3. Taking a hot water bath 45 minutes before hitting the bed.
To help you sleep better and faster, you would want your core body temperature to drop by 1 degree.
When you take a hot water bath, your blood vessels open up and a lot of blood comes up to the surface area. And this process helps to drop your body temperature by 1 degree.
Research has also found that sleeping in a room of about 18 to 19 degrees is the most optimal to help you generate sleep faster and better.
4. Classical Conditioning
This process involves conditioning your mind through a certain set of activities done 1 hour before sleep to help you fall asleep.
For example, if I go to sleep at 10.30 pm, from 9.30 pm onwards, I will have a list of 4 to 5 activities set up which I make sure to follow every single day. This way, I’m classically conditioning my mind that after the end of these 4 activities, I need to fall asleep immediately.
My sleep schedule mostly consists of doing laundry, meal prepping for the next day, taking a hot shower, gratitude practices, stretching, etc.
And since this is something I follow on a daily basis, my body is now conditioned to fall asleep at the same time.
