How to Achieve a More Restful Night’s Sleep
Wake up naturally. Jolting yourself awake with an alarm or radio isn’t doing your brain and body any favors (it can be stressful on the body and even elevate blood pressure, which is not good first thing in the morning). If you do need an alarm, consider a wake-up light. Wake-up lights mimic the sunrise, slowly brightening the room and waking your body in a natural, gentle way. Kick the screen habit. You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again: Looking at an electronic screen — a TV, computer, tablet, or smartphone — before bed is detrimental to sleep quality. Light from these devices is disruptive to your brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which helps regulate your circadian rhythm, and screen time before bed can throw off normal SCN function. Put your excuses for staying up too late to bed. Say no to “one more episode.” And all those emails? They can wait until tomorrow. Not getting enough quality sleep is harmful to your mental and physical health. When you get into the habit of following these three tips, you’ll find yourself feeling rested and refreshed in no time.
A good night’s sleep is one of the most important things you can do for
your mind and body. One study published
in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research found that the quality of your sleep is much more important than the
quantity — that is, if you want to feel rested. And we all want to feel rested. So, what can you do to improve the quality of your sleep and get the rest you need? Listen to your body. This, above all else, is crucial to a good night’s sleep. Your body knows when it’s time for bed. Generally, you want to go to bed when you feel tired, whether that’s at 8 p.m. or 1 a.m. Whenever your body tells you it needs rest, you should make a habit of going to bed then. The more consistent you are, the better your sleep will be.
“I am a personal injury lawyer in Seattle, Washington, and I have worked on several professional projects with Greg Herrman. Greg and his team know personal injury law and are passionate about getting great results for their clients. I would not hesitate to refer a Texas personal injury claim to Herrman & Herrman.” –Matthew D. “I can’t tell you how relieved I am that Lane took my case and was able to provide me with the results I needed. I would recommend Herrman & Herrman to any friends and family for their legal needs.” –Jessica S. “A friend referred me to Neely and his team over at Hermann & Hermann right after I got in my accident. They did an amazing job and were very courteous and efficient with my case. I highly recommend this company and Neely if you find yourself needing an attorney.” –Carly C.
“Steven and Teresa are the best!!! I called sometimes 2–3 times a week and they never got irritated! My case (my car wreck) actually occurred in Oklahoma and had nothing to do with Texas. I just happened to be moving here. I chose Steven Stratso because he went to law school in Oklahoma and is trained in international law! So, I knew he could handle my case. And he did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him and any attorney at Herrman & Herrman!” –Shannon E. “I was injured in an accident and Herrman & Herrman handled my case. At first, I had no idea what to expect or what to do, this being my first accident. I was in so much pain and didn’t have a car with mine being totaled in the accident. The law office was able to help me get a rental and see a doctor. I felt very much taken care of and appreciated. During the duration of my case, I was kept up to date and aware of any changes. I would highly recommend the law office of Herrman & Herrman to anyone in need of an attorney. Great staff, great office. Will definitely return if I ever need an attorney again.” –Susan A.
