Hey again, don’t worry about last night!
Keep focused and follow the tips! We know you can do it!
Now onto our next tip. This can be a bit challenging for some people, but we know you will be able to do it!
When it comes to drinks, caffeine and alcohol are two biggest sleep stealers.
Drinking coffee or alcohol within 4 hours of bedtime may interfere with your sleep.
For this tip we want you to switch from regular coffee to decaf after 2pm – or simply avoid coffee altogether. Ditto for any caffeine-containing soft drinks or energy drinks (guarana drinks also contain caffeine).
Consider a better alternative, like our Sleepy Time Tea - a delicious, caffeine-free tea specially blended to promote a more deep and peaceful sleep.
And if you like to have a “night-cap” instead to help you sleep, you will be surprised to learn that alcohol does the complete opposite. It may feel in the short term that it is making you feel drowsy, but alcohol actually interferes with the sleep cycle as our body processes the substance. Alcohol can suppress rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is thought to be restorative and when dreaming occurs. REM sleep is also key to the maintenance of long term memory, so the alcohol can not only impact the quality of your sleep, but it can also have long-term repercussions on wellbeing! Avoid alcohol at least 4 hours prior to bedtime.
