Essentials for quality sleep at night

The following are basic practices to help you get the best and sound sleep for better health:

1. Bedtime routine

Create a regular schedule for your bedtime and when to get up. Ensuring that your room is dark and quiet as well as calm at night gives you a chance for quality sleep. For better results, keep off all distractions and avoid any form of fatigue an hour before going to bed.

2. Be free from stress or any mental distress

Engage in leisurely strolls, slow music, and reading quietly so as to sooth your brain for better sleep. The brain gets a chance to clear up everything if you stop working like 2 hours or so before going to bed. Set string bedroom rules such as banning lighting, sounds, switching off the TV, radio, phone and any other gadget.

3. Be full when going to bed

This should not be mistaken for overfeeding at bedtime. Additionally, you should not sleep on an empty stomach. Avoid using alcohol, caffeine or nicotine among other stimulants. Take foods with enough zinc minerals so as to convert the tryptophan chemicals into the sleep serotonin hormone.

4. Take time for exercise
