Three Easy Ways to get a Good Night’s Sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep is not just good for those pesky workdays. Sleeping well helps you build up your immune system so you can fight infections better, lowers your blood pressure, helps you focus at work so you can be more productive, elevates your mood and reduces incidents of depression or anxiety, and can help your body carry out the restorative activities that it needs to. Whew! All that, with just one night of shut-eye! Amazing, isn’t it?

However, not all of us is fortunate enough to get a good night’s sleep every night. Millions of individuals today suffer from insomnia, anxiety and other disorders that prevent them from getting a good night’s sleep. Not only does this affect their mental well-being, but also affects their performance at work and their body’s capability to heal.

Most sufferers desperate to get a good night’s rest are willing to try just about anything to see if they can sleep better. We believe that non-invasive and non-addictive alternatives to sleep medication can go a long way in ensuring a good night’s rest. Here are the 3 things we believe can get you some shut-eye—fast!

1. Reading a book at bedtime

It is a well-known fact that reading can help you sleep better. According to a survey conducted by Metro, nearly 50% of the respondents who read a book before going to sleep noticed that it helped them sleep better, relax and helps them focus on tasks that need an eye for detail. Get those books out!

2. Wearing socks to bed

Although this might seem funny, but according to scientists wearing socks to bed promotes vasodilation, which reportedly sends a signal to our brain saying that it is bedtime. Give it a shot, get your polka-dotted socks out tonight!

3. Using a CPAP machine

Although for most of us, snoring is a sign that we’re asleep, but science says otherwise. Chronic snorers may be suffering from diseases such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea –  a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to potentially life-threatening conditions such as foggy memory, depression, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Using a CPAP machine helps you sleep better by maintaining a positive airway pressure—which means that you get more air into your lungs, helping your brain and your body with the life-giving oxygen it needs.

In India, CPAP machines by manufacturers such as ResMed are brought to you by Sanrai – an innovative global distributor of medical products that are focused to ensure your good health. Sanrai puts its focus on ensuring quality products, timely service, and a world-class support system that is there for you when you need it the most.
