A good night’s sleep is just as vital as regular exercise and a healthy diet. Research shows that poor sleep has immediate negative effects on your hormones, exercise performance and brain function.
The world has finally woken up to the importance of sleep, especially when it comes to living a healthy, happy life. But, for the two-thirds of people who reportedly suffer with sleep-related problems, getting some shut-eye is easier said than done.
Did you know that it can also cause weight gain and increase disease risk in both adults and children. In contrast, good sleep can help you eat less, exercise better and be healthier. Over the past few decades, both sleep quality and quantity has declined.
In fact, many people regularly get poor sleep. But fret not, every problem has its solution. These are the many solutions or cure to your sleep troubles;
- Choosing the Ambiance for Better Sleep
Ambiance
Sleep is for the weak! You’ve surely heard of this one before. This sentence isn’t entirely true. Sleep is a very important aspect in our daily lives.It allows us to recharge, re-energize, and restore our body and minds for the activities the following day. With that said, there’s been a growing trend of placing importance on improving one’s sleep quality.
This is especially important in this day and age where we bring our electronic devices to bed with us instead of our teddy bears. Electronic devices can and will disrupt one’s sleeping habits.

Now with that out of the way, let us look at the ways to improve your sleep quality. The most important thing you need to know is the ambience of your bedroom plays a vital role in allowing you to get better sleep.How do you improve the ambience of your room for better sleep? Here’s how:
- Clean up Your Clutter
To first get yourself into the mindset of sleeping well, you need to remove the distractions. We’re talking about treadmills, computers, and work desks.
Additionally, you could even move your television out of your bedroom. After all, your bedroom is your sleep sanctuary and not your living/tv room.

Having your bedroom as the go-to place for other activities will only lead to your brain associating the room with things other than sleep.If you work in your bedroom, you better believe that your brain is going to associate your bedroom with your work.

Working on a tough and stressful project? Chances are, you’ll be feeling anxious before you go to bed because you correlate the room with your work.It’s a downward spiral from there. Lack of sleep means fatigue, and fatigue is going to affect your work the following day. In the end, this vicious cycle will continue until YOU make the change.
Furthermore, removing your TV from your room may seem extreme, but it does help in many ways. For one, it’s way too easy to flick a button to turn it on.

Are you prone to binge-watching your favourite Netflix shows? Perhaps you’ve found a new and engaging show that you like? TV programs can keep your mind awake longer as you’ll be engaged in the content of your television screen.Moreover, the light from your TV can cause your body to slow down melatonin production, a hormone that promotes sleep.
Trust us, you’ll get much better sleep if you skip your TV shows before bed. Our advice is, avoid clutter and avoid your TV, and you’ll be golden.
- Electronics Affects your Ambience
You wake up, you check your social media. You go to lunch and check your emails while waiting for your food. You’re in bed and ready to sleep, how about a quick search on your favourite celebrity news?

In the same way that television affects your mind, electronics are also bad for your sleeping habits. Most electronics emit the same sleep-stealing light that TVs emit.What’s worse is that smartphones are far more engaging and addictive as compared to TVs.
Image via socialbarrel.com
With the advent of the almighty Internet, you’ll be able to look up any content at the touch of a screen. Our suggestion?Place your electronics out of reach before you go to bed. Even better, how about just leaving your electronics outside your bedroom?
The ambiance of your room will definitely be feeling a lot more sleep-friendly without the distractions of your electronic devices.
It’s almost assuredly a good way to lose your quality of sleep if you look at your smartphones before bed. So stave off the urge to check your social media before bed. Liking your neighbour’s cat’s pictures can wait till the morning.
- Keeping It Dark
Heavy curtains and blackout blinds are the best for this situation.

And if you didn’t heed our earlier advice of leaving your phone out of the bedroom, a helpful tip is to flip your phone (screen face down) over.Many phones light up when there are incoming notifications. This can distract you and even wake you from your slumber.
Better yet, if your phone has a “Do Not Disturb” option, we’d recommend activating it before you go to bed each night.
- Make Your Room’s Ambience as Comfortable as Possible

Unfortunately, noise is fairly unavoidable. Whether it’s your old house making those eerie creaking noises, or even your neighbours having their daily bicker, noise can prevent us from getting to sleep. In the worst case, noise can wake you up from your deep snooze.Though, in truth, it’s not actually the noise that prevents sleep. Rather, it’s the inconsistency of background noise or the lack of it that can be disruptive.

If your sleep environment has noises beyond your control such as noisy neighbours or traffic, try sleeping with a sound machine. These machines produce soothing, mellow sounds that help you to relax.At the same time, they’re really useful for drowning out the annoying background noises that may wake you from your sleep.
Otherwise, if you prefer listening to music, we’d suggest setting your player on a timer to turn off a short time after you normally fall asleep.
This will eliminate the chance of a sudden and inconsistent sound from waking you up.

Alternatively, if you can’t stand any noise at all, we’d suggest wearing earplugs. Be warned though, you’ll be blocking out all sources of noise. You might miss your alarm clock ringing!Temperature

In general, your body’s temperature starts to drop as it prepares to enter its sleep phase. To aid your body and subsequently, improve your sleep quality, keeping your room a cool temperature is vital. Sleeping in a pool of sweat is never fun, we say.There are a few ways to do this. Firstly, you could turn on your air conditioning and set a timer to turn it off after you fall asleep. Once you’ve fallen asleep, chances are you’ll continue sleeping till you wake up in the morning.
If air conditioning isn’t possible for you, we’d suggest skipping the pajamas. Going commando as you sleep will help cool your body down easier. And you won’t be restricted by the fabric of your nightgowns and pajamas. A win-win in our book!
Change your Mattress

This is a very important and often forgotten point. If you’re waking up all sore and stiff, it may be time to replace your mattress and/or pillows.Most mattresses can last up to 10 years, but if your mattress is of poor quality i.e. lumps, sags, or rips we’d suggest replacing it sooner rather than later. Replacing your mattress is especially important if your current mattress is giving you lower back pain; for mattress ideas, here are some mattress suggestions for lower back pain.
On the other hand, if you find yourself constantly fluffing your pillow throughout the night, it may be time to go pillow shopping.
Having good quality mattresses and pillows is very important for your quality of sleep. After all, we spend a third of our lives sleeping. It’s important to get the most out of our time sleeping by choosing the right mattress.

While we understand that buying a whole new mattress may be daunting and pricey, it’s definitely worthwhile to get the best that you can afford.Choosing a mattress comes down to personal preference. Whether you like a firm or bouncy bed, there is always a mattress out there that fits your needs!

- Add Some Colour to Your Bedroom
Calming and relaxing colours such as blue, yellow, and green will help you get the most sleep. These colours can help to put your mind at ease as you’re trying to sleep.
And these colours will also go a long way in improving your bedroom ambiance.

On the other end of the spectrum, certain colours could also negatively influence your sleeping patterns. We’re talking about colours such as purple, brown, and grey.There are theories that suggest that the colour purple sparks the creative mind, whereas brown and grey are often associated with feeling down.
So do us a favour and check the colour of your bedroom. If your bedroom has one of the “negative” colours we’ve mentioned, we’d suggest painting it a soothing sky blue or a tranquil green.
Improving one’s sleeping habits doesn’t happen in a day but you’re definitely on the right track by improving your bedroom’s ambiance.
A relaxing and chill ambiance in the bedroom not only promotes a better quality of sleep, but also a healthier mindset.
We definitely feel that improving your bedroom ambiance is the first step towards adopting a better and healthier sleeping habit.
Choosing The Right Bedding
Your bedding is important for you and your body. It also determines your sleeping patterns, and the quality of your sleep. There are several areas you will have to look into to see what works best for you.1. Choosing the right material for your bedding
“Cotton, silk, or linen are all natural fibres, which are breathable; thus helping to regulate body temperature,” said Sue Smart, resident bedding expert at LuxDeco.
Egyptian cotton comes across as one of the best bedding materials to date. Experts ‘claimed’ Egyptian cotton is a classic, freshly-made, pure cotton sheet. It’s not just any cotton, it seems.
“Egyptian cotton is one of the finest,” Sue continues. “Being made from a long staple fibre, it gives a smooth, crisp finish.” Want glossy hair, hydrated skin, and less wrinkles? Choose silk bedding.
The protein-infused structure of the silk strands is naturally equipped to tame locks and keep moisture close to the skin. That results in an improved morning face and less of a messy ‘morning head’. Don’t worry too much about the glossy finish if you are not a fan of one. Like most bedding, silk-filled pillows and duvets also come with cotton covers.
If you are a fan of the relaxed, live-in look commonly seen on breezy beach-side villas, opt for pure linen beddings. It’s less hassle of an upkeep that you thought to be.
With linen, you do expect a less ironed look, but after several washings it will feel softer. You can bet it feels great too. Bedding covers may seem like it’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
As the saying goes: you make your bed, you lie in it.
2. Thread counts
It’s about quality than quantity. Most of us do not know why anyone should be so preoccupied with it in the first place.
Or why having a higher thread count is ‘apparently better’. “Thread Count measures the fineness of the fabric by counting the number of threads per square inch,” Sue said.
“It’s often used as a measure of quality but it can be misleading as high thread counts can include twisted threads of double yarn.” Remember that quantity may not mean its quality product. Check the material if it really is of good quality.
3. What’s a great mattress for sleep?
Different bodies, different preferences. If you like bed with a bounce, mattresses with inner springs have that familiar bouncy feel. Inter-connected coils are extra-durable, but individual “pocketed” coils covered with fabric reduce the ripple effect that happens when someone on one side of the bed moves.
Prefer a firmer base? Memory foam mattresses and latex mattresses have much less spring. To know the quality of the mattress, check the density and thickness of the foam, which determines how deep you will sink.
Newer mattresses generally use several different layers of foam, where heavier ones on the bottom for support and lighter, cooler ones on top for comfort.
If you love to sleep on your sides, and want a surface that will support your bodyweight and conform to your shape, try innerspring mattresses.
Innersprings may have more pressure relief than some foam or latex mattresses, but soft foam mattresses work for side sleepers.
While you are at it, try mattresses that have built-in pressure relief points around the shoulders and hips. Those work too!
4. Pillow Choices
Sleeping on the right pillow can help you with back pain or neck pain (if you have any) and minimizes it. Most people feel the way a pillow feels is the most important factor when choosing one.
There are still some things you should look for in a quality pillow regardless of the filling. Know the fill of your pillow. The most common filling in a pillow are down feathers, synthetic/polyester fibers and foam.
Natural goose down feather pillows are long lasting and excellent in terms of comfort. It can be pricey but worth your money. Cost-friendlier option would be synthetic/polyester fiber pillows, which are generally hypoallergenic and machine washable.
For firmer support, get pillows made of memory foam and Tempur-Pedic materials. Keep in mind foam pillows retain heat, so…not the best option. Thread counts matter for your pillows too.
The higher the thread count in a pillow, the more durable and plush it will feel. A standard sized 20” by 26” pillow with 300 thread count is cost-efficient and comfortable to sleep on.
For a more luxurious feel, go for a pillow with 500-800 thread counts. Pillows with 1000 thread counts are great, but do expect to pay more for it.
Consider having a fluffy pillow too as it provides better cushioning and lasts longer. It also means fresh air is still able to travel through it. A lifeless, deflated and flat one means the pillow can no longer trap air. It means the ‘dead pillow’ is no longer able to give comfortable support.
To test for pillow fluffiness, fold the pillow in half and see if it unfolds on its own. If it does not, you may want to look for a new pillow.
5. Sleeping position
Sleep positions can cause you health problems, ranging from aches to sleep apnea and orthopedic problems. The back sleeping position is reportedly the best sleeping position thus far.
It’s the best sleeping position for people who have back pain. With the right mattress and pillow, it makes all the difference in your sleeping experience.
The negative side of sleeping on your back is that it can exacerbate snoring or sleep-related breathing disorders. Sleeping on your back also allow your tongue or soft palate to block your airways, temporarily depriving you of oxygen and waking you up.
The sleeping position with the most cons is the stomach sleep position. Only around 7% of people report sleeping on their stomachs because it leads to back and/or neck pain.
One upside of stomach sleeping is it tends to be one of the best positions for snorers. Remember to try a new sleeping position every once in awhile.
Note that not all sleeping positions are perfect. Shift into a new position every now and then to avoid any adverse, long term health problems.
Sleeps Aids - Au Naturel Substances to Help Your Sleep
Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness

It’s no lie. Stressed people have more difficulty trying to fall asleep. Yoga, meditation and mindfulness will calm the mind and relax your body. This improves sleep.Unleash your inner yogi. Yoga incorporates a good command of breathing techniques and body stretches. These before sleep, could rid the body of stress and tension as well as relax the mind.

Better melatonin levels help achieve good sleep easier and quicker. Lastly, be more mindful. Mindfulness will help you worry less. This will make it easier to sleep more sound as worry is one of the most frequent sleep thieves.
Good Ol’ Diet
Scientific studies show that a high-carb low-fat diet affects your sleep efficacy. Even though carb loaded meals make you sleepy, the quality of sleep will be questionable.
Your body slaves away while you sleep to digest all those carbs. So, it steals away from your rest energy. Low-carb high-fat diets are the better dinner option.
It digests slower so you get better quality sleep. However, if you do persist on carb loading before sleep, do it 4 hours before. This gives you apt time to digest so your body can rest when you do decide to sleep.
Let’s get Physical! with Exercise
Exercise boosts serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is crucial for melatonin (sleep hormone) production. Exercise also reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels in your body. So, with exercise, you’re less likely to stay up worrying. The intensity of exercise matters though.
Keep it moderate and don't overdo it. Research has shown over strenuous exercise is linked with poor sleep. The time of exercise is just as important. Morning exercise is better than late evening exercise. If it’s too close to your sleep time, your elevated heart rate from exercise will keep you alert and awake.
Soothing, Touting Scents of Aromatherapy
Essential oils come in a vast array. They are highly effective in improving sleep quality for insomniacs. No wonder its such a common remedy for the sleep troubled.
Relaxing essential oils like lavender and rose oils are great for sleep conduciveness. Do stay away from stimulating oils like cypress, rosemary, grapefruit, lemon, and peppermint. Just cause they smell great, doesn’t mean they all help you sleep. Some have the opposite effect.
Get an essential oil diffuser for your room. They don’t cost a fortune. They're well worth the investment too. Then, know the difference between sleep enhancing and stimulating oils. Avoid accidentally disrupting your sleep.
Put a Cap on your good Ol’ cup of joe

Many of us are slaves to our one, two, three or more daily cups of coffee. It’s nearly impossible to function without it. We all know caffeine aids in reducing fatigue and stimulates alertness.But, caffeine in the vicinity of your sleep time will cause detriment to your sleep. It's best to stave off the good stuff at least 6 hours before sleep. Avoid coffee, sodas, and energy drinks.
For the best sleep, resist temptations to have that cafe latte with your pasta dinner out. Coffee is good but only in moderation and at the right time.
You may yearn for another cup with dinner. But, your body will thank you later on after that deep uninterrupted 9-hour sleep.

We know the cause and it’s really straightforward --- you’re just not tired enough due to lack of exercise! We totally understand this. It’s not entirely justifying to have bad nights just because you don’t exhaust yourself.

Yet, the good news is that you don’t have to! Do you know you can actually do some exercises without leaving your bed? In fact, exercise greatly improves sleep no matter where and when you do it, according to this poll.

2. Leg Lift
3. Push Up
Slowly bend your arms and lower your chest to the bed while keeping your back straight, and then return to the starting position. Perform as many reps as you can.
4. Sit Up
To perform this exercise, lift as you would do for a normal sit up, then twist your body gently to one side. Whilst doing this, extend the opposite leg to the direction of your turning. Repeat this movement whilst alternating between sides.
5. Planking
With your weight on your forearms and toes, align your elbows under your shoulders. Lift your body to make a straight line from your head to your heels.
Hold this position for 20 seconds and then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat this for three reps.
6. Stretching
Remember to go slowly and complete a few of these to strengthen your muscles. Most importantly, be sure to do your stretches after warming up in order to prevent injury.
