The best sleep routine and environment
Thomas Høegh Reisenhus, sleep expert and TEMPUR® sleep advisor, reveals the key components of a good bedtime routine and environment…
A surefire way to facilitate a better night’s sleep is to practice good sleep hygiene.
Establish a sleep routine that works for you and stick to it.
This will help your body establish a consistent and natural sleep-wake cycle, which can do wonders for your overall sleep quality.
As such, try to avoid making up for lost sleep by sleeping in later.
Instead of sleeping in, spend the morning reading a book in bed or drinking coffee in the kitchen.
Make sure your bedroom, bedding and nightwear are also fit for purpose.
The ideal sleeping environment is dark, quiet and cool – much like a cave.
If you find that unwanted light sources are keeping you awake, consider investing in an eye mask or blackout curtains.
Adding upholstery can be a great way to reduce noise, with surfaces having an absorbent quality, but if that doesn’t work, consider adopting a soft soundtrack to block it out.
In terms of temperature, try to keep your room at 18°C. You can further reduce the risk of waking up due to overheating by ensuring all of your bedding and pajamas are made from natural, breathable materials such as cotton and linen.
Keep in mind that everyone is different; What may work for most, may not work for you!
While knowing how much sleep you should get, how to overcome common barriers, and practicing good sleep hygiene can facilitate a great night’s sleep, if you continue to persistently struggle with sleep or fatigue, don’t hesitate to consult a doctor or healthcare professional. to get support. .
