Improve your sleep: expert advice from Zenpur

Good sleep is essential for health and well-being. But what is good sleep and how can we improve it?

Understanding sleep
Sleep is not just rest, it's also essential for our physical and mental health. Good quality sleep can improve overall well-being. Here are some of the benefits of a good night's sleep:
1. You get sick less often.
2. Maintain a healthy weight.
3. Reduce the risk of serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
4. Reduce stress and improve mood.
5. Clearer thinking and better performance at school and work.
6. Get along better with people.


Tips for better sleep
A relaxing sleep environment:
1. Make your bedroom calm and comfortable.
2. The right mattress and a comfortable pillow are essential.
3. Respect your bedtime.
4. Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing and at a comfortable temperature.
5. Remove electronic devices such as televisions, computers and smartphones from the bedroom.
6. Avoid heavy meals, caffeine and alcohol before bedtime.
7. Exercise during the day!


Diet and physical activity
A balanced diet and regular physical activity can improve sleep quality. For example, exercise, such as running, stimulates serotonin (a hormone involved in the sleep-wake cycle), which can improve the brain's ability to metabolize serotonin and regulate sleep.

In addition, certain foods and beverages can promote better sleep by providing nutrients essential for sleep. Foods such as kiwi fruit, cherries, milk, oily fish, nuts and rice promote relaxation and sleep. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol and heavy meals before bedtime is essential to maintaining healthy sleep habits.
