep you’ll often end up with insomnia over the long term if you can’t kick the source of stress in your life. 10. Snoring There are 37-million chronic snorers in America and if you suffer from sleep apnea, a disorder linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke—or if your spouse is a chronic snorer, you are probably not able to fall asleep due to the lack of restful silence. 2 Likes

iamtewwy:The artificial light thing is what I v discovered long ago. I switch off lights whenever I wanna sleep. If am sleeping & my bulb was switched on, I ll wake up. There's this kinda brightness that ll reflected on my face & travelled down to my brain. Last Bullet Some people ll say that they can't sleep without light cos of security reason. They can sleep without light by placing a tourchlight, match stick & candle of lantern in a corner. All they need is to go & switch them on when they get up. 1 Like |

In my face me I box u house, everyone is seen emptying their potty with different coloured urine first thing in d morning. Funnily, a fight broke out between Mama Nkechi and her husband on how fast a potty as big as 5litres get filled up before 2am. Most Nigerians re guilty of number 3. |
