Cool, Dark, Quiet
Remember those long, hot summer nights in Mumbai? A cool, dark, and quiet room is key! Ensure your bedroom is a sanctuary for sleep. Dim the lights, use
blackout curtains, and consider a fan for both coolness and white noise. This will help you get a restful night's sleep.
Consistent Sleep Schedule
Think of it like Diwali – consistency is key! Stick to a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. This will make you feel refreshed.
Avoid Screen Time
Just like you wouldn't binge-watch Bollywood movies right before prayers, avoid screens before bed. The blue light emitted by phones and tablets can interfere with sleep. Instead, read a book or listen to soothing music. Namaste to better sleep!
Caffeine Cut-Off
No more chai or coffee late in the day! Caffeine is a stimulant, making it difficult to fall asleep. Avoid it, especially in the afternoon and evening. This will allow you to sleep like a baby! Zzzzzz.
Daytime Sunlight, Activity
Embrace the sun like a Bollywood star! Get some sunshine during the day, and stay active with yoga, a walk, or even a game of gully cricket. This helps regulate your sleep cycle and prepares you for a peaceful night's sleep. Sweet dreams!
