FIVE THINGS YOU MUST AVOID BEFORE SLEEPING AT NIGHT



Do you Want a better sleeping experience? Here is a list of five things you must avoid before sleeping At Night.These are very simple and practical tips that can help and ensure you get a good night’s sleep. Though, the list is not a comprehensive one,but it is definitely easy to apply and understand.
Watching TV

Many have the habit of watching TV and falling asleep while doing so. Not only is it a criminal waste of electricity, it also deprives you of a good night’s sleep. Any source of light tends to keep you awake and longer. Besides, you tend to remain active longer and only when you are very tired, you might fall asleep. So, when it’s time to sleep, never resort to TV/your smartphone as a sleeping aid.

Eating Heavy / Sugary Foods

It is important to eat at least 3 – 4 hours before bedtime. Many say they wake up hungry this way and snacking just before bed helps them sleep longer. That’s not how it works. Eating anything for that matter means, your stomach should do its work. If it is heavy, like a pizza, your stomach will go on frenzy trying to digest it. Sugary foods tend to increase blood sugar and give an energy boost. These things will mean one thing – your body is relaxed and is probably active. How can you sleep then? Dinner should always be a light and healthy one, so you can sleep without nightmares!

Cold Showers   

A warm shower about an hour before bedtime can really put you to sleep. On the other hand, a cold water shower will mean it’s time to WAKE UP! So third on your things to avoid before sleeping list is to never take a cold water shower just before hitting the bed.

Exercise

Exercising is a good thing and when done once you get up, gives you’re the energy boost required and keeps you fresh all day. On the other hand, if you do it at night, you are going to trigger adrenalin rush and release of other “feel good” hormones. By doing this, the energy level will hit a high and you can’t sleep. So never exercise prior to bedtime.

Drinking Liquids

Many wake up in the middle of the night, because they want to use the washroom. Water or anything cold just before going to the bed is the culprit. Ensure you don’t drink any liquids before going to bed and make sure to visit the bathroom, before hitting the bed. If you are not a diabetic, there’s no reason for you to wake up at night for using the washroom! so, drinking liquids, whether water or anything is your last item on your list of the things to avoid before sleeping.
I hope you have learnt something New here?

HPV is a different virus than   HIV   and   HSV   (herpes). HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women get it at some point in their lives. There are over 100 strains of HPV, but only about 15 are known as harmful HPV types. It’s important to note that detecting the HPV virus in a sample of people who have oral cancer, doesn’t mean that HPV caused the cancer. Rather, the virus becomes part of the genetic material of the cancer cells, which triggers them to grow. In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer. Typically, HPV found in the mouth is sexually...

They both tackled it." The biology graduate from Romsey, Hampshire, was taking an early morning drive through the park when she came across the rare scene and pulled out her camera. "I think I had been driving for a...
