Do you want to look and feel relaxed? Really relaxed? There is nothing more nourishing and revitalizing than sleep. The problem is that we sometimes lose the knack of getting to sleep. This week you are going to sleep yourself back to vitality, by brushing up on your slumber ‘hygiene’, which means ensuring your bedtime habits and your bedroom itself encourage sleep.

Your Amrutam guide to restful sleep

Create the perfect bedroom

Your bedroom should be comfortable (neither too hot nor too cold), dark, quiet and free from reminders of work. Try not to watch television or eat in bed. Reserve your bed for sleep.

Reset your sleep/wake cycle

Get up at the same time every day until your body’s circadian (natural) rhythm has been restored. Even if you have been sleeping badly, try to sacrifice a lie-in this weekend. Don’t expect to feel rested if you force yourself to sleep until lunchtime on Saturday or Sunday because daylight tells your brain that it is time to wake up. This is because the sleep/wake cycle is governed by the hormone melatonin, which is sensitive to light and dark. 

 

Don’t sleep too long

You can actually sleep too much; sleep consists of 90-minute cycles of both light and deep sleep. After a normal night’s sleep, your body wakes up naturally, usually coinciding with the end of a 90-minute sleep cycle. If you extend your sleeping hours, you risk waking up during the next cycle’s deep phase from which it is often harder to surface. This can make you feel groggy and disorientated.

Avoid rich food at night

Don’t go to bed after a heavy meal (wait about two hours) or on an empty stomach (have a snack such as cereal or a milky drink).

Adopt a new sleep position

The Chinese believe you should sleep on your right side, almost in a frontal position with your legs slightly bent and your right arm resting in front of the pillow to allow your blood to circulate freely.

Eat lettuce

The natural sleep-inducing properties of lettuces are believed to be the reason why pet tortoises, whose diet is largely made up of lettuce, sleep so much! Lettuce contains tryptophan, which triggers the production of the calming brain chemical serotonin.

Amrutam Face Clean Up Reviews

Currently on my second bottle and happy with how this product has kept acne & breakouts in check. It doesn't leave the skin too dry and also doubles as a face mask.

Juhi Bhatt

Amrutam face clean up works great on any skin type, it has helped me keep my skin inflammation in check, helps with acne and clear the open pores. Continuous usage has helped lighten the pigmentation and scars as well. I have recommended the face clean up to many people and they have all loved it!!

Sakshi Dobhal

This really changed the game of how to maintain skin soft supple and glowing! I’m using it since few weeks and see hell lot of difference in the skin I had before and now. I don’t need any makeup or foundation to cover my skin imperfections since now they are slowly fading away after I started using this! I would say this product doesn’t need any kind of review because it’s above par than expected. It’s a blind buy honestly . I’m looking forward to buy more products and repeat this regularly henceforth.
