Tips for improving sleep

Don’t Go to Bed Too Hungry

When you feel hungry, your cortisol levels rise, which can reduce your sleep quality. To avoid this, aim to have your last meal at least three hours before bed. This way, your digestion won’t interfere with your sleep, but you also won’t go to bed hungry.

Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can shorten your sleep time or reduce its quality. Drinking plenty of water during the day can help reduce hunger and make it easier to fall asleep at night. However, avoid drinking large amounts of water right before bed to minimize the need to wake up during the night.

Be Mindful of Caffeine and Alcohol

While caffeine may suppress your appetite, it can also disrupt your sleep. Similarly, alcohol not only negatively affects metabolism and can lead to nutritional deficiencies, but it also interferes with sleep.
