by | May 10, 2022 | Nutritional Counseling

Sleeping habits will play a major role in how rested you feel, as well as the pains that come along with poor habits. If you are prone to getting off your schedule or have trouble falling asleep most nights, a ton of others deal with the same thing. Here are some helpful tips to get on track with your sleep habits and ensure your highest quality of sleep is achieved.

 

Why am I sore every morning?

 

This doesn’t just come down to the position you sleep in. Overall, a ton of factors are at play for why you are sore each morning or evening. Take into account the amount of downtime you have before bed. Are you using a tablet/phone, or watching television often? Do you sleep on the couch often? These will all play a role in your sleeping habits.

 

Routine stretching and relaxation time

 

Finding the time for yourself to relax and prepare for sleep is difficult for most. Starting small is a great way to get back on track, even if it’s just 10-15 minutes set aside to meditate or stretch out your lower back. Otherwise, just cutting down screen time is a worthy pursuit also.

 

Overall, sleep habits come down to routine. If you aren’t in a routine, you can expect your sleep quality to suffer. Take that extra few minutes a day to make sure you sleep soundly through the night, and relax your body as best you can.
