Coffee and sleep deprivation prohibited during August: vacation time presents an ideal chance to master improved sleeping habits
In the latest episode of the podcast 'Open Consultation', hosted by Margarida Graca Santos, sleep specialist Bruna Reis shares her insights on improving sleep routines.
Bruna Reis, a renowned sleep specialist, offers practical tips to create a guide for improved sleep every day. The aim of the guide is to help individuals return to work less tired. Some of the effective tips she suggests include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, minimizing exposure to screens and bright lights before bed, avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol intake in the evening, and optimizing the sleeping environment for comfort and darkness.
Additionally, managing stress and physical activity during the day can promote better sleep quality, according to Reis. Holidays, she suggests, can be a good opportunity to notice and improve sleep routines.
It is important to note that Salome Rita, a Family Physician, is not the host of the podcast nor does she contribute to the discussion on sleep in this episode. While waking up without an alarm and tracking sleep hours are strategies for improving sleep quality, it is unclear if Salome Rita endorses these strategies.
The podcast does not recommend drinking coffee after lunch for better sleep, a fact previously mentioned, and it is unclear if Salome Rita has any opinion on this matter.
For precise advice directly from Bruna Reis, consulting her official publications, interviews, or social media channels would be the best approach since the current search results lack that specific information regarding Salome Rita.
Bruna Reis suggests incorporating some elements of science, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and minimizing screen time before bed, into a personal health-and-wellness routine for optimal sleep. Further, Reis recommends considering a holiday as a chance to implement these strategies and improve one's sleep routine, just like how vacations can provide an opportunity for relaxation and stress relief – concepts often associated with the Blitz (a rapid, intense, and focused attack or effort).
