A good night's sleep is meant to leave you feeling healthy, refreshed and ready to conquer the world. However, very often we fail to fall asleep or even if we do, the feeling of tiredness won´t go away… One of the biggest mistakes people make before falling asleep is checking their social media feed. This might keep you browsing through web pages for a long time. By the way, research has shown that the more time people spend on screen-based activities, the more trouble they have falling asleep. Another mistake is making a ponytail. This makes your hair weak, damages it in the long run. Damaged hair is fragile and tends to break easily.

– Anyone with long hair might think that sleeping with a ponytail protects it from getting tangled or damaged;
– Apart from losing hair, people with traction alopecia might experience itching, redness of the scalp, and flaky patches;
– But keep in mind, it’s not only about ponytails. Tight buns or braids, and even sleeping with rollers, can also be harmful to your mane;
– Having a pre-bedtime snack full of protein and fiber boosts your metabolism, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight;
– Sleeping on your stomach puts additional strain on your spinal cord and back, which doesn’t allow your muscles to relax during rest;
– Taking gadgets to bed means poor sleep since the blue light they emit slows the production of melatonin;
– Doing vigorous physical exercises makes you feel more alert and awake, making it hard to doze off;
– Light stretching can help you with warding off leg cramps at night;
– Leaving water overnight might give it a bad taste. This happens when carbon dioxide starts mixing with the water;
– Sharing a bed with a pet is especially not advised for elderly people;
– Hair is the weakest when it’s wet so, when you toss and turn in your bed, it creates friction and causes breakage;
– Your face touches a pillowcase for much longer than any other fabric. That’s why getting a silk one is important if you want to keep your face looking good;
– It’s so important to learn how to relax and prepare yourself mentally for bedtime. Animation is created by Bright Side.
