World Sleep Day

 


World Sleep Day was created to understand the importance of sleep for a healthy mind and a healthy body. It educates everyone about sleep issues, medications, naps, and everything that has to do with sleep. Some people sleep better by taking naps. However, too many naps can mess up your sleep routine at night. Therefore, knowing what works for you to get a good rest is the best remedy.

As well as not over abusing sleep medications, natural herbs, and allergy medications. Certain allergy medications taken at night can disrupt your sleep. As well as not getting the right amount of sleep, you might feel drowsy the entire day until the allergy medication wears out of your system. Speak to your doctor or an allergy specialist about other alternatives for your allergies that keep you awake at night. Take a warm bath or shower before going to sleep.

Use a different shampoo at night for washing your hair. Additionally, you can sleep with a satin sleep cap to help you sleep at night especially if you suffer from allergies. If you have long hair, put your hair in braids and then the sleep cap before going to sleep. Use a mattress protector and a hypoallergenic pillow protector to avoid sneezing at night. Every two to three weeks, wash and dry your blankets, pillowcases, and sheets.

On March 18, you can bring awareness of World Sleep Day by donating to Sleep in Heavenly Peace where they give a bed to kids. Also, you can donate your old mattress before getting a new mattress. Furthermore, you can use the #WorldSleepDay on social media to bring awareness about the importance of sleep. If you use a sleep app, you can share your favorite sleep app on social media. Below are links for World Sleep Day and tips for better sleep.
