Why is this good for your emotional health and wellbeing?
Lack of sleep can put us in a bad mood and can be a cause of depression and anxiety if you’re not regularly getting enough sleep.
How to complete this challenge?
Prepare for bedtime tonight so that you sleep well and get more than 6 hours worth of sleep.
Tips to sleep better:
- Go to bed at the same time everyday
- Don’t take naps in the day
- Create a nice dark, quiet and cool sleeping environment
- The more you move the better you sleep
- If you can’t sleep get out of bed and do something relaxing for a bit until you feel sleepier
- If you can’t sleep because you’re anxious write down your worries
- Avoid using your smartphone or tablet device just before bed
- Listen to some relaxation music or sounds of nature (like rain, sea or forest) before bed
- Get enough daylight
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol or eating a big meal just before bed
