Food and drink

Hydration through water intake is essential and should be done frequently during the day and night to maintain the proper functioning of the body. Caffeine, on the other hand, even when consumed up to six hours before bedtime, can affect sleep and should be avoided. In addition, the guideline is that soft drinks, black tea and green tea are also not consumed close to bedtime. However, taking other types of teas a while before bedtime, such as chamomile, lemon balm and fennel, can contribute to relaxation.

As for the meal, the best thing is to have dinner or supper in fresh food 2-3 hours before bed to make a good digestion and not harm sleep.

Quality time

A good alternative to show your body and mind that it is time to slow down and reserve quality time with yourself is to read or listen to music. Opt for a pleasant reading or musical style that does not deal with heavy and complex themes, so as not to cause agitation, worry or anxiety. Sounds like nature noises, rain, among others with a light proposal can be soothing.

Reassure the mind

Practicing meditation and yoga are great strategies to calm the brain and bring the necessary tranquility to sleep deeply.&nbsp;As for physical exercises, it is worth remembering that moving is necessary and helps in the quality of life and sleep. However, high-intensity physical activities at night, close to bedtime, are not indicated, as they cause the opposite effect, such as euphoria, due to the release of adrenaline and increased body temperature.

Nothing like a good bath

An excellent way to help our body rest is to prepare a good bath with essences, salts and herbs. To complement the relaxing moment, you can add quiet sounds or music. After bathing, take a little more time to unwind, taking the time to clean and maintain your skin and use creams and exfoliators that you like.

Not least, the choice of clothes to sleep makes a difference! Investing in pieces with a light and comfortable fit, from fabrics such as cotton and silk, makes skin contact more subtle and cozy, minimizing the chance of any discomfort during the night because of pajamas.

Prepare the environment

In order to enhance all the stages of the ritual and make the night really pleasant, it is necessary to pay attention to the room and make it a place of tranquility. To start, darken the room, keep the temperature cool and comfortable. Do not keep objects that may cause distraction, such as electronic devices, nearby. The light from TVs and cell phones, and the intense consumption of content and information can leave the mind and body agitated, generate inattention and reduce the hours of sleep, impacting performance and the willingness to deal with the next day.

Another way of taking care of the environment is aromatherapy, which consists of spreading delicious smells around the place and serving as relaxing stimulators. It is a technique to further increase the sensation of calm and make the night&#39;s sleep even better. The use of diffusers and vaporizers with essential oils, with aromas, for example, of lavender, chamomile, lemongrass or peppermint, lemongrass, bergamot that spread, generates benefits not only mentally, but also physically.
