Sleep Right To Live Right

For your body to perform at an optimum level, you not only need to fuel it with the right food but also give it proper rest for it to recover. Rest may be of many forms but the most dominative among all is sleep. You just cannot compromise on your sleep – both the quantity and quality.

Recently, I added a pair of blue light blocking glasses to my work from home accessories and was really amazed by the improvement in my sleep quality, which came along with it. It’s highly recommended that you get your own pair. You can buy glasses online for amazing styles at pocket-friendly prices.

A pair of blue light glasses is one thing, but there are lots of other things that you can do to improve your sleep. Let’s have a look into the small changes that you can inculcate in your lifestyle for that much needed quality sleep.

Follow a Routine

No need to worry, as we will definitely not ask you to stick to the ‘early to bed, early to rise’ principle, which your parents may be stressing on since your childhood. To ensure that your sleep cycle doesn’t get disturbed, go to bed and wake up at approximately the same time everyday. Small fluctuations in timing is understandable, but stay within a range of maximum one hour.

Regarding the quantity of sleep, it’s natural for it to vary from individual to individual. It’s just that you should not be moving around with a sleepy head for the major portion of your day.

Manage Your Blue Light Exposure

At the outset, it needs to be stated that blue light – in the right amount – is actually beneficial for the proper functioning of our body. However, excessive exposure or exposure in dim light conditions can cause eye strains, lethargy and related problems.

We understand that you can’t completely cut down your screen time, given your dependence on digital medium for essential work. But, you can definitely take preventive measures, wearing a pair of blue light blocking glasses while facing a digital screen being one of them.

There is already enough awareness about the benefits of blue light glasses in the UK. This has led many eyewear brands to come up with their own range, comprising various styles and types. Even if you choose to prefer the online medium for your purchase, you even have the option of getting it delivered the very next day – thanks to Specscart’s free 24 hour dispatch service, which has made same day glasses a reality.

The Right Environment

Even after getting everything right, if you haven’t created a surrounding that facilitates your sleep, you are bound to have a tough time falling off to sleep and an even tougher time sustaining a quality sleep.

Make sure that you have the light and external noise under control. Your bed should not only be comfortable but also neat and tidy.

A Healthy Diet

The impact of food on sleep is largely underrated. To improve your sleep, you must be eating a healthy diet, without overshooting your calories requirements. Further, it is recommended by many experts that the gap between your last meal and the time you go off to bed should be at least 3-4 hours.
