Going off that blue light tangent we had above, it might be wise to invest in some blue light-blocking glasses. If you need glasses anyway, might as well make them block blue lights more.

 

 

Sleep With Your Feet Exposed

Temperature plays a big deal when it comes to sleep quality. But one thing others might not realize is that the bottoms of our feet play a big role in sleep quality too.

The bottoms of our feet are hairless and contain special heat-beating vascular structures. What this means is that they are designed to cool our body down. And a cool body is conducive to better sleep.

 

 

Avoid Long Naps If Possible

Naps have benefits that shouldn’t be ignored. They boost mood, performance, and memory. But you don’t want to go too crazy with them. Napping is still getting sleep in some way and when used excessively, it can mess with your entire sleep schedule. If you need to take a nap, aim for it to be 10 minutes long.

 

 

Put On A Sleep Mask

The last suggestion we’ve got is putting on a sleep mask. While some people think they can be excessive or indulgent, they do play a purpose.

The point of a sleep mask isn’t to be fashionable, but to provide more darkness. This is ideal for rooms where you lack blackout shades or if your room is still kind of bright at night.
