Everyone feels better after a good night’s sleep, but with modern demands
placed on our time it can be very challenging to accomplish. Maybe you spend
your nights tossing and turning with worry about business deadlines. You might
wake up groggy to get your kids off to school, or you simply feel like a long nap is
mandatory for survival. If you have any, or all, of these feelings please keep
reading. The HealthyCell team is here to help you get better sleep!

One thing to understand is that sleep is about giving your body time to repair
itself. Not getting a restful sleep can have a damaging effect on your cognitive
abilities, physical function, and immune system. Cells use this time to repair
damaged DNA inflicted by the toxins, pollutants, and free radicals you encounter
every day. When you miss out on your recovery period, a restful sleep, you will
feel lethargic, unfocused, and increased levels of stress and anxiety. Lack of
sleep also contributes to digestive problems, unwanted weight gain, and even
diabetes.

... How can you get a better night’s sleep? The team at HealthyCell is here to help.
Take action on the tips below and you will start sleeping and felling better in no
time!

1. Rethink Your Bedroom
You don’t have to hire Jeff Lewis Design or go all-out Zen, but you
should clear out any clutter in your bedroom. A busy environment
can create unwanted stimulation at bedtime.

2. Make Your Bed (in the Morning)
Making your bed first thing in the morning will give you a quick
sense of accomplishment to start the day and getting into a clean
made bed is a more relaxing way to wind down.

3. Turn Off Your Mobile Devices in Bed
Using your smartphones and iPads in bed creates stimulation that
can result in sleep problems. You should try to get in the habit of
turning off all of your devices an hour before bed and give your
body the time it needs to wind down peacefully. Your phone battery
depletes and needs a recharge, and so do you.

4. Create a Bedtime Ritual
Train your body by doing the same thing each night to wind down.
You might take a warm bath, listen to soothing music, or simply
think about the positive things you accomplished that day.



5. Stop Snoozing
You might feel like catching a few extra minutes of sleep in the
morning with the snooze button is a good thing, but the sleep you
catch in-between alarms is not high-quality sleep and can make
you feel even groggier.

6. Exercise Regularly
You don’t need to run a marathon or train like a body builder, but
we do recommend a nice walk in the morning, skipping the elevator
to take the steps at work, and parking in the back of the lot when
shopping. Adding in these extra steps per day can go a long way to
helping you sleep more soundly.

7. Eat More Whole Foods
We often forget that food is more than entertainment or something
to shut down the rumble in the stomach as we are meeting our
busy schedules. Food is fuel for the body, and much of the food we
put into our body today is processed and contains only a fraction of
the healthy benefits our bodies need to function properly. Eating
more whole foods can also decrease our chances of diabetes,
heart disease, and even cancer.

All of us here at HealthyCell want you to get the most out of your days, and it is
vital for you to maximize your sleep at night to accomplish that goal. A few simple
changes to your environment and routines can have a very positive impact on the
quality and quantity of your sleep. You might not notice these changes
immediately, but give it a try for a few weeks and we are confident that your
body, and those around you, will thank you for it.
