Article: Ways to Improve Sleep
If you battle mental health issues like depression and anxiety, chances are pretty good that you
don’t always get the sleep you need. The problem is that sleep and mental health work hand in
hand. You get into a cycle where mental health issues interfere with sleep, and that lack of
sleep makes it harder to improve your mental health. As frustrating as this is, there are easy and
affordable ways to intervene on both fronts. By investing in inexpensive aids that help change
your sleep habits, you can get both your sleep and mental health back on track.
Optimize Your Sleep Space
While you still have to address other issues like stress, you may be surprised by how much of a
difference it can make to switch up your sleep space. For example, if ambient noises are to
blame, using a white noise machine not only helps you fall asleep but it can also keep you from
waking up frequently.
Along with noise, another issue many of us don’t think about is how light affects our sleep. As
NBC News suggests, one simple solution is to invest in a light bulb that emits soothing light in
the evening and a brighter light in the mornings. What this basically does is work with your
body’s circadian rhythm, which is highly affected by how much light exposure you get at
different times of the day.
In addition to addressing noise and light, take stock of your bedroom. Are there clothes tossed
everywhere? Stacks of books? Is your desk in your bedroom? Clutter and disarray can actually
hinder sleep, and they can carry a fair amount of negative energy. Do enhance your bedroom
for sleep, declutter and clean every corner, find a new home for your desk, and consider
investing in light-blocking curtains, cozy bedding and a decent mattress.
Get Help with Natural Remedies
Another way to address sleep issues and mental health at the same time is with natural
remedies. Lots of people with chronic insomnia use sleeping pills, but pharmaceuticals only
mask the problem and typically have side effects. An alternative solution is to use the power of
plants, such as lavender, valerian, and chamomile. One of the best ways to use these plans is
in the form of essential oils. Aromatherapy is highly effective and affordable, and because
essential oils are highly concentrated, one bottle can last several months or more.
Unwind and Reduce Stress Before Bed
As we said in the beginning, stress and mental health issues make a big difference in how well
you sleep. The way it affects sleep is only one example of how damaging stress can be. Stress
can also cause physical problems like headaches, and it can also increase the symptoms of
mental illness.
To prevent these problems and sleep better, we recommend trying relaxation techniques before
bedtime. These techniques, such as gentle breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, trigger
a relaxation response that lowers stress, which in turn helps your mind relax into sleep. All you
really need to do this is a comfortable, quiet space. However, adding an eye pillow infused with
lavender or a weighted blanket can make you feel even calmer.
Of course, one can’t really discuss relaxation techniques without discussing yoga and
meditation. These highly beneficial practices are considered some of the best methods for
achieving relaxation and reducing stress. Gentle yoga flows before bed can help you stretch
tired muscles and prepare your body for sleep, while meditation enables you to block out racing
thoughts and instead focus on the present moment. Many people even find that guided
meditation has a significant impact on better sleep.
The reality is that some of these solutions may be a better fit for you than others. That’s why it’s
a good idea to try several different sleep interventions. When stress is high and you feel like
you’re struggling, having a hard time sleeping is an added burden. These solutions aren’t one
size fits all, but when you find what works for you, stick with it for improvements in your sleep,
less stress, and better health overall!
For a deeper experience into relaxation and rejuvenation of the mind, body and soul, consider a
retreat at Lake Isles Retreats. In addition to yoga and meditation, we offer several packages that
include other therapies like massage.
