Consider this: your sleep affects every other thing you do in life. From working to parenting to driving to exercising, getting bad-quality sleep can lead to sluggishness across the board, aka everything you do in a day. Needless to say, high-quality sleep is extremely important.
Getting a good night's rest might be more attainable than you think. For starters, you'll want to eliminate as much distraction and light as possible. This might mean investing in some blackout curtains, turning off the tv, and moving your phone away from your bedside table. Many people find their minds wandering as they try to doze off. If this is you, consider trying out a sleep app or bedtime podcast to give your brain something soothing to focus on.
Next up is making sure your bed is prepped for perfect sleep. First things first: your bed is only for sleeping. Only get in once you're ready to wind down for the night, meaning you shouldn't use it to read or watch tv randomly during the day. You'll want to make sure your bed is as comfy, cozy, and relaxation-inducing as possible. If you can, invest in a good mattress. A less expensive investment, though, is purchasing high-quality sheets. High-quality doesn't have to mean expensive, however, spending a little extra cash is probably worth it in the long run. A good set of sheets should be like Goldilocks—soft but a bit stiff, durable yet cozy, and able to keep you warm in cold months and cool in summer months. Rest assured, we can guarantee that any one of these 12 will have you peacefully snoozing in no time.
