Enhancing Sleep Quality During Intermittent Fasting
To improve sleep quality during fasting, it’s crucial to manage your eating and sleeping habits carefully.
Mind Your Eating Window
Finish eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to prevent digestion from interfering with sleep.
Exercise Timing
Light exercises like yoga or stretching in the evening can help you wind down, but avoid intense workouts right before bed.
USA-Specific Sleep Strategies
Many USA households incorporate sleep-enhancing foods like kiwi or warm milk before bedtime, both of which help increase serotonin and melatonin levels.
Additionally, try using essential oils like lavender, widely available in US stores, to create a calming atmosphere before bed.
Sleep Routine Tips
– Establish a consistent sleep routine to align with your fasting schedule.
– Use blackout curtains or eye masks to create a sleep-conducive environment.
