Six Special Sleep tips! Try this sleep quiz...
1.To help your body go to sleep, which is better, a or b? a) Go to bed at the same time, every night - including at weekends. b) Vary the time that you go to bed - it makes no difference. 2. Exercise is great for keeping healthy, but when it comes to helping you sleep which is better, a or b? a) Exercise during the daytime and at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. b) Exercise just before you go to bed, because it will tire you out. 3. Now a question about eating and drinking before bedtime. Which is better, a or b? a) Only have a small snack and a small drink before bedtime - and not too close to bedtime. b) Have lots to eat and drink before bedtime, so that you won't be hungry in the night. 4. This next question is about activities to do before bedtime. Which is better, a or b? a) Do relaxing things in the hour before bedtime - such as reading a book or listening to music. b) Play some games and keep busy in the hour before bedtime, so that you'll be tired out. 5. Which of these helps us to sleep better, a or b? a) Dim the lights, switch off all screens (tablets, TVs etc.) at least an hour before bedtime and relax - best of all in a darkened room. b) Play some computer games before bedtime to tire your brain out. 6. And the last question - which is better, a or b? a) Try to get sunlight for part of the time during the daytime, so that your body knows when it's night time. That could be sitting near a window for part of the day, especially in the morning. b) Don't worry about getting any daylight during the day - it doesn't make any difference. How did you get on with the sleep quiz? I hope it provided lots of tips on how to get a goodnight’s sleep. |
