DOLCE DIET LIFESTYLE:
\n5 Ways to Improve Sleep<\/h2>\n

by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD<\/h4>\n

Having trouble sleeping often has to do with our daily habits. Here is a list of things to do during the day to help improve your sleep cycle.
\n1) Sleep in a Dark Room<\/strong>
\nLight doesn\u2019t allow us to fall into a fully deep sleep. Tip: PUT DOWN THE PHONE. Studies show that the light from our cell phones tend to keep us awake longer, even after we’ve shut them off.
\n2) Read Instead<\/strong>
\nThis will relax you and allow your brain to focus.
\n3) Exercise<\/strong>
\nYou\u2019ll see an improvement in sleep if you work out regularly 3-5 days per week rigorously. HOWEVER, if you are overtraining, or more technically, falling into Overreaching Syndrome, you will see inconsistent sleep patterns. If you train twice a day, every day with no rest days, your body will never fully recover, and your sleep will suffer.
\n4) Increase your Zinc and Magnesium Intake<\/strong>
\nThese two minerals can improve sleep quality, along with melatonin. Add more zinc through protein-rich foods like nuts and meat\/poultry. Add more magnesium with nuts and seeds.
\n5) Step Outside<\/strong>
\nExposure to natural light helps regulate the body\u2019s natural sleep cycle, which will allow you to fall into a deeper sleep faster, and stay asleep.
