I don't know about you but sometimes I find it difficult to stop what I am working on in the late evening. As a result, I go to bed after midnight or even 1 am! What can it hurt you say.
During my health challenge process I was taught rest especially during sleep is an important process to detox cells and cell renewal. - Rest helps give the body energy allowing for an increase focus and productivity.
- While sleeping the body can rid of waste material and repair cells.
- Those with diabetes especially need a good night rest.
Some tips to help wind down in the evening include: - Dim the lights.
- Turn off computers and television one hour before bedtime.
- Aim for lights out between 10pm and the latest midnight.
- If a big problem is keeping you awake write out the issue in your journal, pray, brainstorm some resolution ideas, and revisit in the morning.
- Give thanks for the day before bedtime.
- Listen to harp music before bedtime which is calming and soothing.
- Make sure phones and computers are far from your bed or even turn off the wi-fi at night.
In all, rest will help you cope with life stressors and tasks better. Lack of sleep and rest can result in a weakened immune system, fatigue and sluggishness. Self-care is so important and can give you a more productive life!
