Sleeping is the time when your brain releases chemicals that can help reduce health issues, manage hunger, balance out immune system and preserve memory.
If you're like us, you're wondering why doesn't the brain do it while we're awake as well? Unfortunately, that's how we're built so no use in complaining.
But those four reasons are more than enough to convince you to have a good night sleep and if you're having trouble sleeping, we bring you four tips that might help you out.
1. Eat Food Rich in Tryptophan
Although having a complex name, you can find tryptophan in all kinds of food like fish, beans, nuts, soya, and meat like lamb, pork or beef.
We need tryptophan because it creates melatonin--a hormone that regulates our sleep/wake cycles.
You can quickly get the food with grocery apps, just remember to eat at least an hour before as that's how long it takes the chemicals to do their magic.
2. Don't Have Last-Minute Wine
You heard that having a glass of wine is good for sleep. Although it is a good way to "lullaby" yourself, you shouldn't have it right before you hit the bed.
Alcohol hurts the deep sleep cycle and makes it restless, so although you'll fall asleep, your sleep might not be good.
Instead, have a moderate glass of wine around 6 p.m. so that the negative effects wear off.
3. Expose Yourself to Daylight
Our body is like a fine-tuned clock and if you mess with it, the clock will show the wrong time.
If we don't get enough of daylight, body gets confused and although you might know when it's time to sleep, your body doesn't.
Studies showed that for people with insomnia, daylight exposure improved their the time to fall asleep by 83%--not bad.
4. Listen to Low-Frequency Sounds
Ever wondered why loud noises are bad for sleep? Your brain reacts to sounds as alerts and the louder the sound, the more threatening it is.
That's why predictable and rhythmic sounds help you fall asleep because your brain depicts them as a sign of safety.
Low-frequency sounds and white noises can help, so try apps like Pzizz that are a collection of sleep-inducing sounds.
From food to daily activities--there are many ways to improve sleep and by doing everything correctly, your sleep can improve significantly.
After you had a healthy dose of sunlight and found the perfect tune to help you fall asleep, make sure your dinner includes the right food.
You can quickly get your hands on the ingredients and with The Best 10 Apps for Dinner Recipes, finding the perfect recipe becomes even easier.
We hope our tips help you and we wish you a good night.
