This week, we’re featuring the importance of a regular sleep schedule on overall health and wellness! Did you know that over 50% of Americans feel that they are sleep deprived? Keeping a consistent sleep schedule is important, but ensuring you’re sleeping enough at night is even more vital to your health! A positive and healthy lifestyle on and off the mat is imperative for overall longevity. Ready to reorganize your sleeping budget this month? Here are the top 3 offenders to a good night’s rest! Say goodbye to your restless nights today. Blue Light Not-So-Special Blue lights usually mean we’re getting a good deal, but in sleep’s case it just isn’t true. Tablets, phones, and computer screens all display a blue light form of illumination that disrupts the body’s natural sleeping cycle. Throughout the day, the human body releases and regulates hormones to ensure that we expend our energy before bed-- hitting the sack on time each night. There are two easy solutions to avoid the zombie inducing power of blue light: install a filter on your phone and desktop computer. If you have to use electronics before bed, these applications replace the backlight with a natural filter to avoid any disruptive sleep later on. There are dozens of mobile applications for your phone, and Flux is a free application for any laptop, desktop, or tablet device. It Might’ve Been the Vitamins A lack of proper vitamin supplementation can result in restlessness and disrupted sleep cycles. If you are taking a multivitamin, be sure to take it first thing in the morning to kickstart the body’s energy metabolism, working hard to keep you going during the day (and not at night)! Prefer to tackle your sleeplessness head on? Take a potent, coenzymatic B-Complex vitamin. The B vitamin family boosts your body’s natural metabolism to give you a healthy surge of energy, tackling stress with antioxidant power. B vitamins are also water soluble, so don’t worry about taking a high dosage-- anything your body doesn’t need is excreted through your urine. Make Your Routine Solid Potentially the most important sleep offender, maintaining the same sleeping schedule is the most important predictor of restful nights. If you tend to sleep at 10:00 PM at night, try your best to sleep at that time (or 30 minutes before or after it). Waking up at 7:00 AM? Set an alarm, and try not to sleep in, so your body will naturally adjust to your schedule. As long as your sleep schedule is giving you 8 hours each night, you are getting enough zzz’s to stay healthy and vibrant throughout the day! Which sleep offenders surprised you? Which one is the easiest for you to overcome? Share your stories with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtags #rylwellnesswednesday and #roswellyogalife to join the conversation! |
