Do you wish to live a healthy lifestyle after seeing a fit person on social media?
What you might not be aware of is that it’s not so hard to live a healthy lifestyle if you have the right tips at hand.
Here you will find some interesting hacks in this blog that will assist you in living a healthy lifestyle.
Reading
Where diet and exercise play an important role in sleeping, a quiet mind is also an important factor.
You can relax your mind before you go to sleep by doing some light reading while drinking a cup of herbal tea.
No Electronics In Bed
Smartphones and tablets are the new generations of technology which has their infinite advantages.
But at the same time, they have caused considerable damage to sleeping habits.
Put your phones on silent mode before you go to bed so that you don’t get any messages or calls that might make your brain start working and hence make sleeping impossible for you.
Make a List
For some people who are always charged and pumped up, to read at night might not be possible for them.
So instead you can sit and make a list of all the things that you did that day and make another list of things that you need to do the next day.
By doing this, your mind would be able to relax as you won’t keep worrying about what you need to do the next day and you can concentrate instead on relaxing and unwinding.
Lift Weights
While cardio is good for your morning exercise routine, lifting weights in the evening can make the best bedtime routine.
You can do some weight training after dinner if by any chance you don’t have a weight set then you can try a few cross-fit style exercises or do some push-ups and sit-ups.
By doing these muscles would be able to burn any lingering sugar in the bloodstream and this will help you to doze off more easily.
Stop Smoking
Nicotine prevents you from sleeping as it is a stimulant.
Many people who smoke experience withdrawal urge at night.
Studies have shown that smokers are four times more likely to feel untested after a whole night sleep than people who do not smoke.
Apart from this smoking intensifies sleep apnea and other disorders related to breathing and these can also stop you from sleeping well during the night.
You should not be worried about the fact that quitting smoking can keep you up at night; this effect will pass away in around three nights according to experts.
Stop Hitting the Snooze Button
When you keep on snoozing your alarm, you are just perpetuating a bad sleeping cycle.
As you know that you will snooze your alarm at least five times before you wake up, you then go to bed late.
Instead, you should force yourself to wake up the first time your alarm goes off this might be exhausting but it will eventually lead you to go to bed on time.
