You may be waiting to read some health tips in this article to modify your diet and improve your sleep quality. Relax, none of that is going to happen in the next twelve minutes of your life. By the time you have finished reading this writing, you may want to implement just one change in your daily routine for a better life.
Sleep is something that comes naturally to us, but we like to deprive ourselves of it for countless reasons. Can you remember when you were a teenager, you would never mind sacrificing a nap if you felt something was more important than just sleeping? Anyway, it was never just Dream. Many of us would never realize the importance of taking a nap until at least the age of 25. As soon as we approach thirty, we begin to appreciate the need to be dead to the world for a minimum of six to eight hours a day. And we don’t want to compromise on that, no matter how fun a party is.
Is it imperative to sleep?
Can you answer this question in No? Of course, you can’t. Insomnia – the word was coined not without reason. People understand the havoc their bodies can take if they can’t sleep for any reason, even for one night. For an extreme example of an insomniac person, you can watch the movie The Machinist. The simple yet profound movie will give you a perfect idea of what can happen to your mind and body if you don’t sleep for a long time.
Not sleeping at all is, of course, a serious situation. Still, many of us don’t even realize that we can’t sleep well throughout our lives. You may have noticed that a person in your office feels dizzy all the time. Or that boy in your class who yawns every time you see him. That obese girl from your school, whom you make fun of, may be overweight just because she doesn’t sleep well. Among dozens of side effects of tossing and turning at night, the most important one is that you forget your sense of self and start feeling down about life.
It’s rare, but common, for us to accept poor sleep quality just because. Even when we know that we need to sleep soundly every night, we accept all the disturbances in our body just because we feel there is no solution. Don’t worry. The solution is right there with you, and you don’t need to visit a dietitian or doctor to get it.
What is the way out of insomnia?
Have you heard of a thing called Smartphone? Yes, it’s right there; maybe in your hand right now. Laptops, Smartphones, Kindle, Tablets and TV, all these electronic devices have undoubtedly made your life easier. You may feel much more informed than ever simply because you can afford a smartphone and the Internet. You may realize that you should spend a little less time on your mobile phone than you do today. Still, it may be difficult for you to get rid of it.
Nobody is asking you to get rid of your mobile phone forever. You need him in your life for better reasons than anyone can judge. However, a Smartphone is something that has improved and worsened our lives at the same time. We cannot think of our life without this little gadget in hand at all times. Still, you have to identify with the fact that it interferes with your sleep.
What is the reason to keep your mobile away?
While we sleep, we all have the habit of reviewing the messages that may have arrived on WhatsApp. We feel an obligation to respond to those messages. After all, it is our duty to respond to our loved ones, right? Yes actually. Then, once we are done with WhatsApp, we open Facebook; then it’s Instagram’s turn, and maybe Snapchat at last. So this is the endless cycle that repeats itself roughly every night. Perhaps, you may not indulge in this habit when you are exhausted. Still, you keep your mobile by your side when you fall asleep, right? Keeping your phone away while you sleep is all this whole ordeal is about.
Apart from making mistakes in our diet and routine, we only make a simple mistake by placing our cell phone next to the bed or even under the pillow while sleeping. Life is hard enough these days. The last thing we want to think about while we sleep are the worries we face during the day. When you are about to sleep, you visit the whole world in just an hour or two through social media. However, you may have noticed that when you are sleeping with your mobile at arm’s length, your hand automatically starts searching for it as soon as your sleep is interrupted.
You may feel thirsty at night, for example, but instead of looking for water at first, you would like to look for a message from your loved one that can flash on your screen. But how would you feel if that message is something you don’t want to see? It can become a cause of anxiety for you for the rest of the night. You may not be able to do anything about it at 3 am, but you will lose sleep over it. Similarly, you may want to go to the bathroom late at night. She reaches for her phone to check the time, but doesn’t realize that the light from the screen is harmful to her eyes. If you have sensitive eyes, you should not look at your phone while you sleep.
How to sleep without your mobile?
You may think what kind of ridiculous idea is that? How would you wake up in the morning without your alarm clock on the phone? The answer is Wake Up! That cute little clock on your table that you threw away years ago is the only thing you need on your table instead of your cell phone for the whole night. Those little notification alerts keep you disturbed all night. Even if you keep your phone on silent mode, the curiosity to check your phone at every possible minute will not go away.
It may seem difficult to sleep without your phone at first, but it’s an achievable feat. You would be uncomfortable for a couple of days and you would miss your phone. Despite this, after a week or so, you will definitely feel the difference in the quality of your sleep. You will start to have a deep sleep and you will wake up more refreshed than before.
The idea is to keep your phone in your closet or in a place where you can’t easily reach it. When you’re in a deep sleep, reaching for your phone is the last thing you want to do. When he finds it hard to pick up the cell phone, he just comes to his bed and enjoys his sleep. Yes, taking forty winks becomes a lot more enjoyable when you don’t have any interruptions around you. Do not trust any mobile app that claims to assess your sleep quality. For these apps to work, you have to hold your phone very close to you, which is not a good idea at all. Just notice how your body feels when you wake up in the morning. Your own body is the greatest evaluator of everything that affects it, positively or negatively.
Isn’t it worth your health to try? Try to keep your mobile phone away from you tonight and see how you feel the next morning. If you feel good, you can add value to your life with just one simple idea. Little things like these make life more enjoyable. Take a crack at them.
