My life would go nowhere if I did not sleep properly or long enough....or happily.
Have you ever noticed that if you cry yourself to sleep you always wake up in a bad mood?
Well here are some tips from my own experience that can ensure that you are fresh and ready for a new day and a new start.
1. Get into bed at least 30 minutes before you plan to sleep
This is so that your body can fully relax and unwind; all prepared :)
2. Put down your phone and any other electronics
You might have heard it before but my form tutor has told all of us (multiple times) that its a scientific fact that electronic devices keep you awake - we are all guilty of the endless instagram scroll and twitter feed.
3. Read a book.
I would recommend The Hunger Games but you know I'm a little biased. The point is that reading slowly shuts down your mind and the words on the page get longer until you can't keep your eyes open any longer.
4. Think of happy things
Ask yourself what the best parts of your day was, smile, think of tomorrows goals, celebrate your life! Clear your mind of any unhappy thoughts and make sure that you've finished everything you need to before you sleep so your stress free.
Even plan an exciting breakfast for tomorrow morning because it (and coffee) sure seems to get me up!
5. Stretch out your body.
You don't really realised how tense your body can get during the day, so moving around a little can help with deeper sleep.
6. Set yourself a 'bed time' so you know that you get at least 8 hours sleep
Now that your body is refreshed and relaxed (and that banging head ache is gone along with those under eye circles) you can go and
conquer
the
world.
