Happy Friday Suvskiers. As we get older, what tends to happen is our quality of sleep begins to decline. It might be stress, busy schedules, or even the blue light from our screens, but one thing is certain—getting a good night's sleep has never been more important. Think about it: when we’re sleep-deprived, even the simplest tasks feel impossible. So, in this week’s newsletter, we’re diving into some practical, Suvski-approved tips to help you elevate your sleep game.
Toss That Phone Away: This might be the hardest one, but you have to put your phone away at least one hour before bedtime. You’ve heard of blue light from phones, but what exactly is it and how does it work? Your electronic screens emit different lights, but among all, blue light is the worst. Blue light from phones can affect sleep because it tricks the brain into thinking it's daytime, which can make it harder to fall asleep and wake up. It suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps you wind down and prepare for bed.
Have You Tried Magnesium: This is a Suvski favourite. Magnesium, available at most pharmacies, can help relax your muscles and calm your mind, making it easier to fall asleep. Many people find it helps improve sleep quality and reduces waking up during the night. It comes in different forms, this liquid one is our favourite. Always check with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
Your Bed Is For Sleeping Only: You should avoid laying in bed during the day because it may be the cause of your troubled sleep. Watching TikToks, going on your laptop, or working on your bed should be avoided. When you start doing activities during the day on your bed, your brain and body will associate your bed with being awake instead of a place to sleep.
Make Your Bed Comfy: Transform your bed into the ultimate sleep sanctuary. Invest in high-quality sheets with a thread count that feels luxurious against your skin. Whether it’s adding more supportive pillows, a lightweight blanket for breathability, or making your room cooler (if you like that), small upgrades can make a big difference. The goal is to create a space where you’re excited to unwind at the end of the day, making your bed a haven for relaxation and rest.
