Tips for Getting Better Sleep You can improve the quality of your sleep by leveraging the following tips. Have a Regular Bedtime and Wake-up Time Your body has a way of adjusting to your habits to increase efficiency and save energy. If you don’t have a specific sleep and wake up-time, your body’s circadian rhythm will be disrupted, and this will affect you. This is one of the reasons you’ll notice that you slept but woke up feeling tired. Set specific times and let your body get into the groove. It might take a week or two, but once your body gets used to it, you’ll feel more energized after sleeping.

Avoid Using Bright Lights in your Room When you’re exposed to the sunshine in the morning, your body soaks it up, and you’ll feel rejuvenated. The boost in energy enables you to complete tasks faster and more effectively. When the sun sets, you should avoid bright lights because your body will assume that it’s still daylight and want to stay alert and active. This exposure can prevent you from sleeping on time. So, it is in your best interest to ensure that your room is dark to lull your body to sleep on time.
