- Using mint toothpaste.
If you want to fall asleep quickly and easily, you might need to consider getting a new toothpaste. The fact is that most toothpastes have a pleasant mint aroma. It’s known that scents can have either a stimulating or a calming effect on our nervous system. Studies have shown that mint scent is one of the most invigorating odors. That’s why mint toothpaste is great for brushing your teeth in the morning, but it’s better to choose a toothpaste with a strawberry or pine flavour for your evening routine.
- Smoking before bed.
Many people are accustomed to thinking that a cigarette helps calm nerves and relieve stress, thus improving sleep quality. But in fact, nicotine can be one of the reasons for poor sleep. Therefore, if you want to be productive in the morning, give up smoking before bed and the process of falling asleep will go much better.
- Charging electronic devices.
Even if you follow all the important rules for using gadgets—like not scrolling through social media until midnight, not checking email before bed, and not keeping your smartphone next to your pillow—their influence can still ruin your sleep. It turns out that even dim light emitted by your devices can disrupt healthy sleep. Therefore, try to charge your devices after work in the evening or in the morning. If you still need to charge your devices only at night, simply charge them in rooms other than where you sleep.
- Very warm blankets and pajamas.
Research shows that most people enjoy wearing warm pajamas and cocooning themselves in a thick blanket. While this provides a sense of comfort, increased body temperature under layers of warm fabric can lead to sleep disturbances. As a result, you may find yourself waking up frequently, tossing and turning in bed while trying to find a comfortable position, which negatively affects sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended wearing pajamas that are not too warm and choose a blanket depending on the season, but you should not be cold either, because this factor also negatively affects sleep.
- Uncontrolled tv watching.
There are often situations where a person spends two hours at night in front of the TV, only to regret it in the morning for not using that time for proper rest. To avoid such situations, it’s essential to learn how to prioritize and manage your time effectively. It is difficult to achieve when you mindlessly flip through channels, but if you select and download a movie or show in advance, it becomes much easier. Once you learn to control your movie-watching time, you’ll feel much better in the morning.
- Flower scents.
The scent of flowers in a room can disrupt sleep for several reasons. First, some odors can be too intense and cause discomfort and make it difficult to fall asleep. Second, strong aromas can irritate the respiratory system, especially in people with allergies or asthma, leading to restless sleep. Additionally, certain scents can trigger emotional reactions or memories that may be distressing. As a result, unpleasant sensations can disrupt sleep or even cause insomnia. Therefore, if you want to have flowers in your room, they should be with or without a light pleasant aroma so that you can get a good night’s sleep.
All these factors negatively affect your nightly rest, leaving you feeling unproductive in the morning and unable to focus on work tasks. In such cases, consider taking Artvigil and Modavigil, which can help restore your attention and boost your productivity throughout the day.
