Bad Sleeping Habits You Need To Know About

9/26/2022

​A night with poor sleep quality can result in an unproductive and unmotivated day. It might affect your immune system, mental health, and blood pressure if it becomes a habit. A person that is sleep deprived has a higher risk of having heart disease, mental disorder, and other illnesses.

The things you do before you rest can also cause your lack of sleep. Below are some bad habits you need to avoid to have good quality sleep.
5 Bad Sleeping Habits
We've all been lying in bed, unable to fall asleep despite being exhausted. And if you're like most people, you probably have some bad sleeping habits that keep you up at night. Here are five of the most common ones: 

Eating Before Bedtime
Your metabolism slows as your mind and body prepare to rest, so eating close to bedtime can lead to digestive issues, stomach acid, or heartburn. It is advised to eat dinner two hours before sleeping to give your stomach time to digest the food. 

Sleeping At Odd Hours
Each person has a circadian rhythm connected to the sun's rising and setting. Melatonin, or the hormones that let you sleep, is active when the person is not exposed to light. You feel active during the day because the sleep hormone production is slow because of the sun's light and vice versa.

Sleeping 7 to 8 hours every night and making it a habit can help you avoid chronic insomnia and inadequate sleep. 

Drinking Coffee In The Late Afternoon
Drinking coffee lets you stay awake, which makes your brain active and makes it difficult to sleep. Studies show that caffeine is still in effect 8 hours after its consumption. You can have a good enough sleep if you avoid drinking coffee or other caffeinated drinks after 2 pm.

Using Gadgets In Bed
As mentioned above, it is hard to sleep when the person is exposed to light. The usage of gadgets when in bed is not advised because technology produces blue lights which imitate the light produced by the sun. Additionally, the content you may encounter while browsing the web can increase the risk of anxiety and stress. 

Experts suggest reading journals or other books 2 hours before sleeping instead of scrolling through social media to reduce the consumption of blue light.

Working Out Before Going To Bed
Exercising late at night hinders you from having enough sleep as it produces endorphins that let you become active and improve your mood. Being physically active is healthy, but avoid exercising 1 to 2 hours before bedtime. 

Conclusion
Having enough and proper sleep is essential to healthy living. Bad sleeping habits such as eating before bedtime, sleeping at odd hours, drinking coffee during midday, using gadgets in bed, and working out before bedtime can increase the risk of possible heart diseases, mental disorders, and other serious illnesses.
