Five keys to relax and sleep better

You wait all day to rest and then, not succeed in extinguishing the mind is maddening. You do not fall asleep, even if you try.

If it happens to you one night, nothing happens; you recover But if it becomes usual, your immune system begins to be affected. Your diet changes, your mood and your clarity too. It's a cascade of negative events that they are screaming for you to sleep deeply to restart you.

Here, I share five allies to relax and sleep better:

1 Exercise daily: The US National Sleep Foundation's "Sleep" survey of 1,000 people aged 23 to 60 found that people who engage in physical activity are better off than those who do not. do not do it, even in cases where they slept the same number of hours at night.

2 Light dinner and at least three hours before going to sleep.

3 Sign out at least an hour before going to bed on social networks, Internet and everything related to electronic devices. These stimulate you and hinder your attempt to fall asleep. If you can not do it, you should really worry.

4 Leave the "waiting" written in a list for the next day instead of having them in your head, since the latter harms your mental tranquility.

5 Take a moment to think and thank for that good thing that happened during your day, this technique is great for letting go of your day, connecting with the good and relaxing.
