5 Tips for Sleeping Better Each Night

This is a collaborative post

Getting a good night’s sleep can make all the difference to your health and happiness, allowing you to improve your overall wellbeing and productivity.

Of course, getting the sleep that you deserve can seem like a challenging task – particularly if you have little ones waking you up throughout the night. And, even when your kids grow out of their sleepless nights, it can be hard to break your own bad sleep habits.

Luckily, there are small changes that you can make which can help you sleep better. If you’re ready to feel more rested, then check out these five fantastic sleep solutions!

1)     Decorate with Calming Colours

While repainting your room might seem like it won’t help you to sleep better, colours can have a big impact on our mood.

If you paint your walls in a calm shade, such as a pale blue, you’ll help to contribute to your bedroom’s relaxing environment.

If you’re looking for a new paint colour, the experts at Dulux have a huge selection of shades to suit your tastes.

2)     Cut Back on Caffeine

While caffeine can be a vital tool for helping us to get through the morning, too much of it, or even having it too late in the day, can have a negative impact on our ability to get a good night’s sleep.

If you find yourself drinking coffee after coffee, consider reducing these, and limit them to before lunch.

That way you’ll have the whole afternoon to get the caffeine out of your system before bedtime.

3)     Invest in a New Mattress

An uncomfortable mattress can be one of the biggest causes of poor sleep and can even start to cause back problems for you and your partner.

If you’re looking to find a new mattress,archerssleepcentre.co.uk has a wide selection of hand-built king-size mattresses that suit any budget and preference. And, if you aren’t sure which option is best for your individual sleeping needs, their expert team are on ready with handy advice to help you choose the right product.

4)     Fill Your Room with Sleepy Scents

Introducing new scents to your bedroom can be a great way to help you relax, and fragrances like lavender and camomile have been used in all sorts of products to help bring about feelings of calm.

If you don’t like the idea of scented candles in your bedroom, the same effect can be achieved through the use of fragrance diffusers. 

5)     Try Out a Relaxing Podcast

Altering your bedtime routine can make all the difference. Instead of spending your time before bed scrolling through social media, consider switching things up and listening to a meditative podcast.

Platforms such as Spotify aren’t just great for music, you can also use them to keep up to date with your favourite podcast shows so you never miss an episode.
