According to studies, up to 30-40% of adults have a sleep issue. Sleep disorders are becoming increasingly widespread as a result of the pandemic-related work from home (WFH) because of the lack of activity, long work hours, and loss of personal and professional boundaries.
During the epidemic, a sedentary lifestyle led to a lack of exercise. Endorphins, a feel-good hormone, are released during exercise. If done early in the day, exercise can also help you sleep.
Long work hours in WFH blur the line between personal and professional life, resulting in less family time and more stress.
When one is in a peaceful frame of mind, it is easier to sleep.
How to Deal with Sleep Issues
1. Stick to a strict sleep-wake schedule.
2. To darken the room, use blinds or blackout curtains. A colder bedroom (20-22 degrees Celsius) encourages sleep.
3. Avoid caffeine, smoking, and consuming alcohol.
4. Don’t use your bed for anything other than sleeping.
5. Exercising early in the day can help you sleep better. Exercise should be avoided three hours before night.
6. If possible, avoid napping after 3 p.m.
7. If you can’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, try reading a book or listening to relaxing music.
8. Take a warm bath or apply lavender oil before going to sleep to relax your body.
9. At least 2-3 hours before bedtime, avoid using blue-ray emitting devices such as smartphones or television.
