6 Ways to Love Your Sleep

Valentine’s Day is all about love! While most of us think about our sweethearts, CPAP Central encourages you to love your sleep this February by doing the following six things:

  1. Cut the tobacco.

 

We all know that tobacco is bad for our lungs and cardiovascular system, but did you know it’s also bad for your sleep? It can speed up our hearts, making it easier to wind down at night.

 

  1. Cool off the room.

 

With that nasty polar vortex that hit the country this season, you probably found yourself cranking up the heat. But did you know that could be bad for your sleep? You want the room to be cooler than what is comfortable when you are awake. This induces the body to go into a deeper sleep, like a hibernating bear!

 

  1. Get rid of the glow.

 

Turn your digital alarm clock around and your cell phone face-down. Even small glowing lights in your room can be bad for your overall sleep!

 

  1. No more blue lights.

 

While you’re at it, make sure that you cut out all “blue light” for an hour before bed. Those are the lights that come off of laptops, TVs and cell phones. Instead, read or listen to music or podcasts as you fall asleep.

 

  1. Cut the nightcap.

 

There’s nothing quite like a glass of wine to get you sleepy at night, but alcohol can take a negative toll on your quality of sleep. It will wake you up in the middle of the night after the effects wear off, or can cause you to not fall into as deep of a sleep as you need.

 

  1. Stay CPAP Compliant.

If you have sleep apnea, one of the best ways to love your sleep is to continue using your CPAP equipment regularly! Not only will you wake up refreshed, you will also stave off a whole host of other health problems that come with OSA.

At CPAP Central, we value a good night’s rest. If it’s time to restock your CPAP supplies, you can find everything you need on our online catalog.
