EDITOR’S PICK: 

A good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet. Research shows that poor sleep has immediate negative effects on your hormones, exercise performance, and brain function. In contrast, good sleep can help you eat less, exercise better, and be healthier.

So, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some tips to get better sleep at night.

1. Reduce irregular or long daytime naps

While short power naps are beneficial, long or irregular napping during the day can negatively affect your sleep.

Sleeping in the daytime can confuse your internal clock, meaning that you may struggle to sleep at night. To get better sleep at night, cut down day time naps.

2. Try to sleep and wake at consistent times

Your body’s circadian rhythm functions on a set loop, aligning itself with sunrise and sunset. Being consistent with your sleep and waking times can aid long-term sleep quality.

Set a particular time to sleep and time to wake up ok a daily basis, it would help you to sleep a lot better.

3. Don’t drink alcohol

Having a couple of drinks at night can negatively affect your sleep and hormones.

Alcohol is known to cause or increase the symptoms of sleep apnea, snoring, and disrupted sleep patterns.

It also alters nighttime melatonin production, which plays a key role in your body’s circadian rhythm, whatever you do, avoid taking alcohol at night.

4. Don’t eat late in the evening
