14 Sleep Mistakes You Didn't Know You Made

- Picture this: you're exhausted after a long working day, and the only thing you can dream about is throwing yourself on the bed and blacking out. Not gonna happen! Instead, you're tossing and turning, trying to find the most comfortable position. Your mind gets plagued with endless thoughts, and even though you're worn out, sleep keeps eluding you! How come? The reason might be very simple - your seemingly innocent bedtime habits!
Sleep is extremely important for your body. It helps to restore energy, boosts your immune system, fends off depression, and decreases the risk of stroke and heart disease. Lack of proper sleep leads to daytime sleepiness, inability to concentrate, irritation, stress, and even high blood pressure! And if your insomnia drags on, you can get physically or mentally ill! So, try to avoid doing the things mentioned in this video before going to bed, and you'll feel way more rested and energetic in the morning and during the next day!

SUMMARY:
- Stop "watering" your body one hour before you hit the sack. Otherwise, you'll be bound to make one, or even a couple, of trips to the bathroom, which will rudely interrupt your sleep.
- Avoid gimmicky alarm clocks that "shine bright like a diamond in the sky." To wake you up, an alarm clock needs to be loud, not bright.
- It's a bad idea to eat right before going to bed, even if your dinner is light. Your body will still struggle to digest whatever you've fed it. Try not to eat anything 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.
- Any rigorous physical activity late at night will negatively affect your sleep. Try to exercise at least 4 hours before going to bed.
- Napping is an entirely normal, and often healthy, routine. But if your naps are regular and last longer than half an hour, they can mess up your sleep at night.
- By buying a good, high-quality mattress, you literally invest in your bright (and healthy) future.
- Thousands of people deal with stress and insomnia with the help of over-the-counter sleep aids. But it's not the best idea. Your body will most likely develop a tolerance to sleep medications; and pretty soon, they won't have any effect on you.
- If the book you're reading is interesting, it's next to impossible to put it aside. You're more likely to keep reading until you finish it at the expense of healthy rest.
- When it comes to sleep, it's crucial to have a routine and, even more importantly, stick to it.
- You might be waking up with a sore back, red eyes, and a painful neck just because you haven't found the proper sleeping position yet!
- The majority of people can't avoid thinking about work-related problems, to-do lists, and bills to pay before falling asleep. Unfortunately, these thoughts usually cause anxiety, which makes the quality of sleep way worse.
- If your feet tend to get cold at nighttime, remember to put on a pair of warm socks before going to bed.
- Do NOT drink coffee after 7 PM. I agree, it may sound a bit too obvious, but then you tell yourself that one tiny cup of espresso won't hurt, and there it goes...

Thanks Bright Side. I always wanted to know the time of these things. So I can do them at the right time.
Ty! :D
Wait i just noticed there are only 5 comments ( including me ) :O
As soon as he said “stop drinking water” I took a sip of water
🤣
Ha ha ha ha ha 😂😂😂😂😂
As soon as he said that I got thirsty XD
Lol
😂😂
his voice is so pleasant and sympathetic....it's a pleasure to listen to it! I didn't even know a lot about the points.
I always watch some ASMR before going to bed and it always helps me to sleep :))
I read a chapter of psalms before bedtime
I sleep nine hours straight, a friend mine recommend to me that!
Thank you

(:
I’ve tried that and praying and meditating. Doesn’t work for me.😢

@@reyy1177 idk lol but It had like an orange profile and no dashes lol
No use but thank you because there is in description
just to explain the one about getting cold while sleeping: because there is a reduction in kinetic-energy, your core body temp will drop several degrees Celsius (which is normal), but if it's a particularly cold night and you allow your body temp to drop too much, then you risk getting hypothermia (a significantly dangerous drop in body temp). Had the experience once when i drank lots of ice water right before bed without showering first (since i already did earlier that day) and it was a particularly cold winter's night, woke up at 3am the next morning shivering like an earthquake and not knowing how to stop it. just to be clear, i didn't feel cold, sure it was a cold night, but i was snug in a blanket and duve. about a half-hour later my mom then made me a hot cup of tea, and not 5 mins later the shivering stopped completely. turns out, my body temp dropped dangerously low and triggered the shivering which woke me up.
Uhhhhh
Ice wa
Red is NOT recommended for esp.seniors weakens stomach n heart beat functions
And you always have nightmares
Thanks for this info, really useful for people who have insomnia/ some type of sleep conditions.
I learn more on Bright Side than in my school.
Me too
Yeah
Bright Side: try to avoid your devices before you go to bed
Also Bright Side: making us watch this video to try and fall asleep
I was going to write the same😃
Yeah,me 2😀
bright side hasn't told you to watch this at 12am 😂
Yeah me 2
oscarmt 21 yeah but people are probably gonna try and fall asleep and fail and search up on TH-cam “how to fall asleep fast” and this video is gonna pop up and then they will watch and etc and they will get to that part and see oh..... and turn off there devices
When I 1st saw your channel it changed my life I recommend Brightside
I've heard it said (can't recall where or by whom) to hold your car keys in your hand while you try to nap; once you fall asleep enough to drop your keys (which should wake you up) you have had enough nap time. I used to do that, but now that I'm over 70, all I need is some quiet and a blanket over my feet, and up to my shoulders.
Just came from a video good job bright side!
Cedrick Gelicame many thanx!
When they said uncountable mattress and showed a couch I immediately thought “couches are more comfy”
Same
IM ON MY COUCH RIGHT NOW LOL

I invested in a "HOSPITAL MATTRESS", that is "LOW PRESSURE" . I did this after I had back surgery, and you are not on the mattress, "YOU ARE IN IT", and I am "OUT" in about 5 min. !!!!. in the morning, I really do not want to get out of bed ,I get up with no "PAIN" anywhere!!!!
"Besides, a hardy dinner disrupts your digestive system, leads to weight gain -"
Hold it right there, my whole point was to gain weight
😆😆😆😆😆
Hi5.........me too
lol same. im only 120 pounds and im 6 feet 2. i eat a lot befor bed to and i still never gained wight. what is this? then they say drinking pepsi makens you gain wight and i drink lots of pepsi every day and im still not gaining wight. i think there all faluse about gaining wight. eating surger dos not make you gain wight. if that was the case then i would be 800 pounds by then.
Thank you bright side this really helped me, I just found out I was doing the wrong thing
Me: My sleep habits are perfectly healthy
Also me: Watching this video way past my bedtime*

Bright sight: don’t go on your phone before bed
Me: going on my phone makes my sleep come
Sameee!
ikr
Salman Gamer77 I can only fall asleep to TH-cam videos cause it takes my mind off of stress and puts my mind focus on the video so therefore I fall right to sleep 😴
Same 😝🤣🤣
Ericca Haycraft same
So just basically sit perfectly still and do not do "anything" for 4 hours before bed time and you will fall asleep from sheer boredom...
Yup!👌👍
Yep! That'd be hard for me since I go to bed in the middle of the night 😂
I mean yeah....
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxMiAoooooooooooo
Lol
There are 5 stages of sleep which last 5 to 15 minutes, the fifth stage is REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage, it's where you get the healthiest sleep, generally around the 90-minute mark. It's said to get the best nights sleep, always try to wake up at the end of a ninety minute stage even if you have to add 90 minutes several times, just make sure it's always at the end of a 90 minute cycle.
Thanks for sharing
"Watches a video about sleep"
Me: Checks comments so I can see people commenting about watching the video when they need to be sleeping.
Awesome 😎😎😎😎
I liked your comment, so now you have 100 likes
Hopefully they don't comment at midnight!
That would be VERY bad!!!!
Reading books before bed, I always have and when I don’t I cannot sleep!
So true😂
Yeah nor can I 😂😂😂
Me to if i dont read i cant sleep
Thanks for the info
I have very bad sleeping issues and disorders and this helped a bit thanks
I use my phone before I sleep, it actually make me tired. And I can't fall asleep without it. I read story's.
Same i cant sleep without reading off wattpad
@@bexsbecy1081 OMG yes wattpad is where I get my story's.
@@bexsbecy1081 Wattpad is scary but ok
@@drearmeteor5997 wattpad is so not scary it is interesting but maybe it is just not for you
same tho i use my tablet
I literally do almost all this before bed 😂
Me tooooooooo
Me
Even napping before going to bed
Same 😂😂😂
Me to
"No gadget's before bed"
Me: watching this at 5 am.
Thanks 😊 for these healthy tips.
2:04 I almost got a heart attack
I'm a about to sleep so that really scared me.
Same!
Saaaame and I was watching it in the dark to lol
Lol
Oopps my heart weny ooppsss!!!
Am I the only one who thinks sleeping with the door open scarier than the door closed while sleeping?
Why are people still replying to this.
No
I like it open more but ur not alone
I dont know why I think this but its scarier for my door to be closed. Actually now that I think about it in claustrophobic XD
Nope I always close the door ●︿●
yes your not alone
I always found that reading helps me to fall asleep 😴
I appreciates your video many thanks .👍👍👍
Very informative indeed and I love the animation! I find reading a book makes me sleepy eventually. Sleeping on my back gives me nightmares. Sleeping on my stomach also gives me nightmares so I sleep in a recovery position instead which is very comfortable and doesn't give me any aches or pains. Thank you for sharing.
😟
I have screen time instead of reading because when ever I read I skip pages but when I have screen time I the light makes me sleepy
Who is watching this before sleep 😴
M-me 😩😴
Meee
I am
Me 🐈
Me and now is 01:50 AM
Keep the content up its really helpful
Thank you bright side I face problems getting cold sometimes,which disturbs my sleep
"There's hardly a person who doesn't know that eating a lot before going to bed can give you nightmares"
Me being that person: ._.
me too.
yep.
same.
i thought it just give you more pounds
That’s me all hands on deck 😂
So, an ad came on and it said something about not getting enough sleep. Perfect video to put that on.
I actually work out for nine minutes every night before bed to get me tired and it always works, every so month I can't fall asleep for some reason tho but I've been doing it for two years already and it still works
Me too.
I'll take precautions from now on
Reading makes me sleepy, even if it is very interesting and especially if I am in a comfy bed.
Especially math textbooks.
@@pranamyar.s7774 seriously?!
@@pranamyar.s7774 what..
If I read any Dean Koontz books at bedtime, it takes me a while to get sleepy. Most of his books get me on edge.
@@johntiggleman4686 I have done that and Stephen King books too. Its just something about the act of reading that makes me sleepy.
My internal clock is different than most the people I know but to be productive I have to sleep at night. So part of my routine is to journal about everything that happened, the things I would rather have said or done differently and finally get out all the things I am worried about after the day was done!
Thanks Bright Side 💡
thank you for this video. Now, i can sleep peacefully at night.
Not gonna lie but I eat food sometimes in bed while I'm watching TH-cam or Netflix 🙊🙊
Same
Same
Who doesn't 😂😂😂
Yeah M2 lol
Me too
Bright side : How many hours did you sleep last night??
Me : I was supposed to sleep..?
Hahaha
Ikr 🤣😂
Thank you you helped me a lot
For everyone who can't sleep,
*Do not watch horror movies before going to bed*
Me: Looking at the dark cabinet while sleeping😱
Afternoon naps is my favorite! 10min isn't enough I need 2hrs.
Absolutely.👍
Like my mother . She loves napping
I only drink coffee in the early morning on a work day. Also, if you're really hungry before going to bed, I recommend toast. The starch will help you get sleepy.
Wonderful thank ls for sharing
Thanks for a help
I drink a tiny bit of Lipton tea called " Stress Less". Camomile didn't do much for me but combined with Lavender it really does relax me and I sleep better. And the mattress tip is obvious. I was recommended to this mattress store that delivered a cheap version of what I picked out and bought. I went back to the store and without accusing the young salesman of lying and deceit, I convinced him to exchange it for the floor model of the mattress I picked out at first about $320. I suggested they throw in a free set of sheets to call the mishap even. Once home read the mattress tag, it was RECONDITIONED! But it's been a year and it has served me well.😉
Sleep is very important in order to be fresh and able to work on your dreams! Great video! :)
Listening to TH-cam videos with my phone face down helps me to fall asleep and me to not have racing thoughts.
Ty!
Good video, also having a "get ready for bed" routine helps a lot, I drink water an hour before bed so when I do wake up and see that it's midnight, Yay! 6 more hours of sleep, feeling good in the morning
I watched bright videos like crazy... I love this channel
I have trouble sleeping (and also stopping whatever i’m doing to sleep) so to help me i have a playlist of 6/7 songs or so (idk i didnt count) which is about 20 minutes and in a specific order to calm me down, starting with my favorite songs (Snowcone, Tantrum, similar) ending with Despair, Sweater Weather, and a song called 1: 45am (by No Rome, amazing song btw u should check it out) and when i get to that one i get myself in a comfortable sleeping position, turn the volume in my headphones all the way up, & i close my eyes while facing the screen & sitting still. It feels almost like listening to the radio in a car, with the visuals of the music video sort of flashing y like headlamps outside of a car window & a subtle almost unnoticeable rumbling in the background like a car engine, & it gets me ready to fall asleep. Sometimes when i’m really tired i fall asleep during the song with my headphones still on. The playlist also helps calm me down when i’m having a mental breakdown or an existential crisis or something like that. If i’ve stayed up really late i’ll just do the last 3 songs.
Great job
am i the only person that it will take an hour or more for me to fall asleep at night, but like5-10minutes to fall asleep during the day
Your not alone 🤦🏻♀️
samee?
A power nap is great. I sleep around five hours a night and a short nap helps me get through the day.
Great tips 🌷
Thanks ❤️
Great tips! Getting sleep right and having good evening routines has astronomical effects on your tomorrow
Thanks Mr. Smarty Pants😂😂I have feeling you probably helped make this video,right?
Great opinion!;)
Listening to relaxing sounds of nature really relaxes me before bed!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
same!
Same
Thx bright side I needed this :)
Amazing!
I always drink water before bed and next morning I’m fine
Ohhh taste ©um
same i drink 900ml before sleep
Same
Same
what am i supposed to do i have to take a pill before bed and must drink water after swallowing it
In the last time, I was needed to be awake most of the night... I drank coffee. That totally didn't work...
I had two ice teas in the afternoon - what was I thinking - and was up all night.
So delightful, and thank you ever so much. All of the ideas are so sound. However, I must confess, I do like to read a book every night whilst tucked into bed. Over 50 years of night time reading, then down with the book, off goes the light, and off to sleepy bye land. 'Twas quite thrilled when my husband picked up the habit and seemed to truly enjoy it. As did my lads. Learned it from my Dad.Bless his beautiful warm, loving and clever heart. It quiets the mind, and as long as you have a clock nearby, you shan't be up all night. Hey, some books are THAT fine !! LOL. Thank you for the rest of the info. Superb and BRAVO !!
Nice book advice well said
i can sleep perfectly fine drinking water before bed though- and also eatting- and i dont wake up in the middle of night- ;-;
With the coffee one, I usually go by not drinking coffee after school hours (or 3pm) in order to get to sleep easy enough any day of the week.
I ate a heavy meal before going to bed, now I'm here!
Contrary to what was said in the video, I need to have water handy to keep my mouth from getting dry. I don't drink a lot though. I'll usually wake up a couple of times during the night but usually will fall right back asleep.
Having a cup of nice warm milk about an hour before bedtime and relieving myself right before bedtime helps me to get a goodnight sleep.
This video made me sleepy
👍 if you agree
Me. Too.
I love this
I have insomnio And I was stretching I was watching this now I know Ino How I have Insomio I will restart tomorrow and also thanks alot
If don’t drink water before going to bed i have a throat pain in the moring
Same my throat will be sore
Same
Bright side-"According to Bright side, we should stop our lives before going to bed"
My Brain-"It ain't gonna happen"
Lol
lol so true
this channel is very use ful
I need to have a projection alarm clock so I can just open one eye to see what time it is projected onto the wall. This lets me know if I slept long enough before I start waking myself up. These clocks can be hard to find though they are dim enough. Mine is from Radio Shack
(Enough said) but I’ve seen them at Wal Mart
I do napping in afternoon specially to a boring class.
Especially during science and math
Lovely video 😍❣️ nice work team
I love your vids!
I fell asleep while watching this movie. Thnx bright side
*Sleeping late to watch this while eating...*
H E A L T H Y
You can read boring books instead! Boring books help me to fall sleep hahaha
Dali which was the most boring book u read?
Was it peppa pig?
It's true . Read a boring book
Generally, all books. Book can really help you feel relaxed and sleep.
Write urself hard math questions you will get bored soon
That explains much!
I wear the protective blue eyes glasses whenever i am on a device it actually really helps you guys should suggest buying them and they and also are very cheap!😁
