Get moving for better sleep

Movement is the key not only to a healthier life but also to a blissful night's rest. 
Tossing and turning at night due to the stress of the day? 
Waking up in the middle of the night? 
Try taking a stroll or hitting the gym. Getting active reduces stress and helps you sleep like a baby.

Poor sleep? Limit coffee cups 

Is your evening incomplete without a cozy cup of coffee or tea after dinner? Let us give you a tip: enjoy it until 6 p.m. Why? Because the caffeine in these drinks can disrupt your sleep cycle. Fortunately, there are delicious alternatives! Consider a calming glass of water, fresh ginger or mint tea, or a warm cup of aniseed milk. This way, your body has enough time to break down the caffeine from the day. Also, try to limit your coffee consumption during the day. If you get enough sleep, you'll find that those extra cups are no longer a necessity.

The black screen before bedtime 

It's tempting to spend some time scrolling aimlessly on Instagram or TikTok, answering messages, or sending the last emails before bedtime. However, this is not the smartest move because the blue light from your phone and other screens can disturb your sleep. So, trade that screen for a good book or calming music an hour before bedtime to prevent a restless night.

Go to bed at the same time 

Crawling under the sheets at the same time every night? A stable sleep routine is the key to a blissful sleep. But hey, we understand that the weekend calls, with long evenings on the terrace with friends. No worries, even after such an adventure, you can get your sleep cycle back on track during the week. This way, you continue to enjoy peaceful nights and start each day with fresh energy for your daily adventures. So, drift off to sleep and tomorrow is sure to be great again!

At least eight hours of sleep 

In Dreamland, eight hours of sleep is the magic number for optimal rest. This rest gives your body the chance to recover and provides you with the energy you need for the next day.
