Why is sleep difficult in the fall and winter?
How much sleep do I need during these winter months? The limit does not exist. All I want to do during these cold months is stay in bed. It gets darker earlier in the evenings, and when I wake up in the morning, it's still dark. It's cold. All of which can make it hard to get out of bed.
Luckily, there are some simple tweaks everyone can make in order to feel more energized and to help optimize their sleep.
Get in some natural light by going outside during the day; even a few minutes can make a difference. A consistent sleep schedule can also help.
In addition to this, using the above items to shift your sleep space to support you during these cold months can also make a massive difference. A sunrise alarm clock can help you wake up gently in the morning, and let me tell you, there is just something about not waking up/getting ready in the total dark that boosts your mood.
The best weighted blankets can help soothe anxiety and promote feelings of calm. And of course a good sheet set, comforter, and pillow can ensure that the sleep you are getting is optimal.
