Sleep experts say these five daytime habits could be keeping you awake at night:
- Eating junk food. One study found that those who ate a diet high in sugar, saturated fats, and processed foods for a week had poorer quality sleep than those who followed a healthy diet.
- Sitting all day. We need to be active to save up homeostatic sleep drive, the 'hunger' for sleep that accumulates during the day when we're awake and active.
- Not getting sunlight, which throws off your circadian rhyhm.
- Taking naps. If you must nap, keep it under 30 minutes and before 3pm.
- Working in your bedroom, which prevents you from mentally preparing your sleep environment from your social environment.
