• A human body requires 8-9 hours of sleep every

  and body. Poor quality of sleep can lead to
  various physical and mental health problems.

Common Sleep Mistakes You Need to Avoid

• Drinking a cup of coffee late in the evening or
  right before your bedtime. Caffeinated drinks can
  have negative effects on your sleep and keep you
  awake at night.
• Sleeping with your pets. Studies have shown that
  sleeping with pets affects the quality of your
  sleep. It is advised to keep your pets in a
  separate room.
• Not following a regular sleeping schedule. A
  regular and consistent sleeping routine builds a
  strong sleep-wake cycle and good sleep habits.
• Sleeping with a mind filled with problems. Follow
  relaxation techniques, clear your mind and get
  rid of stress-inducing thoughts before you sleep.
• Drinking alcohol at night to sleep. Although
  alcohol can make you fall asleep quicker, it will
  decrease the quality of REM sleep and, the result
  will be daytime drowsiness.

Common Sleep Mistakes You Need to Avoid

• Using a smartphone, tablet or laptop before going
  to bed. Blue light emitted from these gadgets
  delay the production of sleep-inducing hormone
  melatonin.
• Exercising late in the evening or eating a heavy
  meal right before bedtime. Sleeping for long
  hours during the day.
• Avoiding sleep-related disorders or problems. If
  you think your quality of sleep is affected due
  to a disorder, then consult a sleep specialist to
  get a good nights sleep.
• Not sleeping on a comfortable mattress, using a
  hard pillow and leaving the lights on. Constantly
  checking time also affects your sleep. It is
  advised to maintain an optimal sleeping
  environment.
• Staying in bed when you are unable to sleep, this
  can make you frustrated or annoyed and further
  make it impossible for you to sleep. Going to
  another room and reading a book can help you
  sleep faster.
