3 mistakes that prevent you from getting enough sleep

Sleep is crucial for our body and health, so you shouldn't make these three mistakes that make your sleep poor.

A dream, what could be simpler? Unfortunately, this is a mistake: more and more people suffer from sleep disorders and cannot get a good night's sleep at all. The good news is that even small changes in your daily routine can help you get a good night's sleep. Here are three expert tips on which mistakes to avoid.

Sleep mistake #1: Evening sports

“Training in the evening? Time really does matter: exercising in the evening can make you fall asleep faster. But there should be a three-hour break between lifting the barbell and going to bed, otherwise the level of the hormone cortisol in the blood will be too high, which will prevent restful sleep.”

Sleep mistake #2: Incorrect position

Most people don't like sleeping with their legs outstretched. However, sitting for a long time in the office shortens the muscles of the trunk and, therefore, in order to feel comfortable, you need to stretch the trunk. Therefore, if you have back pain, it may be useful for you to adopt such a position that would stretch the spine as much as possible.

Sleep mistake #3: Just a minute...

Hit the snooze button to get another ten minutes of sleep? Very tempting, but, unfortunately, harmful. To get enough sleep, you need much more time, and an additional 10 minutes will only confuse the hormonal system. Therefore, either completely refuse the snooze function, or sleep until you wake up yourself.
