Wind Down to Bed:
The way you transition into sleep can have a profound effect on how well you rest. Before bedtime, focus on relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle stretching to calm your body and mind. Disconnect from screens at least 30 minutes before bed, and try to keep a consistent sleep schedule, even during your period.Hydration:
Proper hydration is often overlooked when it comes to better sleep, but staying well-hydrated can help with period cramps and overall comfort. Aim to drink water throughout the day, especially during your period, to prevent dehydration-related fatigue. Be mindful to reduce your intake of caffeinated beverages before bedtime as they can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.Create a Supportive Sleep Environment:
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest. Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in comfortable bedding, and consider using calming scents like lavender. A supportive sleep environment can make all the difference, especially when you're dealing with period discomfort.
