Thank you sir . As you know , sleep

00:29.150 --> 00:31.150
effects every aspect of our lives ,

00:31.150 --> 00:33.317
both in the physical state and also in

00:33.317 --> 00:35.372
the mental state . Having good sleep

00:35.372 --> 00:37.539
hygiene and sleep optimization is very

00:37.539 --> 00:39.594
important to make sure that we're at

00:39.594 --> 00:41.594
our best . Each and every day . I'm

00:41.594 --> 00:43.761
gonna give you a few tips to make sure

00:43.761 --> 00:45.928
that you're you're utilizing those and

00:45.928 --> 00:47.983
ensuring you receive good sleep . So

00:47.983 --> 00:49.983
make sure you're forming good sleep

00:49.983 --> 00:49.540
habits . What does that mean ? You need

00:49.540 --> 00:51.830
to be in a good routine and prioritize

00:51.830 --> 00:54.430
your sleep . Uh Some things you can do

00:54.430 --> 00:56.820
to wind down is uh 30 minutes prior ,

00:56.820 --> 00:58.653
making sure your unplugging from

00:58.653 --> 01:00.709
electronics , turning the Tv off and

01:00.709 --> 01:02.820
doing something relaxing to make sure

01:02.820 --> 01:04.931
that you're you're not re stimulating

01:04.931 --> 01:07.610
your mind , light stretching , reading

01:07.620 --> 01:09.787
or something that will relax your body

01:09.787 --> 01:12.710
again . Um prioritizing the room as

01:12.710 --> 01:14.932
well . Um And what do I mean by that is

01:14.932 --> 01:17.154
drawing the curtains , making sure it's

01:17.154 --> 01:19.377
dark . Um Keeping a cool temperature as

01:19.377 --> 01:21.340
well , don't do any type of heavy

01:21.340 --> 01:24.070
exercise prior to going to bed that

01:24.070 --> 01:26.330
will raise your body temperature and

01:26.330 --> 01:28.010
and it will hinder good sleep

01:28.010 --> 01:30.830
optimization . Um And also make sure

01:30.830 --> 01:32.997
you're investing in a good mattress or

01:32.997 --> 01:35.219
pillow . Those two items will make sure

01:35.219 --> 01:36.997
that you're comfortable and and

01:36.997 --> 01:39.219
ensuring that you have a cooling effect

01:39.220 --> 01:41.498
from the right mattress and and pillow .

01:41.498 --> 01:44.730
So again sometimes neglected , but very

01:44.730 --> 01:46.897
important for all of us to ensure that

01:46.897 --> 01:49.063
we are receiving proper sleep and then

01:49.063 --> 01:52.290
ready to go for the next day . Chief .

01:52.290 --> 01:54.401
