How to fix your sleep

How do you fix your sleep? I took part in a panel of experts for CNN to address this issue for people. 

For many people when they start having sleep problems it stems from a multitude of factors that are all coming together to disrupt their sleep.

Certified sleep science coach Jason Piper, founder of Build Better Sleep, agrees that while sleep is important all the time, getting proper high-quality sleep during a pandemic will help you to keep your immune system in tip-top shape, handle stress better, improve your mood and be more resilient.

“There are a lot of unknowns right now and being able to flex and bend instead of break will allow you to come out of this better,” he says. Sleeping in a completely dark room helps lead to maximum melatonin production, according to Piper.

Piper’s favorite mask is made by Manta Sleep. This mask touts 100% blackout capability, and fans swear by how well it stays on throughout the night.

Melatonin for Sleep

Melatonin is a popular sleep aid. Build Better Sleep was contacted to contribute for this article for the United Kingdom company Dreams.

It is a great article on everything about Melatonin.

Melatonin has its place after you make sure your environment is setup properly.

How To Sleep Better

If you’re having difficulty sleeping, it could be due to your exposure to light, which confuses your signalling system. Jason Piper, a certified sleep coach and founder of Build Better Sleep told us:

“Melatonin is also known as the Dracula hormone because it only comes out at night. It is produced in the pineal gland and released when it is dark out. It helps us to feel sleepy, entrain our circadian rhythm, and is the body’s strongest antioxidant.

The body has natural rhythms to wake us up and to put us to sleep. This is very useful. In the morning our cortisol levels naturally rise to wake us up and prime us for the day. Cortisol is good in the morning as it makes us alert, clear thinking, and gives us energy. At night as the sun sets, our eyes register the changing light and melatonin is released so that we feel sleepy, so we can rest and repair the body overnight.

If you think back to a time before electricity, this worked perfectly. We were up at daylight to hunt, farm, and gather. All of the days’ activities were done during daylight hours and then night time was dedicated to sleeping.

Fast forward to today, and most of society is living opposite of their biological clocks and it is wreaking havoc on their bodies. We wake up and head off to spend most of the day inside a building under dim lighting compared to the sun. We then come home and turn on bright lights compared to what is outside when it is dark. This action tells the body it is still daytime. This is why a number of people are having a hard time falling asleep. They are sending mixed signals to their brain.”

How does noise affect sleep?

Have you ever wondered how much noises can affect your sleep? It is more than you might expect. I was contacted to offer up my opinion on noise and sleep in Bustle.

 

When all that’s clattering around in the background, it can make it difficult to get enough rest. “When you are asleep, noise is your body’s first warning system to danger […] So even when you are asleep the brain is processing surrounding noise,” Jason Piper, a certified sleep coach and founder of Build Better Sleep, tells Bustle. “This can impact your sleep by preventing you from dropping down into deep sleep or interrupting it.”

 

While it might feel like you slept OK, it’s these deeper stages that you need in order to truly function the next day. “If you just start to drift into deep sleep and then a car alarm pops you back into a light sleep stage, chances are you are going to be tired feeling in the morning,” Piper says.
