Sunday Sleep can Make for a Better Monday, Experts say

sundayThe American Academy of Sleep Medicine has found out that the quality of your sleep on Sunday can affect your overall functioning on Mondays. Sleepless Sundays can often lead to lousy Mondays because weekends often throw off our biological clocks. 

On Sundays, avoid going to bed unless you are sleepy. If you are not sleepy on a Sunday night, do something relaxing such as reading or listening to soft music. You can also start rituals that help you relax on Sunday night before bed. This can include such things as a warm bath or a light snack.

Sunday is not only for napping. You can actually have good quality sleep if you exercise on Sundays. Also, reserve your bed for activities such as sleeping and making love. Avoid watching TV, reading, writing, talking on the phone or playing cards while in bed. Avoid worrying about problems while in bed.

Avoid coffee, tea or any caffeinated drinks after lunch. Within six hours of your bedtime, avoid consuming beer, wine or any alcoholic drinks.

Make your bed conducive for sleeping. Keep your room dark, cool and quite during bedtime. Liken your room to a cave.

If all these cannot still make you sleep, have yourself evaluated at a local sleep clinic. Sleep doctors can properly diagnose and treat sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea and insomnia.
