Sleep hacks this World Sleep Day

Adopt healthier habits with these sleep hacks for better health, mood and productivity.  

1. Get outside, early.  Expose yourself to daylight as soon as possible after waking up to improve mood, reduce tiredness through the day and help you fall asleep quicker at night. 

2. Shift your evening meal.  Leave at least two hours between your last bite to eat and the moment your head hits the pillow.

3. Watch out for social jet lag.  Going to bed and waking up later at the weekends can have the same negative health impacts as jet lag. These irregular sleep patterns can result in poor sleep quality, imbalanced hormones, low mood, reduced mental performance and even chronic illness.

4. Eat sleep-promoting foods.  Kiwis, whole milk, almonds and chia seeds are all high in Tryptophan, which plays a role in the production of sleep-regulating Melatonin. This essential amino acid is also vital for a wide variety of metabolic functions that affect your mood, cognition, and behaviour.
