The season of pumpkin spice and cosy knitwear is here and with it comes a clock change and much darker evenings. Thanks to these seasonal changes, our sleep routines are likely to need some adjusting as well.
So how can we make the most of our sleep and how can we really prepare for a good night’s sleep throughout the day?
Well luckily, Mattressman has done some research and compiled a list of the best sleep tips for the season, which can easily be followed into the rest of the year to help improve your sleep.
Its widely recorded that exercise is the key to a night good night’s sleep, and although exercising feels like the last thing you want to be doing when the weather turns cold, even spending just 20 minutes stretching or walking a few hours before bed can dramatically improve your sleep.
Keeping to your normal sleep routine is key. With the dark colder evenings drawing in it can be easy to want to head to bed earlier, however, changing the times you go to sleep can mean that your sleep pattern will change and you might find the quality of your sleep decreasing.
Allowing your bedroom to stack up with laundry and clutter can play a big part in preventing sleep. Spend a small amount of time each day keeping your sleep space tidy and organised so you’re ready to enjoy a good night’s sleep. After all, a tidy space is a tidy mind.
Finding a hobby to unwind to in the evening that doesn’t involve scrolling a screen can work wonders for your sleep. Activities such as reading a book near bedtime are not only a great way to unwind before hitting the hay but they won’t disrupt your sleep like using your phone or laptop will.
There’s no better time to reinvent your sleep routine and with the change in season, this needn’t be daunting, making small changes to your evening routine can make a real difference to the way you sleep.
What are you most looking forward to this Autumn and how are you planning on improving your sleep?
