5 Healthy habits before you go to sleep

Sleepwear. Pillow. Comforter. Sleep.

Sleepwear and sleep – What do they have in common? A bedgasm- the feeling of euphoria experienced when climbing into bed at the end of a very long day.

Damn right! Staying in bed all day is a mood. You’re comfy, happy and resting with the sleep face. 

Are you a morning person? Do you like piping hot coffee first thing in the morning? Do you perform morning stretches as part of your morning routine? Well, just like a morning routine, a bed-time routine also exists! 

A good 7-8 hours of sleep works like magic! You’re well rested, and you feel chirpy and happy. Bring that magic into your sleep every night! Whether you’re not able to sleep well, or you want to sleep better than you do, follow a bed-time routine! 

Your bed-time routine can detoxify your environment and ambience before you sleep! It sets your body in motion for a good night’s sleep. Slip into some comfortable sleepwear and snuggle into bed.

Wanna know what a bed-time routine can be?

Here are 5 healthy habits you can follow before you go to sleep!

Switch off your devices (and switch into your sleepwear)

Using your phone, a tab or watching a show on your laptop? These devices emit blue light which reduces melatonin levels in your body. Melatonin is necessary for you to sleep, and to wake up. If Melatonin levels in your body drop, you will find it more difficult to wake up.  More so, using a device before sleeping can keep your brain alert and functioning, which makes it harder for you to fall asleep!

Make it a habit to stop using devices before you sleep!

Pair your nightwear look with a shrug or a robe from Zivame’s range of Shrugs and Robes:

Build a bed-time routine

Ever thought of a bed-time routine before? Well, it helps you sleep better! What can you do in your bed-time routine? Meditate for a few minutes before bed (it helps to calm your mind). If not, you can even perform some gentle stretches as well. The tension in your muscles will be reduced.

Take a warm shower (it relaxes your body, your mind and makes you feel lighter). Once you hit your bed after the shower, listen to some soft music and focus on your breathing.

Sleep well with a comfortable sleep bra from Zivame’s range of Sleep bras:

Watch what you eat and drink (and what nightwear you sleep in)

Coffee or a slice of cake before you sleep? Then be prepared to stay awake at night! What food goes into your body can impact the quality of your sleep largely!

Have a light meal before you sleep. Going to bed hungry or feeling stuffed will leave you feeling uncomfortable, unable to sleep. Try to avoid consumption of alcohol and caffeine before you sleep. They reduce the quality of your sleep overall. 

Feeling nostalgic? Check out the character store! You can sleep comfortably with nightwear from the character store!:

Turn on white noise or pink noise (and turn into nightwear)

Are you a light sleeper? Even the softest of the noises will probably wake you up, right? Try white noise, to muffle background noise. It is soothing and distracts you from other sounds. 

If you’re not a fan of white noise, try pink noise. Pink noise filters high frequencies of white noise. It creates warmer tones that mimic wave movements. You can even find pink noise on Spotify and YouTube. 

Sleep tight and pair the white noise with comfy sleep tops from Zivame’s range of sleep tops:

Try to avoid the following

• All of us want to sleep well at night. Why not avoid some of the other habits?
• Don’t we all love naps, especially post lunch? Well, you gotta avoid ‘em if you want to sleep well at night! 
• Avoid high-calorie meals at night. You might be famished, or you’re a major foodie! But for a good night’s sleep, it’s better to avoid them because it impacts the quality of your sleep.
• Avoid all kinds of strenuous exercise which will activate your body and mind. It might stimulate functioning with the opposite effect and keep you awake. 
• Try to avoid heavy or intense conversations before you sleep. The more you talk, the more active and awake you are.

With Zivame’s range of pyjama sets and nightdresses for women, you can sleep in comfortably.
