Tips To Avoid Sleep Deprivation

You probably having sleep disorders right now that's why you read this article. Worry no more! As I have said in my previous article, I will write another one about it or a simple follow-up article. So this is it, thanks for your effort in reading this.

Being sleep-deprived isn't easy, considering that the effects are not that simple. Ongoing habits of this put our daily lives to suffering or being tortured by its effects. The results of these effects do have great impacts on what we do, considering our work, studies, proper body rest, and even our health.

Here are my tips for you to prevent a lack of sleep.

• Maintain sleeping hours. Try to make it a habit of scheduling your time for bedtime and time to wake up. Sleeping at the same time at night and waking up at the same time in the morning, is the best way to practice proper bedtime rest.

• Try not to take a nap during the day. Taking naps during the day can lessen your sleeping hours at night making it hard for you to sleep.

• Try to avoid nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol intakes during the day. If you can avoid it then very good but if you can't control those bad habits then try lessening it. Coffee in the morning is fine but drinking coffee at 2 pm or so in the afternoon is not. Avoid also drinking alcohol during the day. Do not smoke 3 hours before bedtime.

• Get regular exercise. Do not exercise in the afternoon until night because it stimulates our brain and body to be more active. It is best in the morning to wake up our sleeping nerves, and it regulates our blood flow making our mind sharp and being productive.

• Try doing to-do list before going to bed. If you are stress thinking about other activities you haven't done yet, list it all down. If you have something in mind you that you can't snap away and bothering you, then write it down. In this way, somehow it can clear up your mind and lessens the pressure and stress you are dealing with. This can relax you a bit.

• Try reading a book. If you can hardly shut your eyes for not feeling drowsy, then read something until your eyes are tired. I can recommend you to read such as boring or uninteresting topics for you. That one can trigger sleepiness because if you read interesting topics or stories, it will just hype you up and your mind is getting more active. That makes it harder for you to sleep.

• Make sure your bed is comfortable. Set up your bed first in a way that you are comfortable lying in it. Turn off the lights if you are comfortable sleeping in a dark room or you can turn on a lampshade if you are comfortable sleeping with the lights on. Make sure that your room is not too cold and too hot.

• Try listening to music while lying in bed. Put earplugs or leave your radio on. You can also play a song on your phone without earplugs. Play some genre that is like a lullaby and comfortable enough for your ears. Just leave it playing, later on, you will fall asleep without knowing what song is still playing.

If you have tried all of that, a good job for you. Just do it every night until you make it a habit. If it works for you, then great to hear that. If it still doesn't work, then maybe that is the time that you should consult a medical specialist regarding your health conditions. It is best to follow those tips if it still mild sleep deprivation but if you feel that it is bad, we wouldn't know if that is insomnia or you have other diagnoses that are affecting your sleeping patterns.

Prevention is better than cure. If you can prevent sleep deprivation while it is still just in progress, discipline yourself to prevent it.
