Good sleep is crucial for recovery and performance. Here are three ways to improve your sleep quality:
1. Make the Room Completely Dark
Darkness signals your body that it’s time to sleep. Use blackout curtains or an eye mask to eliminate any light in your bedroom.
2. Lower the Temperature of Your Room
A cooler room promotes better sleep. Aim for a temperature between 60-67°F (15-20°C) for optimal sleep comfort.
3. Wear a Nose Strip
Nose strips can help open up your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe and reducing snoring. This leads to a more restful and uninterrupted sleep.
4. Limit Screen Time
Avoid screens (phones, tablets, computers, TV) at least an hour before bed. The blue light emitted can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.
By implementing these tips, you can improve your sleep quality and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your workouts.
