How To Get The Best Quality Of Sleep Every Night

Daytime Practices

Researchers have suggested the best way to help regulate a natural sleep cycle and prepare for a restful and fulfilling sleep at night is to avoid short naps and to exercise daily. Daily exercise - whether it be vigorous or light activity - helps stimulate the brain during the day and helps to reduce the amount of energy an individual may experience at night. Stretching before bed can also help to eliminate stress and get the blood flowing throughout the body.

Avoid taking short naps if possible as well, especially if you struggle with sleeping at night. Power naps might help you feel less tired during the day but will not help you when winding down and preparing to sleep at night due to the surge in energy gained from the nap.
