It’s said we spend half of our lives sleeping. But if improper postures and other wrong sleeping habits are impairing this cycle it could be messing up with your health, and that of your partner.

Remember, you are a healthy, sound sleeper only if:

• You have a good sleep cycle
• You sleep on your back for most part of the night
• You do not wake up often in the night
• You wake up feeling fresh

QUANTITY

Many workaholics believe that sleep is a waste of time. But the signs of fatigue will be too obvious to ignore. Problems also occur when you shift your sleep hours to day time or spread them out with breaks.

THREATS

With studies pointing to the risk of improper sleep, we suggest you take these threats to your wellness seriously:

Sleeping stomach-down: Is not advisable as it indicates improper respiration.

Sleeping sideways: Is often a result of emotional disturbances. Your body’s chakras only align when you sleep supine. But, if there’s discomfort, it’s alright to sleep on your side.

Obstructive sleep apnea: This occurs due to the repetitive collapse of the upper airway resulting in obstruction to breathing. Snoring and daytime sleepiness are prominent symptoms. Treatment includes positional therapy, oral appliances and surgical options.

Sleep deprivation and insomnia: These are products of urban lifestyle and have an impact on your moods, eating habits and blood pressure. Treatment includes writing sleep diaries.

MANTRAS

1. A regular sleep time.
2. Don’t plan the next day while going to sleep.
3. Avoid watching TV before you sleep. Exposing your mind to engaging content and eyes to bright light doesn’t help.
4. Have a warm cup of milk just before sleep.
5. Don’t use too firm or too soft a bed.
6. Use a pillow that you like, however, the more you elevate your head, the more respiratory problems you face.
7. Avoid alcohol. It disturbs sleep.

Having a good sleep is very essential to maintain your health and your beauty as well. I hope this article has helped you with your sleep problems. Please leave your comments and feedback.
