Boost your energy naturally this new year with simple habits, from stretches to soothing tunes, and discover the power of expert-backed tips for a healthier sleep routine.
Here’s a summary of tips to help you stay awake and fall asleep:
-
Stretch: Try “child’s pose” stretch, where you get on your hands and knees, spread your knees wide, and take your tailbone towards your heels, lengthening and decompressing your spine.
-
Chew gum: Chewing gum can increase focus by increasing blood flow to the brain.
-
Get a hobby: Engage in activities that bring you joy and make you feel alive, as they can help distract from stress and anxiety.
-
Don’t be tricked by Netflix: Instead of watching TV before bed, try listening to calming music or nature sounds to help you relax.
- Drop off to your favourite album: If noise keeps you awake, try listening to a familiar piece of music that won’t stimulate your brain.
Additionally, here are some tips from experts:
-
Stanley (ex-CEO of Netflix) suggests that sleep is more important than the content we watch before bed.
-
Anna Schaffner, author of “Exhausted: An A to Z for the Weary”, recommends finding activities that bring you pleasure and connection, and avoiding sources of stress and anxiety.
I hope these tips help!
