Tips to Improve Sleep: Part II


To follow up on my last article, if you are having trouble sleeping at night- it is best to evaluate what you may doing wrong and how to better your sleep with sleep tips. While air beds and number bed can work wonders for your comfort level at night, if you are engaging in activities that are prone to keep you awake at night, you can’t fully enjoy the technology and comfort that adjustable beds offer. Here are some additional tips on how to improve your sleep at night:


1.       Make Exercise a Priority
Exercising daily or weekly and on a set schedule will help increase your energy during the day. In turn, this will help you regulate your sleep patterns at night and ensure you are ready for bed when it’s time. Additionally, making a point to exercise regularly will improve your mood during the day and help eliminate the daily sleepiness and weariness from not getting a good night of rest. 

2.       Hide the Clock
It has been found that looking at your clock throughout the night will keep you from getting good sleep. Doing this builds anxiety and you lose the ability to become calm and enter into a good sleep state again. If you relocate your clock away from your adjustable bed to a place where you can still use it but can’t see it throughout the night, you will see your sleep improve drastically. 

3.       Eliminate Tobacco
Tobacco products are made with nicotine which is a stimulant. Having tobacco during the day, and ESPECIALLY before getting into adjustable air beds to sleep at night, will inhibit your sleeping. Try to avoid using any tobacco products to ensure you can sleep better each night.
