How to improve the quality of your sleep?

1. Put your smartphones aside: Make it a thumb rule to keep all your internet supporting devices outside your bedroom(or on airplane mode, if they serve as your alarm clock too), at least 1-2 hours before you would like to doze off and the sleep angel would definitely show up on time.

2. Read a book: Pick up your favourite book (even a less interesting one would work) and within 30 minutes, your mind will start feeling lighter. A research observed that half an hour of dedicated reading greatly reduces stress levels which in turn flushes out all the negative thoughts, thus relaxing the mind.

3. Exercise regularly: Besides exhausting your body, exercise also releases happy hormones which help reduce stress and calm your mind.

4. Avoid late and heavy meals: Dinner should always be kept light and the gap between the last meal of the day and bedtime should be at least 1-2 hours.

5. Take wise Naps: Take small day naps, not too close to your bedtime in order to use them just as power boosts.

6. Change the atmosphere of the room: Bright lights, loud noises and too much outdoor and indoor activity signal the feeling of daytime to our body. So, dimming the lights, playing some calming music and shutting all other activities before going to bed would notify the body about sleep time. The air of the room should feel and smell fresh.

Fat performs a number of functions and provides several health benefits:

Energy: Fat is an excellent energy source. It provides 9 calories per gram, whereas protein and carbs each provide 4 calories per gram.

Hormone and gene regulation: Fats regulate the production of reproductive and steroid hormones, as well as genes involved in growth and metabolism.
Brain function: Adequate fat intake is important for brain health, including mood.

Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamins A, D, E and K must be consumed with fat to be properly absorbed.

Flavor and fullness: Adding fat to foods makes them tastier and more filling.
