Are you Guilty of these 3 Daily Habits? Break them for More Fulfilling Sleep

It's important to disconnect from your busy day and not solely rely on the mind to find calm. Instead, Yogis recommend certain breathing exercises to balance the analytical left brain with the creative right brain, grounding you more effectively. One such technique is Alternate Nostril Breathing, particularly when incorporating a 3-second or longer breath hold between inhales and exhales. These exercises are essential for relaxation and improved sleep.

"The School of Breath" provides ancient breathing practices, such as Pranayama and Swara Yoga, empowering you to take control of your well-being. Practice Alternate Nostril Breathing with a 3-second hold for 3 to 5 minutes in the evening to promote relaxation and better sleep. Check out YouTube Channel "The School of Breath" to dive deeper into the science of breathing, practice along with breathing tutorials, and discover the most effective ways to master other powerful breathing techniques.

One of the most common daily habits affecting sleep quality is the excessive use of electronic devices, especially before bedtime. Exposure to blue light emitted by screens disrupts your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it difficult to fall asleep and achieve deep sleep. Additionally, the content you consume before bed stimulates your brain and can influence your subconscious mind.

It's essential to be selective with the information you consume before sleep, as the "Tetris effect" suggests that the last thing you focus on during the day lingers in your subconscious mind and dreams.

Solution: Limit screen time before bed and opt for relaxation techniques, such as guided meditations, Yoga Nidra, or abundance meditation from "Meditate with Abhi." These practices help calm the mind and set a positive tone for your subconscious as you drift off to sleep.

Your body’s natural internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm, regulates various bodily functions, including your sleep-wake cycle. Misalignment of this internal clock due to irregular exposure to natural light can lead to various sleep problems, including insomnia and daytime sleepiness. To adjust your circadian rhythm, it's crucial to expose yourself to natural light during the day and avoid artificial light at night. The best way to do this is by aligning yourself with the local sunrise and sunset, which can gradually improve your sleep quality.
