12 Things You’d Better Do at Night Instead of in the Morning

[Music] so if you've never thought about this well now is the time 12 things we better do at night instead of in the morning there are many things we do in the morning because it seems like the perfect and the only possible time for them in fact research shows that taking a shower brushing your hair airing the room and some other everyday rituals should be done in the evening now there's a bonus at the end of the video that explains how we can get good sleep with the help of a pencil and you don't want to miss that but before we start breaking habits take a moment to subscribe to our channel and turn on post notifications to keep up with our updates all righty here we go counting down from number 12 eating meat or cottage cheese if you don't eat for a few hours before you go to bed you won't sleep well hunger often causes insomnia and if you go to bed without having dinner you'll probably need a large breakfast it's good to eat some meat or cottage cheese because both products contain a lot of protein and tryptophan it's an amino acid that contributes to good sleep a large portion of vegetables is not a good alternative because you may get bloated moon' number 11 walking take a stroll before going to bed it will help you step over all the worries of the day you can enjoy silence and think about the things that bother you also evening strolls are proven to be good for health and they help to cope with insomnia according to the National Sleep Foundation research more than that new ideas or extraordinary solutions to problems may come to your mind while you walk if you want any proof of that you'll like to know that Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook and Jack Dorsey the CEO of Twitter both like evening walks number 10 thinking over and writing down an action plan for the upcoming day Darren Hardy publisher of Success Magazine and the author of a book called the compound effect is sure that making your plans at night contributes to keeping your life in order we usually make plans in the morning when we're in a hurry and as a result we forget about important things or take on more responsibilities than we can actually deal with thorough planning will help you stay calm in the morning and perform all necessary actions step by step without wasting precious time and energy no worries your daily schedule doesn't mean you can't improvise it just means that your day will run smoother and it'll be harder to take you off course number nine airing out your room it like if airing out your room in the morning is one of your routine activities here's why you might want to reconsider it human beings bodies contain white fat very often this fat shows up where we don't want it to appear the most but there's another kind of fat called brown fat it's involved in the body's thermal regulation and acts as a source of energy various tests prove that white fat can transform into brown as a result of the cold temperature effect that improves metabolism open the window in your bedroom at night to cool the air you don't have to keep it open till you freeze but just letting the cool air in is enough to make brown fat work faster and consume more energy even while you sleep number eight prepare your lunch and outfit in advance if you have your outfit prepared for the next day it'll save your time and nerves in the morning you'll avoid the torturous decision-making you'll be sure that what you want to wear is ready to go and you'll have at least 15 minutes to spare that you can spend on a light workout or a cup of coffee you could also have your lunch prepared in the evening if you usually eat in the office think about everything in advance an empty fridge won't give you any extra energy or put you in a good mood number seven doing yoga and meditating we often miss morning exercises because of the lack of time but it's the evening yoga that helps put our thoughts and emotions in order relieve tension and get us ready to greet the next day nowadays meditation is also very popular spend at least 10 minutes meditating before you go to bed it's important to concentrate your attention on your inner awareness lie down close your eyes and think about each part of your body concentrating on it and relaxing it it'll be way easier for you to fall asleep after this exercise number 6 taking a hot shower or bath a hot shower in the morning isn't the best choice because the hot temperature is actually a sleep aid it does more good if you have it at night because this change in body temperature creates an impulse in our body to fall asleep faster a warm tub is actually a great way to cope with insomnia it also calms nerves cleans clogged pores stabilizes the glucose level in blood relaxes the backbone and all that is very important after a long work day in the office number 5 reading something you want to remember your brain memorizes everything better at night no wonder so many students study at night to pass their exams and actually get good grades scientists from the University of Sussex also prove that reading is the best way to relax because plunging into a different world helps in getting rid of the stress from daily problems better than both tea and music you only need to spend 6 minutes with a book to reduce your anxiety level and relax the muscles when I say book I really mean it smart phones or laptops with their bright screen light aren't a good alternative as they'll make falling asleep much harder number four eating a Kiwi to sleep well many people prefer to eat fruit in the morning but there are some fruits that were better off eating at night like kiwi fruit several studies show that consuming two Kiwi one hour before going to bed over the course of a month helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly vitamins E and C regulate neural connections in the brain that are responsible for healthy sleep cycles and serotonin production don't replace kiwi with lemons you'll get the opposite effect lemons invigorate our body and give us energy the only exception to this rule is if you have a cup of warm water with honey and lemon number three drinking a glass of cherry juice new research from Louisiana State University found that two glasses of cherry juice helps you sleep nearly 90 more minutes a night ruby red pigments and cherries decrease the breakdown of tryptophan and help it last longer and it work more if you don't like cherry juice eat seaweed during dinner according to studies held in Oxford seaweed contains a lot of omega-3 acid that helps you sleep better and longer number two brushing your hair brushing the hair before bed cleans away dead cells dust and skin fat and a light massage with a smooth brush helps transport oxygen and nutrient rich materials to the roots in the morning you won't need to stow your hair in a hurry stylist Sam Burnett of Great Britain claims that brushing your hair two to three times a day is enough otherwise it becomes oily and brittle and number one analyzing the day analyze the day recall all the good things that happen to you think about what you would like to change and make some notes if you have a diary studies show that doing a daily analysis is very useful and if you still suffer from a lack of positive emotions before bed do something pleasant like pet your cat for example now here's our bonus a pencil can help you cope with snoring and headaches if one of your family members snores or if you snore we recommend this exercise that will strengthen the muscles of the upper palate because it's weak if you snore [Music] during your free time place a pencil between your teeth and hold it for five to ten minutes this simple exercise can also relieve a headache because certain other muscles relax now then do you have your own evening rituals that you can't go without feel free to share in the comment section below if you like this video let us
