Monitoring your sleep is very important to know its quality. After all, a bad night's sleep can lead to several problems, such as stress, anxiety, lack of attention and even contribute to weight gain. But it's not just that. If you don't sleep well for long periods, the consequences can be more serious.
Did you know that sleepless nights can increase your chances of being involved in serious accidents, such as traffic accidents? Additionally, they can cause you to develop chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, strokes and even depression, which are also symptoms of sleep deprivation.

But how to improve the quality of your sleep?
Firstly, create a sleep routine and make an effort to follow it every day, including on weekends, even if you have to give up your nights out and focus on going for walks during the day. This reminds us of another suggestion: expose yourself to the sun. This way, you can keep your circadian cycle in harmony and sleep better.
In addition to taking care of your routine, try listening to music to sleep, especially on busy days. To deal with sleep disorders, if this is your case, avoid caffeinated and alcoholic drinks before bed, exercise regularly and keep your room dark.
