Sleep Hygiene Essays Examples

There are many techniques of improving the sleep hygiene, but most of the people prefer medicals, alcohol or other stimulators. I think that the reasons can be different. First of all it is easier to take some pill than to start control yourself and take care about your sleep hygiene. Also, people could have not fixed working hours, like working on different shifts – morning, days, nights and no stable schedule. When a person has to sleep in different parts of the day, sometimes he or she needs to fall asleep faster to be able to wake up for the next shift. Or maybe the person was under the stress and cannot fall asleep until she takes some sedatives. It is all about self-control or the way of living.
As for my own habits that may be contributing to lower quality of sleep, I have a few. I do not have a fixed time of going to the bed and sometimes it is the reason why I cannot fall asleep for a long time. Usually I am reading a book in the bed, and from the video we could learn that it is a bad idea, because the brain has to calm down. Additionally, sometimes I take a nap at the day time or do not sleep few nights in the row, moving the sleeping time to the day hours.
First of all, I have to change the environment in my bedroom and switch off the light at the night time. Secondly, I have to stop reading books in the bed to be more relaxed and have a better quality of sleep. The good idea that was presented in the video is to have the physical exercises in the morning or the second part of the day, because usually I am doing it in the evening and it could be the one of reasons of bad sleep. And the most important thing – I have to do my best to fix the sleeping hours, preferably to sleep at night and go to bed at the same time as well as waking up.
