Sound familiar? It\u2019s time for a wake-up call. When you don\u2019t get enough sleep, it messes with your overall health, memory, and ability to lose weight. And since sleep is when your body is in repair mode, a lack of sleep can totally compromise your skin. One <a href=\"http:\/\/news.uhhospitals.org\/news-releases\/esteeacute-lauder-clinical-trial-finds-link-between-sleep-deprivation-and-skin-aging.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 study<\/a> even found that poor sleepers showed more visible signs of aging, such as fine lines.\n\nBut it\u2019s not all doom and gloom. Scientists have pinpointed a few easy lifestyle changes that can have a major impact on the quality of your sleep. Keep reading to find out what to do to sleep better tonight!\n<h2>7 Ways TO Sleep Better<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Put Socks On<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"5b5b5f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #5b5b5f;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4059 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-socks.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing socks to sleep better with headphones and phone\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nResearch shows that the more the blood vessels in your hands and feet dilate (called vasodilation), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/43366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the faster you fall asleep<\/a>. So how do you facilitate vasodilation? Put on some socks. This helps optimize your body temperature for sleeping, because it helps with blood flow and heat distribution that signals to your brain that it\u2019s time to snooze.\n<h3><strong>Keep a \u201cWorry Journal\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"c6cdd4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c6cdd4;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4060 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-notebook.jpg\" alt=\"A worry journal to sleep better\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nStress makes it hard to turn your brain off and relax. It\u2019s a vicious cycle, because if you don\u2019t get enough sleep your body <a href=\"https:\/\/sleep.org\/articles\/sleep-and-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">produces more stress hormones<\/a>. To combat this, try keeping a \u201cworry journal.\u201d It\u2019s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Designate a notebook as your journal, then write down the things that are causing you anxiety before you go to bed. You can also write down the ideas you have to help resolve those issues. Studies have shown that writing things down helps clear them out of your brain, which can help when your brain obsesses over stressors. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n<h3><strong>Turn Down the Temperature<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"afafae\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #afafae;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4061 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-cold.jpg\" alt=\"A cup of hot tea and a book with scarf in winter window setting.\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/>\n\nThere&#8217;s an optimal temperature for sleeping: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleep.org\/articles\/temperature-for-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">between 60-67 degrees<\/a> Fahrenheit. When you get tired, your internal temperature drops. A cool environment can help trigger a sleepy response in your brain. Conversely, if your room is too hot it can mess with your body\u2019s temperature regulation and make for some seriously restless sleep. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18603220\">studies<\/a> have even linked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/bedtime-latte-recipes\/\">insomnia<\/a> to poor temperature regulation in the body.\n<h3><strong>Get Your Exercise In<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"cfba9a\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #cfba9a;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4062 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-exercise.jpg\" alt=\"A woman stretching before working out wearing headphones and a fitness tracking watch. \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nExercise has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1755296611000317\">proven<\/a> to help people sleep better at night and feel more alert during the day. Aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise per week (only two and a half hours).\n\nAnd it doesn\u2019t matter what time of day you work out, says science. Exercise increases your core temperature and tells your body to release adrenaline; people believed this make it hard to wind down. But new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20673290\">research<\/a> suggests that late-night exercise doesn\u2019t upset your sleep quality. (Read: There&#8217;s no excuse to skip your after-work sweat sesh.) One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/press-release\/national-sleep-foundation-poll-finds-exercise-key-good-sleep\">poll<\/a> even found that 83 percent of people who exercise say they sleep better than people who don&#8217;t work out at all.\n\nHowever, if you find that you feel wired when you work out at night, listen to your body. Give yourself a pad of a three-to-four hours between your workout and your bedtime to let your body calm down.\n<h3><strong>Stick to a Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"78b7da\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #78b7da;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4063 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-alarm.jpg\" alt=\"A retro looking clock in front of a blue background.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nWe know, we know: Weekends are for binge-watching Netflix shows. But in the name of better sleep, you\u2019ve got to learn when to cut yourself off. Research shows that going to bed and waking up at the same time every day help you get a more restful night of sleep. Why? It helps keep your body\u2019s sleep cycles (aka circadian system) functioning smoothly.\n<h3><strong>Set the Mood<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"a39295\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #a39295;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4064 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-lavender.jpg\" alt=\"Lavender aromatherapy essential oils, bath salts and fresh lavender.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nA lavender aromatherapy oil, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.net-a-porter.com\/us\/en\/product\/440488\/This_Works\/deep-sleep-night-oil-120ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Works Deep Sleep Night Oil<\/a>, will help create a relaxing, stress-free environment for sleep. Smelling lavender oil decreases autonomic arousal. In plain terms terms, inhaling it helps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22612017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decrease your heart rate<\/a>. One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16298774\">study<\/a> reports that people sleep more deeply after sniffing lavender oil than those who sniff distilled water.\n<h3><strong>POP a Supplement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img data-dominant-color=\"d1c3bc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d1c3bc;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4065 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/sleep-better-melatonin.jpg\" alt=\"Woman lying in bed with a sleep mask on and long brown hair. \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\nTry melatonin. It\u2019s a natural hormone that our bodies produce that helps us sleep. Typically, your brain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK11941\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">releases more melatonin at night<\/a>. Taking a melatonin supplement like HUM&#8217;S <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/18\/beauty-zzzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beauty zzZz<\/a>\u00a0can help <a href=\"https:\/\/nccih.nih.gov\/health\/melatonin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reduce the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep.<\/a> It\u2019s also amazing if you have jet lag or work night shifts, since it can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK11941\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regulate a disrupted circadian rhythm<\/a>.\n<div
