Habits That Are Silent Sleep Killers

Did I just hear you say, ‘What harm could one extra cup of coffee do?’ Zie says–A LOT! That extra cup, that one last reel, that mini panic attack right before bed because, um, where did my favorite red top go?! Yeah… they’re the real Michael Myers–monsters of your sleep, so to speak. Whether it’s Friday the 13th or just a random Wednesday, these little habits have to stop–because they are straight-up killing your beauty sleep:

Blue Light Blues

Ever found yourself doom-scrolling before bedtime? That hypnotizing world of Instagram kept you up till 2 AM again, didn’t it? Ugh, that social media grip is REAL! But it is not just about losing track of time–the blue light from your screen literally blocks melatonin production (aka your sleep hormone).

A girl must fight! And no, I don’t mean gearing up with blue-light filter glasses–I mean putting that phone away. Still can’t sleep? Hmmmm… let’s fix that! Upgrade your sleep game with a high-quality mattress like The UltimaMemory Foam Mattress–designed to give you chef’s kiss spinal alignment and contour perfectly to your body. The moment you lie down, you’ll melt into a sweet dream. The 7-zone support gives you targeted support, while the CoolTEC™ fabric keeps you up to 4° cooler. 

Excessive Caffeine Consumption 

I drank three mugs of coffee! I’m just a girl! 😩 But honestly–this exact habit is sabotaging your sleep. Try cutting down your caffeine intake by midday so you can actually sleep peacefully. Ideally, you should avoid coffee at least 5-6 hours before bedtime.

And yea, coffee is not the onlyculprit–did you know other beverages have caffeine too? Stay away from those sneaky caffeine-packed drinks and swap them for sleep-friendly beverages like chamomile or jasmine tea. They help boost melatonin production so that you do not have to toss and turn all night!

Restlessness and Discomfort

Life can be quite stressful at times but it can have several negative effects, especially on your sleep. Stress and anxiety are the modern-day monsters under the bed. Stress does not leave room for rest and leads to sleepless nights. Try practicing mindful bedtime habits to ensure you get that restorative rest. From meditation and breathing techniques to journaling, these all can help you sleep better by keeping your stress and anxiety under control. 

Small habits can make a huge impact and it is important that you check them before it’s too late.
