important than I think a lot of people
think club everyone loves to sleep so I

rest of the videos that i haven't

for sponsoring this video and for

sleep health and learn a lot of new
things that I didn't know before so
that's all in today's video we're going
to be talking about things that you all
do wrong during your night routine and
also kind of life hacks to improve your
night routine be sure to follow me on
instagram and also over on my blog
channel down below for more behind the
scenes and just tips and tricks and
things I'm going through on this journey
of sleep helps to go do that also let me
know if you took me up on my count just
like 48 hours a night every night this
month's let me know down below in the
comments how you guys are doing on that
I'm doing pretty well you know it's more
of an excuse to sleep in so it's really
nice
yeah without further ado let's get right
into the video so the first mistake
you're probably making is not replacing
your mattress if you don't know how old
your mattress is it's probably too old a
lot of people don't realize that you
should replace your mattress every eight
years because of the build-up of sweat
dust and dead skin that accumulates in
your bed like that's actually discussing
your body also changes and what felt
comfortable eight years ago may not be
comfortable today so be sure to check
your mattress tag and if it is more than
eight years old it is time to replace it
is really no one-size-fits-all mattress
solution people actually have varying
issues that they're looking for their
mattress to solve whether they have back
pain disorders etc mattress firm for
example offers a wide selection of
mattresses to fit your individual sleep
style and your body type and also to
figure lifestyle and budget so i highly
suggest you need to replace your
mattress go to mattress firm the sales
associates are there to help guide you
through the Masters buying process every
step of the way so i highly recommend
going there
but by explaining the features and
benefits of each mattress and helping
you actually narrow down your choices
they help you get closer to finding the
right one
so definitely go do that next step is to
find a new pillow and a pillow that is
right for you so it's important to keep
in mind how you sleep when you're
choosing a pillow because just like a
mattress not every pillow is right for
every person you need to have your body
properly aligned in the bed while you
use your pillow and depending on whether
you're a tummy person decide person or a
back sleeper you'll find there are
several choices out there when choosing
the best pillow for your sleep habits i
personally love the super soft ones i
can kind of cuddle with my sleep on it
makes for a great night sleep next thing
you're probably not doing correctly is
keeping a regular bedtime staying up
later than usual may seem inevitable in
the weekend but doing so and trying to
make up for it by sleeping in the next
morning we'll only disrupt the balance
between your everyday sleep routine and
your circadian rhythm
personally I love to use the bedtime
feature on my alarm clock on my phone
and I'm sure there are plenty of other
apps to that can help you stay
accountable and go to bed at the same
time they'll remind you that it's close
to your bedtime on weekends to avoid the
struggle of adjusting back to your
weekly routine try to get in bed as
close to your regular bedtime is
possible i know this is super hard
especially for me but I do promise it'll
help you feel so much more rested and
it'll just overall make you feel a lot
better so that's what i think is a
pretty common misconception a lot of
people think alcohol is a great way to
actually promote good sleep as you have
a drink before bed and it knocks you out
but actually just the opposite while
alcohol may help you fall asleep it also
interferes with your overall sleep
quality and worsens any existing sleep
disorder so try to drink in moderation
and avoid drinking two to three hours
before bedtime
this next one I hate because I do it
myself so much we just got a dog and
basically the biggest mistake people
make is sleeping with their pets
I know you love snuggling with your dog
or your cat but when your pet is tired
of struggling and starts were more per
bark if your sleep that will suffer
that's also often drag pollen and animal
dander into the bad witch just further
disrupt your sleep because you may get
allergies and it's just not good so try
to avoid it even though I know this one
part especially when they give you those
puppy-dog eyes or lips
really impossible to resist it's like oh
my god how can you not sleep with that
but just try this next thing that people
do wrong
very often is that they don't plan out
their next day the night before now you
don't have to do this but I really think
it helps you to get a better night's
sleep because you're not constantly
thinking about what you have to do
tomorrow
you know that when you wake up in the
morning first thing you're totally ready
to go
you're not ancient cannot stress this is
really helped me to get a better night
sleep and us you try to
hello and welcome to my literal biggest
problem with my entire life which is
snoozing now this is definitely what
most people are doing wrong and I
included am definitely doing it wrong
you might think that snooze button in
your best friend but forcing yourself to
drift in and out of sleep in short
increments of time actually disrupt the
natural sleep cycle and makes it way
harder for you to wake up and we are
free to feel rested so if you can try to
avoid the snooze button you'll also find
the ones you just get up the first time
it's actually really refreshing and you
don't regret that you did it's just a
little bit painful while you're doing it
last but certainly not least is a
mistake that so so many people make i
know i did all throughout college and
that is napping after 4pm if you do so
it'll definitely decrease your chances
of falling asleep later on and if you
must map during the day try to keep it
under 30 minutes and do so in the early
afternoon I no napping can feel so good
and definitely be a lifesaver
so just make sure that you're napping at
the right time but you're not groggy
throughout the rest of your day
